When you're in Lanzarote, the fourth largest of all the Canary Islands, you can have many things to see and do. Surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean, this gorgeous island has an abundance of astonishing attractions created by the renowned Spanish sculptor, artist, and architect, Cesar Manrique. The most impressive aspect of his masterpieces on the island is that they have been brilliantly carved out from the natural elements. Lanzarote was declared a biosphere reserve in 1993 by UNESCO. During your time spent on this Spanish island, you'll get to explore some of its famous attractions.

Among the most popular places you can explore while enjoying your cheap holidays to Lanzarote is Timanfaya National Park. It is home to the 'Montanas del Fuego' or the 'Fire Mountains', which were a reason for the violent volcanic eruptions that occurred on this island between 1730 and 1736. You'll be able to witness some unique landscapes in this part of the world characterised by lava fields, salt marshes, and cones. The guide accompanying ...

The volcanic hollows that came into existence after the eruption of Mount Corona 4,000 years ago are also worth exploring. Known as Cueva de Los Verdes or 'The Green Caves', they form a part of the world's longest lava tunnel. Locals had used these caves a long time ago to hide from the pirates during their invasions. Today, they've become one of the most captivating attractions on the island. Some awe-inspiring sights are created inside these caves with the help of special lighting. The lights also highlight different structures in the caves.

Jameos Del Agua is one of the best creations of Cesar Manrique, which you can explore while holidaying on this island. He had used the Mount Corona volcanic system to transform some of its parts into spectacular attractions. As a result, visitors would get to see some exciting places, such as a natural lake, a collection of gardens, a cafe, and an auditorium where some interesting events are hosted regularly. You can chill out in the underground cave bar with one of the soothing drinks or cocktails. If you don't mind waiting a little longer at night, you'll see the second venue being transformed into an unusual nightclub.

Located in the village of Guatiza is a Cactus Garden called Jardin de Cactus. It appears like a botanical oasis with more than 1000 cacti species arranged in a terraced format in a quarry, which has the shape of an amphitheatre. This was the last project of Cesar Manrique, which he had created before his death in 1992. Overlooking the rustic windmill in this garden are ponds, lava rocks, and winding paths. As the flowering of many cacti in this garden takes place during August and September, the two months would be the best time of the year to explore Jardin de Cactus.
