The island's name comes from an Italian explorer named Lancelotto and was conquered by Bethencourt, who was an expedition under the command of the kings of Castile.
At six in the evening departure from Los Rodeos on Tenerife and Lanzarote arrived at sunset.

The propeller plane was traveling at less height than the reaction but did not give much visibility to go almost always in the clouds.
These flights between the islands is done by small companies with mostly propeller planes, but they work fine and serve a lot of tourism traffic coming to these islands.
Lanzarote is the easternmost of all and its climate is somewhat influenced by the nearby Africa.
Its climate is drier than the other islands because the trade winds do not come with the same intensity as the others, where the northern slope of the moisture reaching sea \u200b\u200bproduces a luxuriant vegetation, being here more scanty and sparse.
At the foot of the peaks surrounding the houses are crowded field that use the space between the sea and the mountains.
Built on an islet to blend with the environment, was designed by the great promoter of this island Cesar Manrique, which I will discuss later.
on a well of no more than four meters have mounted a rack where they managed all kinds of roasts and other kitchen appliances, only with volcanic heat that reaches four degrees.
Those who spend glasses we recommend not peer into the well, if we are not deformed by heat.
Near this cave is the volcano on La Corona to six hundred meters. Its last eruption two centuries ago buried under the lava seven villages in the environment, without causing human victims to give earlier signals that prevented its effect.
The guide showed us where the limits reached by the lava, differentiated by color and glossy black studded plant green begin to colonize the barren lava.
The river's name seemed strange because here there is none, and the guide explained that the small stretch of sea separating the two islands can be considered as a river. From the viewpoint I took several photos.
To save costs
César Manrique Foundation, to complete his impressive work, he gave shortly before his death in a car accident in 1992, the house where he lived, which has a museum and foundation.
How quickly we forget the work of these great men, which in this case that the UN was able to appoint to this island Biosphere Reserve in 1983 and became an international tourism selective focus!

As extraordinary thing this area is very fertile and cultivated small plots potato fries there optimal call quality. As freezes here is not scheduled to have his crop production throughout the year. A class called color or black have a very high price for being in this area high in the Peruvian Andes where only gives this kind of potatoes .
are tiny and low production, but prices are up to ten euros a kilo and only use them in the great festivals and events.
There is another more common type of potatoes are made with typical Canarian dish called "wrinkled potatoes" accompanying the "mojo picon" which is a red sauce with a slightly spicy.
Lanzarote is the newest of all the Canaries since most of the eruptions that were formed between 1626 and 1730.
The proof of this we had an excursion we made to the "Parque Nacional de Timanfaya" where volcanic heat is almost at ground level. In a place marked on the ground have a circle that resembles the mouth of a volcano, where gravel retains a warmth that can not hold hands.

About this into a small hole no more than two meters depth cuddle dry bushes immediately burst into flames.
spectacular Another test is performed with fixed metal tubes in the land where the first cast half bucket of water, soon throw the other half which produced steam cap and leaves all blown up to several meters.
But where they have a practical application of this heat is a modern inn called the Devil Restaurant . At the door has an effigy of himself and is just holding their horns tradition and take a picture.

have designed this park in the call path of volcanoes, most notably the Santa Catalina and the Yahasa and eight more are gathered in groups, all with signs of delayed eruption.
"The Cave of the Greens" is an air bubble was left between the lava have found is seven miles . César Manrique also realized that the holding of it would be an attraction good for tourism, conditioning and illuminating some two miles, making a spectacular run since the multitude of colors that has taken on cooling lava.
Near this cave is the volcano on La Corona to six hundred meters. Its last eruption two centuries ago buried under the lava seven villages in the environment, without causing human victims to give earlier signals that prevented its effect.
The guide showed us where the limits reached by the lava, differentiated by color and glossy black studded plant green begin to colonize the barren lava.
Then we went "to the viewpoint of the river" located on the headland north of the island and its high vantage point is the nearby "Isla Graciosa" with a small group of houses, church and a small harbor. 
The river's name seemed strange because here there is none, and the guide explained that the small stretch of sea separating the two islands can be considered as a river. From the viewpoint I took several photos.
"The water Jameos" located two hundred meters from the coast formed as the Cave of the Greens during an eruption Corona volcano. A tongue of salt water that connects with the sea below ground has been named to the grotto.
live in his background small blind albino crabs, scientists not explained as a crustacean can live here only three inches long, which by its nature is typical of the deep sea.
César Manrique formed caves, gardens, bars, restaurants and a large cave to concert with auditorium sound admirable.
To save costs
bought an old wooden boat very economical with what they are built almost all their furniture.
also visited the Cactus Garden , where Manrique in a volcanic depression, brought together in 1420 cactus, mostly imported American. A whole is impressive both for its height as its rarity, you can see in several pictures I took.

The built in 1968 on five volcanic bubbles in it you can see his works, paintings, sculptures and drawings. It also Vicentina fireplace installed, which is crowned as a kind of decorative onion.
Thus ended his meritorious work in the island with more than twenty plays he directed. Memory is only at its foundation a picture not very large, and that the guide did not let us take pictures with flash because it says that deteriorates the picture. I could only take a picture of a projected video.
In view of this I asked the guide if he had any statue or monument to Manrique and I said no.
