Information about Lanzarote (Arrecife)
Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands off the coast of West Africa and under the domination of Spain, is famous for its always warm climate, beaches and volcanic landscapes. The rocks of the Timanfaya National Park originated from the volcanic eruption around 1730. The Cueva de los Verdes caves were instead created by an underground lava river. On the east coast, the resort of Puerto del Carmen has white houses, beaches and diving centers.
