Closer to Africa than Europe, the island of Lanzarote is the most popular holiday destination in the Canary Islands. Athletes – in particular bicyclists and triathletes – have long considered Lanzarote the best place to train for the season. While snow is still on the ground in Germany, the hot sun shines upon the Atlantic island, creating pleasant conditions for many types of sport. Lanzarote is ideal for ambitious cyclists: The excellent road network provides competitive racers and leisure cyclists alike with excellent routes. With the right maps, you can explore the serene alternative routes through the island’s prominent volcanic landscape.

Wind and kitesurfing are popular activities for active holiday-goers in Lanzarote. Located off the coast of Africa, the air and water temperatures here are already as warm in spring as they are in the summer in Germany. Get your dose of sunshine in Lanzarote! Start a new chapter in your life by finally learning how to windsurf! If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you may want to try kitesurfing – you’ll be hard-pressed to have more fun while on holiday. The warm trade wind moves your surfboard along the blue shoreline of Lanzarote and lifts your kite into the azure blue sky – and you along with it! There are many surfing schools and professional board rental companies to show you the ropes. But the island of Lanzarote isn’t just for athletes – fans of art and beautiful landscapes will also find a number of attractions.

World-renowned for his building designs, the Spanish architect and artist Cesar Manrique is a special topic of interest for visitors to the island. He created a snow-white, palace-like hacienda among the black lava fields: the Fundacion Manrique. Perfect green gardens with the flora common on the island along with colourful Spanish motifs transport visitors to a world of surreal delight. After visiting his galleries, you can descend the winding staircase to the volcanic caves beneath the hacienda and experience a bizarre symbiosis of natural beauty and human architecture. Costa Teguise, Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca are the perfect places to round off your holiday.
