ISLA GRASIOSA

Lanzarote, unlike it's sister islands, small is beautiful - no crowded high rise apartments or hotels. Island of contrasts - white sand - black ash - lush vegitation - unusual farming methods. All year round sunshine - relaxing
Great place for some winter sunshine.
Costa Tequise is a laid back resort while Puerto del Carmen is more lively. The so called strip in PDC is very touristy & a bit tacky but the old town is lovely with it's harbour & great bars serving great seafood.

Evidence of volcanic activitiy all around

Rocks,Rocks and more rocks..............Green pool created after volcanic erruption caused by mineral and salt deposits.

Puerto del Carmen

Lovely walk along the sea wall with great views of the sandy beaches

    Looks like a great place to visit an active volcano. And learn about cacti.

    Another nice page,Joan. Photos are lovely. What a shame you could not use that great blue pool!The cacti look fascinating-I collect them, so would love to see.

    I'd love to visit the Canary Islands but if it's really hot & humid, I'd have to sightsee in early morning or early evening!!

    I especially like to see that Cacti Garden. I wonder why I am fascinated with it. I should live in a desert, hehehe. I was laughing (LOL) with your warning on photos that end up with too many heads. That is true and it happened to me a couple of times.

    Hello Joan, many years ago we visited this island and were much impressed by the volcanic part.

    Would love to see the lunar landscape! Lets see if I'll still manage it this year!

    Great photos Joan, especially of that lunar landscape. I hadn't thought I would like to visit Lanzerote but you make it sound very tempting and not at all what I'd expected!

    Hi, Joan. Thanks for visiting my Willow Creek pages. You prompted me to update it with some more recent photos.

    Going to the Canary Islands was always something I wanted to do, but so far have not made it there! Thanks for this little peek, you saw some amazing and strange things!
