Arrecife

Arrecife

Jan Moonen
The extraordinary light on the island of Lanzarote is undeniably one of the most startling features for the visitor. This is due in large part to the colors of the landscape caused by the various dark hues of the lava contrasting with the clarity of the sandy beaches. The climate, dry and sunny as corresponds to its easterly geographic position but with low hills, is responsible for the absence of green in the landscape, and the sparse vegetation on the island seems to grow miraculously out of nowhere, constituting botanical formations that are often very rare. One might think that this desert-like dryness would create an unfriendly landscape, but Lanzarote is just the contrary, the impression the visitor receives is of an inviting and enchanting land.

A chief attraction in Lanzarote is its extraordinary volcanic landscape with a multitude of remarkable places, including Timanfaya National Park, El Golfo, and Los Verdes caves, to which the superb, white sandy beaches must be added. Lanzarote is an example to the world of tourism sustained by its magnificent integration with the environment. The hotel infrastructure, although well-developed, has avoided agglomeration by adopting forms more in harmony with the landscape, including small housing developments and the use of traditional architecture.

The old capital of Lanzarote is Teguise. It is a charming little town and on sundays it has a great market. North of Teguise is the Mirador del Rio which offers excellent views over the Ocean and some small islands off the coast of Lanzarote.

The most popular tourist resort on the island is Puerto del Carmen. Although not very large in size, it has numerous restaurants, night spots, shops, and a nice beach. Costa Teguise, further north, assembles a group of select hotels, where we find the renowned Hotel Salinas, one of the most luxurious hotels in Europe. On the southern coast, Playa Blanca is a tourist center that has grown around a small fishing port. Nearby are the most stunning beaches on the island, the idyllic coves of Papagayo with white sand and crystal-clear waters, only accessible by dirt roads and preferably with a 4-wheel drive vehicle. The relative isolation of this succession of beaches has kept most of them unspoiled.

The Mirador del Rio offers a spectacular view over the Rio. Rio literally means river, but in this case it refers to a channel that separates Lanzarote from two smaller islands just off the coast. The views are breathtaking and the Mirador itself is a fantastic structure.

There is a small entrance feen to enter the mirador but the views are well worth it.

There are a few other Miradors that offer excellent views over the valleys and mountains as well.

Puerto del Carmen

Puerto del Carmen

If you've booked a flight and apartment this is where you will be staying. Puerto del Carmen is a 10 km long boulevard with hotels, English pubs, Italian pizzerias, apartment complexes and lots more fun.

Puerto del Carmen is a lot less ugly than other resorts because there are no high-rise buildings here. All buildings are in the same style which is supposed to reflect the traditional way of building on the island. We have to thank Cesar Manrique, a local architect, for this.

Teguise

Teguise is the old capital of Lanzarote. It is by far the most charming place on the island.

Lanzarote

Da Wikipedia, l'enciclopedia libera.

 

Lanzarote è l'isola più nord-orientale dell'arcipelago spagnolo delle Isole Canarie. Deve il suo nome a Lanzerotto Malocello, il navigatore genovese che per primo la scoprì nel 1312 e che la occupò per diverso tempo. La superficie è di 806 km2 (quarta isola dell'arcipelago), la popolazione è di circa 40.000 abitanti. Il principale centro dell'isola è Arrecife. Amministrativamente l'isola è compresa nella provincia di Las Palmas.

La principale attrattiva turistica dell'isola è il Parco Nazionale Timanfaya, situato nella parte occidentale e caratterizzato dal paesaggio vulcanico. Altre attrattive turistiche sono le grotte di Jameos del Agua e Cueva de los Verdes.

Lanzarote è stata nominata Riserva Mondiale della Biosfera dall'UNESCO, grazie anche all'impegno dell'architetto locale Cesar Manrique. Vicino a Lanzarote si trovano le isole minori di Graciosa, Alegranza e Montaña Clara.

 

[modifica] Comunicazioni

Sull'isola si trova l'aeroporto di Guacimeta presso Arrecife. Arrecife è anche il principale porto dell'isola, con traghetti per Puerto del Rosario (su Fuerteventura) e Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (su Gran Canaria). Esiste anche un collegamento tra Playa Blanca e Corralejo (su Fuerteventura).
