Lanzarote Airport
About Lanzarote
Lanzarote is very different compared to the other
islands, but also to everything else on this planet. This landscape
seems to be of another world, and the inhabitants of the islands
use to say that God forgot of Lanzarote on the Seventh Day of
the Creation.
Lanzarote is volcanic, as the other islands of the
archipelago as well, but here volcanos have been active still
in 18th and 19th century. Parts of its surface are covered with
ashes and lava, making you feel that you were on the moon.
Lanzarote's inhabitants made a great effort to cultivate
this land, and today you find large plantations of fruits and
vegetables. Surprising is perhaps the region of Geria, with vineyards
between volcanic craters.
Not to forget about are also the works of great Canarian architect
and artist Cesar Manrique, adding more attractions to this unique
island.
