Attractions in Lanzarote
by: Jakob Jelling
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 appealing characteristics
of Lanzarote is its climate. Lanzarote 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 tourists can visit in Lanzarote. This
house is interesting from 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 observe some unique
spots and amazing lava formations. Near this
place, the Jardín de Cactus is another
interesting spot to meet, containing a wide
variety of species and kinds of cactus which
those who enjoy nature and plants would surely
like to observe.
