Lanzarote leisure

Cultural entertaintment has been structured by the Council of Lanzarote’s Centre for Art and Culture under seven indescribably attractive designs. A unit oof scenic, customary and natural landmarks whose visit is never disappointing.

In the north los jameos del agua and la cueva de los verdes unite unusual rough volcanic tracks with the most exquisite art, integrting colours textures, forms, animal species and plants, as genuine as they are surprising.

Continuing on our way and at the most northern end we shall find the Mirador del Ríos a privileged place allowing vast views over the ocean and the Chinijo Archipielago. Nature undoubtedly skilfully imprivised this balcony at the service of mankind.

The descent to the south, where the mild climate allows to cover one of our planet’s most astonishing journey is a must: the visit to the fire mountains, The national park timanfaya is a monument to the volcanic immensity from which the island surged. Surrounded by cones and dross, lava and ashes the traveller will discover the power of nature’s strength and inscrutability.

There still are places to visit, such as the essential encounter with the past of a people who converted a waste land into riches: we shall find it at the Casa del Campesino or at such unprecedented agricultural landscapes as el jardin de cactus or La Geria.

El castillo de San josé remote remains of a history of conquests, shelters in its halls and under its battlements pieces of modern art which will help us return to present time easily escaped from while touring the island of lanzarote
