What to see in Lanzarote: volcanoes, wine and César Manrique

Lanzarote is an island shaped by fire and by one man, the artist César Manrique. Here are the places that best tell its story.

Timanfaya National Park

The great eruptions of the 18th century covered a large part of the island with lava and volcanic cones. Today the Timanfaya National Park is a landscape of reds, ochres and blacks, visited along routes regulated to protect it.

La Geria and its wines

In the centre of the island, vines grow in hollows dug in the black volcanic ash and protected by small stone walls. The result is a unique landscape and a local wine tradition, with Malvasía as the best-known grape.

The works of César Manrique

Manrique turned lava tubes and volcanic spaces into works of art integrated with nature. Jameos del Agua and the Cueva de los Verdes, both in the north of the island, are part of the same volcanic tunnel.
