Canary Islands: Lanzarote
Canary Islands: Lanzarote
Lanzarote is the most volcanic of the Canary Islands. The last eruptions happened in the 19th century and you can see the results in the Timanfaya national park: huge lava fields and scores of volcanic cones. At some spots the soil is still hot. It's a blackened world, with red, orange and yellow notes of develish beauty. Outside the national park Lanzarote has a much milder charm. And because of strict construction laws the island isn't losing it.

'Watching the sunset.'
From Mirador del Rio, in the northeastern part of Lanzarote, you can see three smaller islands: Isla Graciosa close by, with one village, and the uninhabited Isla de Montaña Clara and Isla de Alegranza. It's a great spot for watching the sun set, but mind the wind. Photo Paul Smit.
