History and Culture in Lanzarote

Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands, boasts a rich history and vibrant culture deeply influenced by its geographical isolation and volcanic origins. In the 15th Century, Spanish explorers conquered Lanzarote, and it became a critical stopover point for ships travelling between Europe and the Americas. This history is reflected in the island's architecture, traditions, and cuisine, which blend Spanish and Guanche influences.

You'll notice an absence of high-rise buildings, thanks to local artist and architect César Manrique. He wanted to promote sustainable, low-impact tourism that preserved Lanzarote's natural beauty. All buildings are coloured in the local white chalk, contrasting beautifully with the island's volcanic black sands.

The Castilla is one of the top sites in Lanzarote. It was built in the 18th century to defend the island from pirate attacks. It overlooks Fuerteventura and provides a relaxed setting for people to walk and enjoy the view.
