DISCOVER THE LANZAROTE EFFECT

The Lanzarote Effect extends into the integration of nature, art and culture. César Manrique, a Lanzarote-born artist, spearheaded the development of art and culture centers across the island that blend into their natural settings. Visitors understand that in Lanzarote, nature is art and art is nature.

"SOME PLACES IN THE WORLD ARE SPECIAL"

Lanzarote is different than other sun and sea destinations. It’s an island where nature and art prevail. A place where the people are as warm as they are active and proud. Where the food tastes of the sea and the earth. Where the essence of the island leaves a mark on your soul long after you depart.

WHY LANZAROTE

Lanzarote offers a wide range of possibilities for you to make the most of your visit: savour its flavours as you wander around the local markets, dance to the rhythm of its music and enjoy its endless leisure and outdoor activities, all in the midst of volcanic and oceanic nature.

ART AND CULTURE AS A WAY OF LIFE

Conservation and cultural heritage are embedded in the history of Lanzarote and its people. This is a destination that feels like it was reserved for your dreams. The island’s life has adapted and thrived despite a harsh volcanic landscape, which has led to miles of ash fields re-imagined as water conservation systems for agriculture. Vineyards thriving out of deep holes in the ground. Stunning views of volcanoes and sea anywhere you stand, all because of a deep commitment to strict development codes on the island.

STUNNING BEACHES

Lanzarote’s beaches invite the visitor to enjoy the sea that laps the island’s shores, particularly since the average annual water temperature is around 19.5º C. The sea surrounding Lanzarote, generally calm and welcoming, can be enjoyed from the numerous beaches that are scattered along the coastline. Apart from the well-known pleasures of sun and sand, the water also offers fantastic opportunities for the enjoyment of water sports and boat trips, due to the excellent weather conditions present all year round, the long hours of sunshine and the warm average temperature of the sea water.

AN UNMATCHED CUISINE

The gastronomy of Lanzarote stands out for its simplicity, as the ingredients are more important than the processes, but the results are very tasty. Excellent virgin olive oil, fresh fish and delightful meat, among others, have their place on Lanzarote’s tables. The great importance of its cheeses are joined by its stews, the most typical way of consuming vegetables.

WINES FROM ANOTHER WORLD

Lanzarote is living wine, a leisurely melody from a noble legacy that grows, in this dry subtropical climate, thanks to the ingenuity of previous generations. People made the volcanic sands their ally in order to wring every last drop of water from an adverse climate, and the growers have been strengthened by their permanent struggle with the scarce rainfall, until they managed to decipher the secrets of the cool air that arrives with nightfall. The fertile layer of soil into which the established and renewed vine roots sink is hidden, in some cases up to ten metres deep.

AN OPTIMAL ALL YEAR ROUND CLIMATE

Thanks to its geographical situation, Lanzarote possesses a warm climate throughout the entire year, with an average annual temperature of about 21ºC. As the easternmost of the Canary Islands, and the one closest to the African continent, in Lanzarote there is scarce rainfall and the sun shines for practically the whole year. This privileged climate has turned it into one of the most popular sun destinations for holidays.
