Spain (Lanzarote - Canary Islands): Volcano Island's Route, tailor-made by car

Discover this stunning island on a fascinating road trip. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Lanzarote masterfully harmonises bustling tourist resorts with quaint whitewashed houses, unspoilt areas, spectacular beaches lapped by emerald waters, and movie-worthy landscapes portrayed in films such as 'One Million Years B.C' and 'In the Heart of the Sea'. The island is a whim of nature, gracefully shaped by a volcanic past and respected by the influence of humankind. Today it's impossible to imagine Lanzarote without the creative genius of the world-renowned César Manrique. Life in the so-called Land of Fire is ever so laid-back, oblivious to tedious everyday problems. Particular highlights include the lunar landscape of the Timanfaya National Park, the Jameos del Agua volcanic caves, the Cueva de los Verdes volcanic tube, and the Mirador del Río viewpoint, to name just a few. And foodies will love the outstanding cuisine, washed down by the wonderful wines produced in Lanzarote. Land of history and tradition, artists flock here in search of lost inspiration. Of course, you always run the risk of wanting to end up staying, as Omar Sharif and José Saramago did. You'll also get to enjoy some amazing experiences, such as sailing over to the nearby island of La Graciosa or riding a camel through the so-called Fire Mountains. Lanzarote is also blessed with an outstanding climate that has earned it the nickname of the island of eternal spring. Get ready to enjoy the open road!
