Lanzarote
A landscape of black lava and volcanic cones transformed by artist César Manrique. Timanfaya National Park and the Jameos del Agua rank among Europe's most singular natural sites.
Lanzarote is a world apart. Timanfaya National Park covers a third of the island in cooled black lava — a lunar landscape framed by intensely blue sea. César Manrique's work, present everywhere, integrates architecture into the volcanic landscape with rare coherence.
The passage to Lanzarote from Fuerteventura is short but technically interesting: the channel between the two islands concentrates and accelerates the trade winds. Puerto Calero or Arrecife — two very different marinas, both at the heart of a striking setting.
Lanzarote is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. This protection has preserved both the natural landscape and the island's architectural character. An island where you understand that beauty can coexist with human activity.

Tenerife
El Teide (3,718m) dominates the entire island and occasionally wears a snow cap. The wild, misty Anaga forest to the north contrasts dramatically with black-sand beaches in the south.
A continent in miniatureGran Canaria
Radically different microclimates depending on altitude. The Maspalomas dunes sit alongside vertiginous gorges. Las Palmas offers a well-equipped marina and a lively waterfront.
The Atlantic desertFuerteventura
Just 100 km from the African coast, its endless white-sand beaches and turquoise waters make it a sailor's paradise. The constant wind has also made it the world capital of windsurfing.
