A dramatic, volcanic outcrop less than a hundred miles from the North African coatline, Lanzarote feels wondefully out-of-this-world. Maybe that's because this island's interior is a starkly beautiful landscape of lava fields and low lying, whispering sands. Maybe it's because cheap flights to Lanzarote whisk you to this paradise in under four hours, yet leave you feeling that you've actually travelled much further.
