Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the oldest of the Canary Islands, along with its neighbor Fuerteventura. Nicknamed "the island of 300 volcanoes," its magnetic field captivates you with raw energy.

Its lunar landscapes, sometimes chaotic, sometimes immaculate, invite us on an inner journey. In Lanzarote, every vine that grows is a feat, every farmer is an engineer, every craftsman is an artist, and every artist is a committed citizen. "No aesthetics without ethics," advocated national icon César Manrique, who fought to preserve and promote his island. Here, as the locals who will guide you suggest, you must take your time to savor and experience the beauty that surrounds you. For your stay, we recommend renting a car so you can freely explore the four corners of the island.
