Visiting The Canary Islands – Lanzarote Exposed
You may have heard of the Canary Islands before as this historic group of islands has helped forge the exploration of the new world and beyond for centuries before modern travel was even conceived. Also the islands feature in many legends and are even thought to be the lost home of Atlantis. But if you have not been on holiday to any of the Canary Islands, then you are in for a pleasant surprise.
Tenerife is the biggest of the islands and has the biggest attraction too, Literally? The island is home to the world’s third largest volcano which dominates the islands from every point of the compass. Visitors to the island simply should not miss the opportunity to visit Mount Teide while they are here even if they only planned to laze on the beaches.
Next on out whistle stop tour is the neighbouring island of Gran Canaria and whilst it may be smaller than it larger contemporary, it can boast the canaries largest city which is Las Palmas home to spectacular carnivals and street parties (known as verbenas del mogollon) in the first two months of the year. Also if you are planning on plenty of nightlife check out Playa del Ingles where it’s party party, party time with a plethora of bars and nightclubs to keep you going all night long.
But for a true taste of the real Canary Islands then the destination of choice just has to be Lanzarote, which in contrast to the other islands has managed to retain the typical Canarian character and charm of the Canary Islands. This is principally due to one man (Cesar Manrique) who has carved out the development of the island literally, and managed during his lifetime to ensure that tourist developments did not become a carbuncle on the very fabric of the island.
