DISCOVER THE ISLAND OF VOLCANOES

Declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1993, Lanzarote is a unique island, with volcanic landscapes, charming towns and dream beaches that conquer everyone who visits it. It is the third most populated island of the Canaries and the fourth in extension. Located in the northeast of the archipelago, it has a population of about 145,000 inhabitants and an area of 845.94 km² Another of the jewels of Lanzarote is its climate. On this island it is always spring, with sun and temperatures ranging between 17 and 24 degrees Celsius.

Thus, it has a dry subtropical or subdesert climate. And it is not surprising, because Lanzarote is located in the Atlantic Ocean, about 100 kilometers from the African continent, at the height of the Sahara desert. However, Lanzarote goes beyond a simple sun and beach destination, offering volcanic landscapes worthy of the planet Mars and towns that preserve the tradition of the island and in which culture and art are of immeasurable value. In addition, its people are, without a doubt, one of the great heritages of the island.

The volcanic eruptions of the island have caused a great impact on the relief and landscape of the island. The highest peak is at 670 meters above sea level and is called Las Peñas del Chache. The Timanfaya National Park is its most impressive natural space. It is an area of just over 50 km² in which more than 25 volcanoes can be observed, apart from lava fields and other volcanic formations in perfect state of conservation. Lanzarote boasts an island flora and fauna full of endemisms.

In addition, the island has been at the forefront of the Canaries in terms of environmental awareness, as demonstrated by its pioneering legal framework to achieve a perfect balance between tourist development and preservation of the natural environment. In this sense, the artist César Manrique had much influence on this achievement on the island. Lanzarote, like the rest of the Canary Islands, is governed by the Island Council, an entity exclusive to the archipelago in terms of government matters. Líneas Romero has a wide range of maritime routes to transport you by ferry between some of its most famous beaches, and between other islands. In addition, it offers excursions that depart from Lanzarote to the islands of La Graciosa and Fuerteventura. There is no better way to get to know the Canary Islands! Escape sailing through the Atlantic and discover these wild islands that will captivate you.

Located within the Natural Park of Los Ajaches, is one of the best beaches in Lanzarote: Papagayo beach. A paradisiacal place that has the advantage of being in the middle of nature, although in just 5 minutes you can reach it from the coastal town of Playa Blanca. A small cove perfect for when you are looking for a shore without wind, since the small rock in which it is located makes it sheltered to enjoy the sun more.

Its strong point is also the views, since in front of it you can contemplate the island of Lobos and the silhouette of Fuerteventura. In this area you can also find two other essential beach areas: El Pozo and Playa Mujeres. Despite not being the most well-known or "Instagrammable", they have a wide coast of golden sand and the turquoise and crystal clear waters typical of the south of the island. Due to the tranquility of the sea and its environment, they are ideal for sunbathing and taking a dip.

Alegranza is the most northerly island of the Chinijo Archipelago and of all the Canary Islands. It is also the second largest island in this archipelago, after La Graciosa, with a total area of 10.30 km². Currently it is owned by the Martinón-Jordán family.

Therefore, access to it can only be made through a private boat. On this island, the Caldera de Alegranza stands out, a large volcanic building with a crater of 1.1 km in diameter and an altitude of 289 msnm. On the island, the white-tailed sea eagle breeds, so in it the highest reproductive density of the Canary Islands and Spain is achieved

The Roque del Este is another of the islets that make up the Chinijo Archipelago, located in the Atlantic Ocean, to the northeast of Lanzarote. It has a small area, but in it two heights are highlighted at each end of the islet: the highest, to the north, has 84 m and is known as El Campanario; the other, to the south, does not exceed 63 m.

Of its fauna, a lizard (Gallotia Atlántica) stands out, although it also has Madeira parakeet and Bulwer's petrel, the white-tailed sea eagle (Calonectris diomedea), the small pardela and the European peacock.

From Lanzarote you can observe this incredible archipelago from the Mirador del Río. This work of the Lanzarote artist César Manrique rises at 400 meters of altitude, in the Famara cliff.

An iconic work of his art integrated into nature, with a lookout from which to observe these islands and islets, whose surface contrasts with the blue of the ocean.
