Lanzarote, Spain travel guide
Hundreds of thousands of tourists fly to the Canary Isle of Lanzarote each year through Lanzarote Airport. Located 5 km southwest of Arrecife, the island's capital. You can get around the island from the airport with a Lanzarote Airport car hire.
The Spanish island of Lanzarote is the easternmost of the Canary Islands, approximately 125 km off the coast of Africa and 1,000 km from the Iberian Peninsula. It is the fourth largest of the islands. In addition to charter flights that serve Lanzarote from Northern Europe, the airport also offers flights to some of the other Canary Islands.
The island suffered volcanic eruptions in 1730-1736, covering a quarter of the island's surface, destroying its most fertile farmland and eleven villages. Today the entire island is protected, and was declared a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1993. Explore everything this wild volcanic island has to offer with a car hire Lanzarote Airport.
