Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the easternmost and fourth largest of the Canary Islands.  It has a barren, treeless landscape.  It is a volcanic island which gives rise to some interesting shapes and vivid colours.  It has a very low annual rainfall making it susceptible to water shortages. Unlike some of the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote hasn't succumbed to the worst aspects of mass tourism.  You won't find many skyscrapers, billboards, overhead powerlines or any of the other garish monuments usually associated with tourist islands.  High on the list of sightseers is a trip to the magnificent Timanfaya , a spectacular volcanic national park.
