Experience the Warmth of The Canary Island of Lanzarote
By Advisor. Filed in Florida |
Lanzarote is a popular holiday island, located in the Canaries. Which are the seven strong Spanish owned island group situated off the coast of West Africa. On the same line of longitude as parts of Mexico and the Bahamas. Enabling visitors to enjoy great weather whatever the time of the year. This clement climate has helped to establish the Canaries as one of the most visited destinations in Spain. And during the course of 2008 alone over 1.5 million foreign tourists enjoyed holidays in Lanzarote – the fourth largest and most easterly island in the group.
So lets have a glimpse of the island and find out why family holidays in Lanzarote never fails to be such a popular choice and choosing one of the many Lanzarote holiday villas that the island offers is becoming an increasingly popular private accommodation choice for holiday makers and tourists.
Lanzarote is very different from the other islands in the Canaries. As they are all greener and more lush, whilst Lanzarote is dry and barren. Which can be attributed to the fact that Lanzarote experiences very tiny in the way of rainfall and has a very arid terrain created by volcanic eruptions over 250 years ago.
This volcanic region – called Timanfaya – was declared a national park back in 1974 – and dominates the island’s interior. It’s also the most popular sight on Lanzarote thanks to its amazing lunar like scenery. Which in the past has earned the region a number of starring roles in major movie productions. Most recently Broken Embraces starring Penelope Cruz, the latest release from Spanish director Pedro Almodovar.
