The red mountains – Lanzarote
As one of the seven islands of Canary Islands, Lanzarote is the fourth largest and the most eastern one. It was born like its other sisters and brothers out of volcano eruptions 35 million years ago. The name of the island in its native language Titerro(y)gatra means ‘the red mountain’. According to the theory of continental drift by Alfred Wegener who explored the island in 1912, Lanzarote with other islands nearby was the result of the breakup of the African and the American continental plates.
The reason why Lanzarole can be a perfect tourist destination is largely due to its temperate climate. During the daytime, the average temperature on the island is ranging from 21°C to 29°C. This island enjoy circa 2500 hours sunshine annually. With a location near the Sahara desert, the climate of the island is also been influenced, therefore, sometimes people call the climate of the island as semi-desert climate which is dry with rare rains. On the island, there is more than 300 days sunshine but only around 16 rainy days which are usually happened during the months from December to February.
If you think that Lanzarole is a place only with beaches and basking in the sunshine, you could not be more wrong. There are other attractions in Lanzarole waiting for you to explore.
The Timanfaya National Park is one of the most popular national parks in Spain and the most visited attraction on the island. It is considered as the only closet to the Moons surface which you can find on the earth. In order to protect this land of precious ecological value, it was declared as a national park under the Decree of August 9th, 1974, which was confirmed by law in 1981. Each year there are around 900,000 visitors coming and exploring such surreal landscapes.
This natural wonder was created by the most recent volcanic eruptions took place in 1930s, which last almost 6 years, between the year of 1730 and 1736. The same thing happed in 1824 which disrupted the once most fertile land and the local people there have to leave to start a new life somewhere else.
Today the whole park occupies an area of 51.07 km² in the south west which is quite dominant on this small island. The island was born from the eruption which doomed that the life on this island will be profoundly influenced by it in response. For example, except tourism, the local economy is about agriculture. Besides, from the works of the Lanzarote born artist César Manrique, you can also tell the colors and textures of f the Timanfaya region. Â
Hiring a car in Lanzarote is obviously advantageous not only because it is cheap but it allows you to explore this island with freedom and ease. Car rental companies like Autos Famara, Hertz, Plus Car, Record Rent A Car, Rent a Car Anthon, and Autos Feber will take care of your need.

Perfect Summer Holidays on the island of Lanzarote
There are a select few holiday destinations that you can guarantee will be fully booked with British tourists all seeking out the sunny weather and among these destinations there’s Lanzarote. Lanzarote is one of the most popular of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Every year British tourists as well as tourists from other European countries flock to the island to enjoy the perfect beaches, plentiful restaurants and thriving tourist trade in general whether you are looking for a package holidays or even all inclusive holidays
.
The island is perfect for the beach resort holiday that many UK families of all ages search for. One interesting feature of Lanzarote’s beaches that sets it apart from others is their black sand beaches. Whilst they are rare they come as a result of volcanic eruptions which leave the trademark black sands. This shouldn’t worry you though as the majority of Lanzarote’s many beaches are of the white or golden sand variety.
Many of these beaches are accredited with the blue flag making them perfectly safe for families to spend a few days lounging on or swimming in the ocean. They also have all the features you’d expect and need at the beach such as sun loungers, toilets and parasols.
There are many beaches so you shouldn’t end up cramming on to a beach that is packed with other like-minded tourists; the southern coast is particularly popular due to the warmer climate even during winter months. The North Eastern coast can be popular with windsurfers and kite surfers due to the winds that are stronger there.
There are plenty of restaurants and hotels in the major resort areas but there are plenty of attractions away from the beach crowd if that is what you want if only for a day. The island’s capital Arrecife has a much more modern and metropolitan feel to it, a lot of development is happening in the port based city and over half of the island’s residents live in the area.
The nearby town of Teguise has a rich history from the age of sea faring pirates and used to be the island’s capital city with two castles overlooking the two cities that harkens back to the time when the island was home to an impressive fleet defending the island from pirate attacks.
The island of Lanzarote has something for everyone and it’s clear to see why the island is still so popular to his day so if you are looking for a place to go next year then holidays to Lanzarote could be right up your street.
