Lanzarote is one of the main tourist islands in the Canary Islands. It offers year round heat due to it being close to the west coast of Africa.Blowing from the Sahara desert, the locals call the Saharan Winds. All this couples with the exceptional beaches and warm seas makes it obvious why Lanzarote holidays are so popular.Lanzarote is a popular holiday destination which people return to year after.Here there are some highlights based on my experience of Lanzarote.
Cueva de los Verdes
As a volcanic island, Lanzarote was created over 3000 years ago through a volcanic eruption.You will see the colour of the walls are an amazing green colour, which is why its been named Cueva de los Verdes which can be translated to Green Caves.While investigating the caves you will be amazed at the waters calmness. It is only on breaking the water that you can see this deception.
Jameos del Agua
Located quite near to Cueva de los Verdes is a nice surprise. {Jameos del Agua is a volcanic forms cave~Jameos del Agua {is a volcanic formed cave}~is a beautiful cave formed because of the eruption}.Jameo describes a cave with a broken roof. This complex looks completely tropical, with its white sand, turquoise pools and palm trees it is a must to visit and relax here.
The Timanfaya Park
Timanfaya National Park amounts to 51sq kilometres of volcanic soil~The Timanfaya Park {is popular for its volcanicsoil and lunar landscape}~{is famous for its amazing lunar landscape and volcanic soil}~is famous for the amazing views of lunar landscape and volcanic rock}.The views are amazing and are absolutely breathtaking, you will keep this memory with you forever.Visiting the park is an amazing experience.On boarding these busses you entrust the driver with your life, the roads are only just wide enough for the bus. They weave you around craters up hills and take you to some of the best views that the park has to offer.
You will be lucky enough to have a meal cooked by volcanic heat
One of the most “have to be there to believe it” moments in Lanzarote happens at one of final stopping points on the coach tours, a stop off at the Restaurant el Diablo.The guides who show you the volcano like to show you how you can see the volcano is still active.To do this, you could try it in three ways. There is a natural cavity in the floor that goes down a fair way; the first experiment you see is the guide placing some straw into the cavity. After what feels like a few seconds the straw turns to flames, all this with the natural heat that is there just a few feet below us. At the next experiment you see a tube in the ground again it only goes down a few feet.They will dramatically pour some cold water and wait until only 3 seconds late steam and water shoots out, often making all the tourists jump.
The large hole in the floor outside the restaurant is hot enough to naturally cook food for the restaurant.When you look down you can feel the heat.As the floor here is really hot you need to move fast, you will be able to feel the soles of your shoes melting. Then you finally sit down for your set menu while watching the sun set over the view of the lava fields.Lanzarote promises to give you a memorable holiday suitable for families, couples and friends.
