The story of the Lady of the Volcanoes

During your stay in Lanzarote you will hear about the Lady of the Volcanoes, beloved patron saint of the island.  If you travel to Parque Nacional de Timanfaya, don’t miss the Hermitage of the Virgen de los Dolores, whom the islanders call de los Volcanes. The natives tell a story related to one of the terrible eruptions that occurred in this area, in which lava threatened to engulf the entire town; its inhabitants turned to the Virgin to stop the river of lava; and it stopped. To express their gratitude, they erected the Hermitage in honour of the Virgin in the same place where the miracle occurred. Nowadays, this chapel is visited by natives and foreigners during the Romerías, that are celebrated on the 31st July, which is the date of the extinction of the volcano, and when the Fiesta del Fuego is celebrated.

Lanzarote: a gastronomic island

Gastronomy, without any doubt, is a way of living the island's culture. Lanzarote's cuisine, as that of the other islands, has a Spanish background, however, it has strong African and Latin-American influences, as well as from ancient traditions that go back to the aboriginals. The international cuisine offered a the main tourist resorts harmonises with the traditional dishes such as mojos, gofios and fish. Lanzarote’s cuisine amazes for its delicious simplicity and the way the food is made.  Set out a genuine gastronomic trip through soups, vegetable soups and ropa vieja, excellent meat, goat cheese, its volcanic broths and malmseys...

Discover a "salt garden"

The Salt Mines of Janubio, created in 1895, are for many people a salt garden and one of the most incredible landscapes of the island. As if it was a painting, the various ponds that form the salt mines acquire different colours that change with the sun rays, contrasting with the deep blue ocean.  Blinding scenery. A vast area of nearly one million square metres is divided in a huge number of grids separated by dark volcanic rock walls.  The exploitation of the salt mines has continued to date in a traditional way.  During your trip to Lanzarote, don’t miss this site that has been recognised by the UNESCO as one of the most interesting salt mines that remain in Europe. However, what is the effect of salt in this land?  At the beginning of the 20th Century , salt was one of the major sources of income for Lanzarote, as the mines produced sufficient salt to  export to different countries around the world.  At present, the Salinas de Janubio are one of the few mines that are still open, transformed a tourist site that produces 15.000 tons a year of salt. Besides, this white gold is still an essential element of the renowned festivities of Corpus Christi, when the street are decorated with gorgeous salt carpet.
