Points of interest and things to do
Lanzarote is the island where the volcanic history of the Canary Islands is most visible. Jameos Del Agua, in the north of the island, is one of the main tourist attractions. The natural caves and tubes created by the volcanic activity make it a unique place to visit on Lanzarote holidays.
Many of the tourist developments in Lanzarote have been planned to fit with the ecology of the island. Much of this is due to the architect and environmentalist, César Manrique. A fine example of his work is Costa Teguise where the
sympathetic architecture and clever integration of features like the marina and water park is a fine example of how tourism need not have a negative impact on the environment.
The capital of the island is Arrecife. It is the main shopping centre on the island and the ideal place to find a souvenir of holidays in Lanzarote.
The area around Masdache is the main wine making region of the island. Visitors can enjoy a tour of the winery at Bodegas El Grifo which has won many awards for its fine wines.
Like many parts of Spain, religious festivals and saints days are an important part of life on the island. The fiestas feature colourful processions, fancy dress parades, food and entertainment. The fiestas will give you an insight into the traditional life of the people of the island. If you get a chance to visit a fiesta, take it – you won’t regret it.
Holidays to Lanzarote offer the visitor a vast array of choices. You can relax on the stunning beaches or enjoy the traditional cultural life, you can have fun with the family or challenge yourself with a sporting activity. Whatever you choose, you are sure to enjoy your time on this intriguing island.
