Lanzarote is an island of extreme and unusual beauty with its rugged landscapes of jagged black volcanoes, which contrasts strongly with the wide sandy beaches and the sleepy green valleys of the northern part of the island.
Opportunities for outdoor activities abound, including watersports, golf, walking and cycling routes. Canaries cuisine is excellent and local wine well worth a try. Why not take a day trip over to Fuerteventura, this is easily done by ferry from Playa Blanca.
