Lanzarote: Paradise is very close
Pure nature, landscapes of enigmatic contrasts, attractive underwater and volcanic scenes, arid and desert land, oasis and palm trees, 200 km. of coastline with fine white, gold and black sand, a privileged climate... The beautiful island of Lanzarote has much to offer. Declared Biosphere Reserve by Unesco, blends modern and bustling tourist resorts with small white houses, unspoilt areas, landscapes that appear in films like Hace un millón de años, Los abrazos rotos, Invasor, In the Heart of Sea, amongst others.
Lanzarote is a caprice of nature, shaped with flair by its volcanic past and human touch. Nowadays it is impossible to imagine this island without the brilliance of César Manrique, one of its most international son/citizen. Life in the renown Tierra del Fuego goes on quietly, unaware of the tedious worldy problems./tedious problems of the rest of the world. Main Highlights: the lunar appearance of Parque Nacional de Timanfaya, Jameos del Agua, Los Verdes Cave, Mirador del Río… Those who are gourmets can savour its excellent gastronomy, wines and malmseys D.O. Lanzarote (certificate of origin). A land of history and tradition, visited by many artists seeking for inspiration. However, visiting this paradise is very risky … you may want to stay there forever… like Omar Sharif or José Saramago.
