Birth place of Cesar Manrique, Lanzarote is a unique destination by force of the fact it was literally shaped by the ambition and talent of the said Manrique who dedicated the last part of his life to turn Lanzarote into the embodiment of a harmonious marriage between nature and art. The Timanfaya National Park, El Mirador del Rio or Jardin de Cactus evidence the artfulness of his work. Tourists should also keep in mind the volcanic cave chain in Lanzarote is one of the biggest in the world, which is a further incentive for visiting this island.
Trasmediterranea boats leave from Santa Cruz de Tenerife and haul ashore at Arrecife. The same route is covered by the boats operated by Naviera Armas.
The main two airline companies linking Tenerife to Lanzarote are Binter and Islas Airways. Their planes leave either from Los Rodeos or from Reina Sofia, and land at Arrecife Airport.
