whose 15-metre cliffs have been carved into jagged caves created by the full force of the Atlantic’s crashing waves. It’s a colourful spectacle, with a terracotta volcanic peak in the distance and deep-blue waters sweeping into dark grey lava cliffs. But they’re just the warm-up act


for Lanzarote’s star natural attraction. Volcanic eruptions in the early 18th century created the extraordinary lunar-like landscape of Timanfaya National Park.

earth’s surface, they can visit El Diablo restaurant in the centre of the park, where natural volcanic heat is used to grill meat and fish. There are more subterranean


wonders to explore at the eastern end of the island, including the Cueva de los Verdes, which, at more than four miles, is one of the longest volcanic tunnels in the world.

This intimate cove is the southernmost beach along the peninsula, and if clients don’t want to drive along the ridge, they can walk
