Lanzarote
You can still see the volcanic origin of this dry island today. The most severe volcanic eruptions in the island's history took place between 1730 and 1736. During this time, the face of Lanzarote as we know it today was shaped: black lava fields and craters form an almost unreal landscape in some areas, which will add a fascinating touch to your vacation. Lanzarote was even the first complete island to be declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1993.
