Bathed in year-round sunshine, Lanzarote is an island of extraordinary moon-like landscapes. Pockmarked by hundreds of extinct volcanoes, it is best seen from the awe inspiring slopes of Fire Mountain in the Timanfays National Park, where the lava has solidified into fantastic shapes. The volcanic past has created the red, black and white sands of the fine coastline. See where and how grapes, tomatoes and cacti (for cochineal) grow in scooped out hollows to catch the moisture and where many famous films have been located.
