LANZAROTE | SPAIN
The Island of Volcanoes
Lanzarote is a beautiful volcanic island painted in shades of brown, red, and black. 🌋. It’s located in the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago 1000 kilometres south of mainland Spain and 140 km west of the African coast. It emerged from the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean around 20 million years ago.
Despite its small size (62 km from north to south and 21 from east to west), Lanzarote is home to a lot of surprises: more than 300 volcanoes, most of which are extinct or inactive; vineyards that cover endless fields of grey volcanic ash; the longest lava tube in the world (the Atlantic tunnel); a bizarre green lake; a unique species albino crab; one of the biggest and most famous surfable waves in Europe (El Quemao); and Martian landscapes that have been the background of many films and movies, and have even helped NASA prepare for missions to the moon and Mars 👨🚀. We already have more than enough reasons to want to visit Lanzarote and we haven’t even mentioned the word “diving”.
