Arrecife

Spain

عن Arrecife

Arrecife is the capital and main port of Lanzarote, a Canary Island whose striking black volcanic landscape — shaped by massive 18th-century eruptions and preserved across Timanfaya National Park — is unlike anywhere else in Europe. The port is a short distance from the town center; a taxi or excursion is needed to reach Timanfaya's lunar lava fields, the underground lava tube of Jameos del Agua (designed by local artist César Manrique), and the island's white-sand beaches. Lanzarote's distinctive architecture, guided by Manrique's philosophy of harmony with nature, is another defining feature of the island.
