Just off the coast of Africa, there are seven small islands that make up the Canary Islands. Thanks to the all year round warm climate these islands are very popular with holiday-makers, especially during the winter months as people try to escape the cold and soak up the winter rays.
Lanzarote is the most easterly of the Canary Islands, and the fourth largest. The difference between Lanzarote and the other Canary Islands (especially Tenerife) is that is largely unspoilt. There are no high rise buildings, no billboards and the houses and buildings are all painted white.
There are three main resorts for holiday-makers visiting Lanzarote. Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca. All three resorts are well maintained and offer people a selection of beaches, bars, restaurants and entertainment.
The island, despite its rocky, volcanic terrain is naturally beautiful. The main attraction has to be The Timanfaya National Park. The park was the heart of the volcanic eruptions that made Lanzarote what it is today. Mile after mile of lava fields give the national park a 'moon' like appearance. Not far from Fire Mountain, the islands only remaining dormant Volcano, lies the Devil’s Diner where visitors can watch their food is cooked on a giant grill, powered by the heat emanating from miles beneath the earth’s surface.
Lanzarote is the perfect island to visit for a relaxing holiday.
