LANZAROTE GOLF

The Fire Island

The Canary Islands´ recorded history begins in Lanzarote. It was from this stepping-stone European invaders of the 14th Century conquered the Canary archipelago for colonisation.

The island’s capital, Arrecife, is its administrative and commercial centre, and home to half its population of nearly 100,000. Five minutes from the capital is an international airport, with daily flights to the other islands of the archipelago, the Spanish mainland and major cities of Europe.

World Reserve of the Biosphere. The visual force with which the contrasts of Lanzarote strikes the visitor is backed up strongly by the dawning to the senses that just below the island’s crust lies immense power to which the three hundred extinct volcanoes on the island testify. But for all its turbulent upheavals that have left a moon-like terrain the island’s natural red soil and golden beaches have survived and are very much evident. Agriculture and fishing were Lanzarote’s main occupation and means of subsistence, but these have both lost ground to the tourist sector, which has developed facilities and services of the highest quality.

The intense work that has gone on to preserve the island’s culture and folklore and conservation of its castles, fortifications, hermitages, churches, mansions and traditional white houses in their natural setting has let to Lanzarote being declared by UNESCO a World Reserve of the Biosphere.

Irresistible Contrasts

Lanzarote’s fame and future lie with its contrasts, for the blending of them, like its startling natural colours of black lava, golden sands and emerald green sea, makes the island irresistible.
