Lanzarote is a relatively small island and easy to explore by car.

A visit to the unique Timanfaya National Park is a must as is a camel ride into the volcanic hinterland! The unspoilt island of Fuerteventura is a short ferry ride away (and visible from Playa Blanca). Ferries sail each way several times a day.
