Lanzarote

We spent the day driving around the southern half of the island.


Playa Blanca at the southern tip of the island.


From Playa Blanca, we headed north to Las Salinas de Janubio--salt fields that are still functional.




Los Hervideros--underwater caves made of lava. The waves force water into the caves, creating a bubbling and boiling appearance.

 
Charco de Los Clicos--emerald lagoon on the west coast of the island.
 

Beach near Charco de Los Clicos--the film locale for "One Million Year BC" starring Raquel Welch

The volcanic landscape at Parque National de Timanfaya

 
On one of the volcanic mountaintops--Islote de Hilario--sits the restaurant El Diablo. The restaurant takes advantage of the heat from the volcano to cook at this outside grill.
 


La Geria--wine growing region. The vines are placed inside the rock rings which shield the vines from the winds.
