Lanzarote is of volcanic origin making it a fascinating place to visit. As such the National Timanfaya Park with its' amazing Fire Mountains just a half an hour journey up the LZ-2 and LZ-67 should be the first port of call. This spectacular multicoloured landscape is the result of the more than 30 volcanoes which erupted here almost 300 years ago.
If it´s a more traditional tourist retreat you´re after then look no further than the old fishing village of Puerto del Carmen with its' beautiful beaches and subtropical gardens. The route there follows the LZ-2 to the LZ-40 and finally the LZ-504.
For those who like to get back to nature however, there is a walkers paradise at the far northern point of the island in the form of the Isla Graciosa. This tiny little island which has no roads, only dirt tracks, and a few small restaurants, offers utter tranquillity and can be reached via ferries which live from Orzuca around 3 to 4 times a day. To get to Orzuca you follow the LZ-1, LZ-201 and then the LZ-204.
