Tourist Guide Lanzarote
Lanzarote is the easternmost region of the Canary Islands, Spain. Situated in the Atlantic Ocean, the island is only 60 miles from the African coast. With a population of around 125,000 inhabitants, Lanzarote is also known as the ‘Island of 100 Volcanoes’.
The island has a mild dry climate with light winds and very little rain. The region enjoys warm temperatures throughout the year, making it a year-long tourist destination. However, the island is prone to sandstorms.
Initially inhabited by the Guanches, the island witnessed a series of volcanic eruptions during the seventeenth century, which led to the formation of thirty two new volcanoes.
Folklore music and Lucha Canaria, a form of wrestling, are main elements of the culture. Tourism is the main source of economy. Fishing and agriculture are also prominent.
