There is a great amount of different things to do and places to
meet in the island of Lanzarote. Lanzarote is located towards
the eastern area of the Canary Islands, and shows a size of
about 13 miles in width and40 miles in length. One of the most

offers warm temperatures and scarce rains year around, turning
it into a great place for those who wish to spend time at the
beach and enjoy as many outdoor activities as possible.

The Limantaya National Park is one of the first spot tourists
should visit while being in the island. This park was created
over an area of lava field of more than 20 square miles. This
lava field was created around the year 1730, when several
volcanic eruptions covered the area with lava.

The House of Cesar Manrique is another interesting place

several points of view, such as from an architectonic
perspective or a historic and an art related one. Near this
place, within the central region of Lanzarote, there is the
island's city of Arrecife, where tourists can find hotels,
shops, restaurants and other facilities. 

The northern area of Lanzarote has several attractive places to
visit. One of these places is the Jameos del Agua, offering a
formation of lava underground tunnels created after a volcanic
eruption. Another spot to visit near the Jameos del Agua is the
Mirador del Río. The Mirador del Río allows visitors to enjoy an
amazing view and incredible landscapes since it is built over a
strategic cliff area.

Another great place tourists can visit in this area of the
island is La Cueva de los Verdes or Cave of the Greens. La Cueva
de los Verdes is a system of lava caves and tunnels which are
very interesting to meet. Visitors can walk through them and
