About Lanzarote

Lanzarote, the easternmost of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, is a Spanish island situated 125 kilometers off the north coast of Africa and 1,000 kilometers from the Iberian Peninsula. With an area of 845.94 square kilometers, it ranks as the fourth-largest in the archipelago. Timanfaya National Park, located in the southwest, is a prominent attraction, and the entire island was designated a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 1993. Arrecife, positioned along the eastern coastline, serves as the capital, and Lanzarote is the smaller main island of the Province of Las Palmas.
César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport serves as the main entry point to the island, and the airport features two terminals, T1 and T2. T2 is exclusively dedicated to inter-island flights to and from other Canary Islands, operated by regional airlines Binter Canarias and Canaryfly. Located approximately 5 kilometers southwest of the island's capital, Arrecife, the airport is connected to the city by the LZ-2 road.
Some of the top attractions of Lanzarote include Papagayo Beach, nestled in a bay on Lanzarote's southern tip, which offers a slice of paradise with its golden sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Jameos del Agua, a creation by César Manrique within volcanic caves, blends art and nature harmoniously. Cueva de los Verdes, an extraordinary volcanic cave shaped by lava flows after the Monte Corona eruption, holds legends within its natural landscape. Timanfaya National Park, spanning 50 square kilometers in southwest Lanzarote, presents a Mars-like expanse of volcanoes amidst a sea of lava. Explore the legacy of Lanzarote's renowned artist by visiting the César Manrique Foundation, housed in the impressive Volcano House in Tahíche. Famara Beach, among the island's largest and most beautiful, invites discovery of its scenic beauty.
