The island oasis of Lanzarote, Spain, is eagerly awaiting your arrival. Venture to the easternmost island of the Spanish archipelago and discover this scenic hot spot. With the help of artist and architect Cesar Manrique, Lanzarote’s landscape has integrated the natural beauty of the island with organic building designs.
Kick-start your travels at the Cesar Manrique Foundation, which was once the home of the famous architect. You’ll come across rooms that are built into caves created by a volcano eruption long ago. To see more of Manrique’s artistic work, head to the Jardin de Cactus, which features more than 10,000 plants, and then relish the majestic views from the Mirador del Rio. Jameos del Agua is another fascinating attraction, where you can climb down the staircase into caves with restaurants and a concert venue.
Want to see more of the island’s captivating scenery? Tour the fire mountains at Timanfaya National Park and marvel at the flames rising from the center of the earth, or simply bask on the pristine shores of Playa del Carmen. If you’d prefer to make a splash, head to the rock pools at Punta Mujeres and go on a snorkeling excursion around the cove. To top it all off, round out your adventures with a jaunt to the charming village of Yaiza, a 17th-century town, and soak up the touristy area at Puerto del Carmen.
Come to this slice of paradise for the beaches and Manrique’s contributions. Whatever you decide to do during your stay, take a peek at our Lanzarote travel guide for the inside scoop on this inviting destination.
