Canary Islands - Lanzarote - Playa de la Concha - Caribbean feel - Krista photo
1. Moonlike, volcanic landscape, the Fire Mountains in the Timanfaya National Park, strict environmental protection policies – in a nutshell, Lanzarote something of an eco-destination
No Trespassing (not even barefoot...) - Krista photo
2. One of our best experiences: Mirador del Rio is a must-see!

3. The Playa Blanca vacation town, with its gorgeous coastal promenade and beautiful yacht harbour

4. Papagayo beach, El Cotillo beach and lagoons, Playa de Cofete (Morro del Jable)
5. Easy to discover the island with a rental car - the orientation signs are very practically placed
6. The ingenious underground part of the Fondación César Manrique home
7. We just went from one to the other so we can compare: Lanzarote is more beautiful and cleaner than Fuerteventura and offers more interesting cultural and natural sights
8. El Golfo, a green lagoon
9. No crowds, no high-rise buildings, almost no giant advertisement billboards
10. Puerto del Carmen’s port area
11. The fascinating life story of César Manrique, the genius who dreamt up the concept for the island’s development
1. It is often windy and the big waves make it difficult to swim
2. Compared to Gran Canaria and Tenerife, Lanzarote does not have many green natural landscapes

3. Beaches are better, more beautiful on Fuerteventura

4. The moonlike landscape becomes dull after a while
5. The mostly black or dark sand beaches are not really appealing
6. Not an ideal destination for families with small kids or teenagers
7. The historical part of Arrecife is nice, but nothing interesting beyond it
8. Cueva de los Verdes (a cave) is not a particularly interesting attraction when you compare it to other similar ones elsewhere
9. The useless, gloomy beach in front of our hotel, the Sandos Papagayo
10. Treacherous weather – easy to get sunburnt without noticing
