Lanzarote has a certain visual and geological appeal that is rare in the rest of the country. UNESCO has declared the whole island a Biosphere Reserve, within which is the fantastically captivating Parque Nacional de Timanfaya. In driving around the island, take note of the many structures designed by the late architect and island native César Manrique. On a drive to arguably the islands most attractive village, Haría, make a detour to reach the weird volcanic caves of the Jameos del Agua, flooded with sea water and retrofitted by Manrique as a concert auditorium with a restaurant, pool and disco; nearby is the Cueva de Los Verdes, with an entrance designed by Manrique and tour guides on hand to lead through its lit caverns. In the south of the island, the emerald waters of the El Golfo lagoon sided by sheer cliffs warrant a visit. Parque Nacional de Timanfaya, Spains most forbidding national park, has 36 volcanoes within it and has been the scene of many science fiction movies. Every detail is here for the traveler - where to stay, where to eat, entertainment, activities of all kinds, from hiking to canoeing, concerts to festivals. An extensive section on what you need to know when traveling to Spain in general, plus a language and Spanish vocabulary chapter is included.
