Lanzarote is the easternmost island in the Canary Island group. Located in the Atlantic only 79 miles from the African shore, this beautiful Spanish island paradise is the perfect place to go for a holiday.
Lanzarote holidays can be filled with beach going activities, cave exploration or visiting the Timanfaya volcanic national park. There are many museums to explore as well as nature spots such as the Guinate Tropical Park and Penguin Paradise.
Lanzarote is the perfect place to stay if you want to go island hopping. Travel between each of the Canary Islands is easy and you can extend your vacation to include Tenerife, the largest of the island chain.
Tenerife holidays can include visits to their volcanic parks, lounging on the beautiful beaches or enjoying the many fine shops and restaurants on the island. As the largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife has many tourist oriented areas that allow the visitor to enjoy the luxuries of life.
Incredible resorts that offer spa treatments located on the pristine beaches are just one of the amenities you will find here. Beautiful botanical gardens and historical sites make nice day trips in and around the area.
The beaches are incredible with nearly year round beautiful weather. Visitors to Lanzarote and Tenerife will be pleased with the weather whenever they visit the area.
When in Tenerife you must make time to visit the Black Pyramids. These step pyramids are historically significant and have only begun to be understood. At first it was believed they were not actually pyramids but piles of rock left by local farmers. However, archeological investigations have found that this is probably a burial site for the early inhabitants of the island and that both pyramids are aligned with the summer and winter solstice. There are many exhibits and other areas of interest in the Black Pyramid Park.
