Wherever your travels have taken you in this world, you're guaranteed not to have seen anywhere like Lanzarote. It's often referred to as the Land of a Thousand Volcanoes, of which there are in reality about 300. This ancient volcanic Island landscape has been likened to a moonscape, which is one of many reasons it is one not to be missed. Additionally, while you are here don't forget to tour the Mountains of Fire.

For a quiet family holiday or couples seeking a romantic location, try an exclusive Playa Blanca hotel on the South coast. On the East coast more lively areas exist. The perfect choices are the very popular Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise. The capital city of Arrecife also has a lot to offer.

Food and Drink

As you are surrounded by the North Atlantic you are guaranteed some great, fresh seafood dishes here. As you are on a Spanish island, Spanish food is in abundance. Tapas and paella are to be expected and enjoy in the majority of places. Restaurants here try to appeal to everyone. So, you will also find English dishes are easily available. Other flavours of European cooking, like Italian and French are also worth seeking out, if you like to vary you menu. There are also a number of fast food and tourist trap cafes about. The tip I am really trying to give you here is, make sure you see many happy customers inside before you sit down. An empty restaurant is empty for a reason.

Wines and beers from around the world are available at bars and clubs open from early until late. It is an island in the sun, you would not expect any less. However, checking out the locally made wine, made with local grapes grown in the volcanic soils is a unique experience. One I would recommend to any and all at least once.

Dromedary Rides in the Mountains of Fire

The Montanas del Fuego, or Fire Mountains, are a spectacular site. However, they are not just for looking at. Great stories come back from families and couples, of the camel rides through Timanfaya National Park. This park is now protected by Unesco as it is a such unique environment. Yet you can still climb right to the top of one of the volcanoes. just to put you mind at rest, there hasn't been an eruption on the island since 1736.
