Lanzarote is an island in the Canaries shaped by its volcanic past. Timanfaya National Park spreads across a large part of the island, showing black lava fields, craters, and colored rock formations. Volcanoes like El Cuervo, Montaña Colorada, and Caldera Blanca can be hiked. Underground caves such as Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua lead through lava tunnels formed thousands of years ago. Along the coast, rocks and hardened lava shape coves like Los Hervideros and El Golfo with its green lagoon. Beaches range from the protected bays of Papagayo with pale sand to the long stretch of Famara Beach backed by tall cliffs. In La Geria, vines grow in small hollows covered with volcanic ash, a farming method adapted to the dry conditions. The Cactus Garden near Guatiza displays hundreds of species in a former quarry. Museums like the César Manrique Foundation and LagOmar merge architecture with the landscape. Museo Atlántico sits underwater off Playa Blanca. Traditional sites include Santa Bárbara Castle and San Gabriel Castle, along with the Janubio Salt Flats where salt is still harvested today.
