Lanzarote Overview
Like the rest of the Canaries, the island of Lanzarote was formed over 15 million years ago by a massive volcanic blast. And it's a good thing that dramatic event once happened as now we have the beautiful beaches and mountains to enjoy for ourselves! Being a volcanic island, the beaches here are originally black and you'll still find some in this condition. However, to brighten things up a bit, many of the major resorts have light golden sand specially shipped in from the Sahara! Lanzarote offers a good mix of unspoilt scenery and built-up beach towns. For example, on just this small island you can see stunning lakes, National Parks with thermal geysers and medieval castles as well as more modern attractions such as casinos, zoos and golf courses.
