LanzarotePlinius once named Lanzarote - together with Fuerteventura - the Purple Islands. This was because of the tresses which seem to illume the volcanos in varying colours during all the seasons. Already to this early time the Canarian Archipelago was known as the Insulae Fortunatae - The Islands of Bliss. The ideas of the ancient world......Already the Greek writers and philosophers Herodotus, Plato and Plutarch described the garden of Hesperis, the land of fertility where fruits and flowers smell in the part of the Atlantic. And Homer spoke in the fourth hymn of his Odysee of a paradise place. (Source: Wikipedia) Volcanic ActivityLanzarote, the volcanic island, is highly impressing because of its mystic atmosphere. During summer it is mystical and almost a desert and during the winter months green and blossoming in all colours. It has a mild climate - the daily temperatures are 30° C in summer and 20° in winter. Water temperatures are between 18° and 22°C all the year through. So it is a wonderful holiday island all over the year. Discovering LanzaroteCaleta de Famara is an ideal starting point to see the whole island: La Geria, the vast winegrowing region in the south, the volcanic area Montanas del Fuego (Fire Mountains), the rocky massif of Risco de Famara situated more in the north or the little Chinijo Archipelago with the island La Graciosa as well as plenty wonderful villages are waiting to be discovered. |
