Lanzarote by Noel Rochford
Few holidaymakers realise that Lanzarote has more to offer than just beaches and sunshine. This fascinating island is truly extraordinary. Its fate was decided some two and one-half centuries ago, when the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history took place, leaving a strange and alluring countryside in its wake - a landscape littered with volcanoes and dark streams of jagged lava. This is the backdrop to nearly every scene on the island, and intriguing sights abound - none more so than the 'Fire Mountains'. There is no better place in the Canary Islands for just strolling. No doubt 'serious' walkers will find other islands more challenging, but ramblers will be in their element on Lanzarote. Each of the walks in this book takes you to a different corner of the island and shows you a scenically-different outlook. But if walking is not your favourite pastime, then do rent a vehicle of sorts and explore on wheels. It includes a day-trip to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura.
"I thought I'd write to let you know jut how valuable your book was on my recent trip to Lanzarote with my familyWhilst other holidaymakers were going on the usual excursions, we went off the beaten track - following your picnic suggestions. The most memorable was Graciosa - catching the 10am ferry to Caleta del Sebo, and stopping by the lagoon. I found your book very informative on all aspects and the maps were useful and accurate. It certainly left us with many lovely memories of the island." (D.&E.T., West Hagley)"
