Lanzarote's African influence is evident, but it was a European — Lancelotto Malocello from Genoa — who "discovered" the island in the 14th century.

And let's not forget the local specialities, where Spanish and African cuisine blend seamlessly to create delicious and unique dishes.
On the island, you can opt to unwind in tranquil resorts or seek adventure in Lanzarote's breathtaking natural landscapes. Attractions such as the Atlántida lava tunnel, Cueva de los Verdes, and Jameos del Agua offer fascinating expeditions deep into the Earth. Prepare to be enchanted by the charm of this remarkable island.
