Attractions

Visit the Cesar Manrique Foundation to admire works by the world-famous artist as well as his private collection of other artists. The foundation resides in what was once Manrique's house, which has architectural features just as fascinating as the art inside it. Some of the more interesting features are the five lava bubbles that were turned into underground rooms when the house was built.

Activities

Check out El Golfo, a volcanic crater filled by underground seawater. It's a spectacular sight, with stunning deep-green water on a black-sand beach. Explore the national park of Timanfaya. This volcanic field has approximately 180 different plant species and is used as an authentic laboratory for biological research. Visit the Museum of Contemporary Art, located in the Castle of San José, a historic monument preserved by César Manrique.

Adventures

As an ecological paradise, Lanzarote is perfect for exploring. Its crystal-clear waters, scuba diving and snorkeling are phenomenal, as are the deep-sea fishing and surfing. Another advantage Lanzarote has is the wind itself. With steady trade winds all year round, it's one of the best windsurfing spots in the world. Or, if you'd rather stay on land, you can ride the beach by horseback, venture out on a bike trip or hit the golf course.

Currency

The Euro (EUR), the currency of the European Union, is the official currency of Spain.
