Lanzarote
Volcanic Spanish island
Lanzarote is the easternmost of Spain's Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of northwestern Africa.
The volcanic island is known for its dramatic lava fields, black sand beaches, and the artistic influence of César Manrique, who shaped much of its architecture and landscape design.
We spent a week in Lanzarote exploring the Timanfaya National Park.
