Timanfaya Volcano Park
The Volcano Park at Timanfya is Lanzarote´s most popular tourist attraction. Last year alone, nearly 900,000 people visited this unique lava scape. Home to a sea of colourful dormant volcanoes and spent cones. Following a route originally defined by the island born artist and architect Cesar Manrique.
Jameos Del Agua
Described by Hollywood movie legend Rita Heyworth as “The Eighth Wonder Of The World” the Jameos del Agua is certainly one of Lanzarote´s star attractions.
Cesar Manrique Foundation
The Cesar Manrique Foundation is based in the breathtaking home of the island born artist and architect. And gives a whole new meaning to the term housing bubble – as it was built around five volcanic vacuums in the surrounding lava flow.
Monumento Al Campesino
Until the advent of tourism back in the 1970´s Lanzarote was essentially a rural island and farming, of both the sea and the land, lay at the heart of the local economy.
The Cactus Garden
If you fancy a touch of prickly heat head for the Cactus Garden in the north of the island. Which is a celebration of the plant world´s spiniest species.
The Green Caves
One of the longest volcanic tunnels in the world, the Green Caves have been protecting locals for hundreds of years – and more recently – delighting visitors since it was opened to the public in 1964.
Museum of International and Contemporary Art
Lanzarote´s small but impressive Museum of International and Contemporary Art really does provide visitors with a feast of the senses.
Castles & Pirates
Lanzarote´s strategically important position as a staging post between the new world and the old made the island a target for pirate raids throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.
Museums
There´s a real abundance of museums on Lanzarote. Covering everything from island sea life through to wine making and emigration.
