Lanzarote for people with reduced mobility
This island, close to Morocco, offers a unique natural diversity and has everything required to receive tourists with motor disabilities. On the programme: volcanoes, lava fields, turquoise water beaches, whitewalled villages, breathtaking views, atypical vineyards and a sea-oriented gastronomy! The island with 300 craters has a very arid landscape caused by eruptions that have covered most of it. A change of scenery guaranteed!
Born from the eruptions that took place from 1730 to 1736, the Timanfaya National Park is one of the wonders of the island. This volcanic episode, which profoundly altered the landscape, is one of the largest the earth has ever known. The lack of vegetation, the impressive craters, the endless fields of lava and its unique landscapes will not disappoint you.
But there is more to Lanzarote than just the national park! Enjoy the views of the La Graciosa island from the miradors, admire the pastelcoloured Janubio salinas, get up close to the maroon-red face of the Montaña Colorada or watch the waves crashing over the sea caves at Los Hervideros…
Nature and beautiful beaches are not the only attractions of the volcanic island. A good example is the beautiful town of Teguise with its white walls. Don’t miss Arrecife and the Charco de San Ginés, El Golfo and its narrow streets, Caleta de Famara and its ideal promenade to watch the sunset.
Césare Manrique (painter, architect, sculptor and environmentalist) has worked all his life to protect the heritage and nature of his native island. His achievements include the Museo del Campesino (Farmer Monument), the Mirador del Rio and the Cactus Garden, which houses more than 450 species of cactus from all >ve continents. This place is a real favourite.
The local gastronomy is delicious, obviously derived from Spanish cuisine with in`uences from the African continent and Latin America. Come and enjoy a variety of tapas, fresh >sh and seafood, and meat stews that Canarians are very fond of. Finally, try the mojo rojo and verde, which are sauces made from red and green peppers.
The vineyards of La Geria, the wine valley of Lanzarote, have developed a unique way of growing vines in this hostile environment. The vines are placed in zocos: basins surrounded by low arc-shaped walls, which retain the dew and protect the vines from the trade winds. This unusual terroir gives the wine a unique taste.
Like the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote has a subtropical climate. This is characterised by long, hot summers and mild, rather dry winters. With temperatures between 13 and 30°C, this destination can be visited all year round. Many tourists come here in search of sunshine in winter!
