Few holidaymakers realise that Lanzarote has more to offer than
just beaches and sunshine. This fascinating island is truly
extraordinary. Its fate was decided some two and one-half
centuries ago, when the largest volcanic eruption in recorded
history took place, leaving a strange and alluring countryside
in its wake - a landscape littered with volcanoes and dark
streams of jagged lava. This is the backdrop to nearly every
scene on the island, and intriguing sights abound - none more so
than the 'Fire Mountains'. There is no better place in the
Canary Islands for just strolling. No doubt 'serious' walkers
will find other islands more challenging, but ramblers will be
in their element on Lanzarote. Each of the walks in this book
takes you to a different corner of the island and shows you a
scenically-different outlook. But if walking is not your
favourite pastime, then do rent a vehicle of sorts and explore
on wheels. It includes a day-trip to the neighbouring island of
Fuerteventura. |
