Top attractions to visit in Lanzarote

August 18th, 2011 posted by easmgr

Lanzarote belongs to the Spanish Canary Islands in the eastern north Atlantic Ocean, close to the African continent. A high level of tourism from European countries generates a significant volume of economic activity for the island. The coastline is characterised by pristine beaches and turquoise sea, while the interior comprises of parched, desolate landscapes and dramatic mountain peaks (where trekkers may require asbestos compensation from the minerals) . There is a wide range of holiday resorts across the island, most of which are situated along the coast.

One of the most popular tourist attractions in the island is the Timanfaya National Park, which hosts an historic volcanic site that encompasses more than 20 percent of the island’s area. The park includes the Mountains of Fire (Montanas del Fuego), which boasts an impressive restaurant that offers an outstanding view of the entire park. The park’s Visitors'Centre also provides an audio and visual exhibition of the island’s history, including the origins of the volcano and recent volcanic activity in the area.

Meanwhile, for museum enthusiasts, the Whales and Dolphins Museum is an excellent place for a family excursion. It provides detailed information about the island’s aquatic wildlife and how wales and dolphins have evolved through time. The Agricola Museum also offers an insight into Lanzarote’s agricultural history and how life was for colonists and farmers. The Green’s Cave (otherwise known as the Cueva de los Verdes) provides a special guided tour of caverns and tunnels created by a river of lava deep underground. The tour costs just 8 Euros and usually runs from between 10am and 6pm.
