Lanzarote: The Magic Island

There are places in the world that are special.

Lanzarote has something different that goes beyond what can be found in any sun and beach destination. An island where nature and art go hand in hand, a place where its people feel and live the commitment and pride of belonging to it, where the food tastes of the sea and the countryside, an island whose essence leaves a mark. Welcome to the Lanzarote Effect. You will often hear that it is as if you have been transported to another universe, where you can visit places that you can only access in dreams.

The preservation of cultural heritage is rooted in the history of Lanzarote and its people, making it a place that seems destined for dreams. In Lanzarote, the lifestyle has adapted to the volcanic conditions of the terrain, and the possibilities that the ash fields have for agriculture have been taken advantage of. Its vineyards emerge from large craters in the earth and form a characteristic lunar landscape, which together with the volcanoes and the sea, attest to the island's deep commitment to strict environmental development codes.
