Lying to the southwest of Spain off the northwest coast of Africa, the Canary Islands archipelago is made up of seven islands: Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Gomera, Hierro, Gran Canaria, La Palma and Tenerife. Each of the islands has distinct scenery, evoking beautiful landscapes from every corner of our planet.
En 1987 Lanzarote is the easternmost island in the Canarian archipelago, lying some 1,000 kilometers from the Spanish mainland and around 100 kilometers from the African continent. In 1987 the World Tourist Organization designated as one of the six universal models for sustained development, and in 1994 UNESCO declared the island a Biosphere Reserve.
Known as the Island of Volcanos, the island has one of the most unique landscapes to be found anywhere in the world.
In the eastern part of the island lies the tranquil region of Costa Teguise with its long sandy beaches of talcum-fine sand and turquoise waters. |
