Our tips for Lanzarote
On Lanzarote you drive through black lava fields where almost nothing grows, and then a whitewashed village or a César Manrique creation pops up out of nowhere. We also saw the island from above, on a tandem paragliding flight near Tenezar in the west. Torn between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura? Our comparison will help you choose, and you'll find our favourite things to do on the island here too.
