Conil, a small rural picturesque village.
The peaceful village of Conil is located in the south-west of Lanzarote and has a beautiful viewpoint across the ocean to the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura. Conil has so far remained almost completely undiscovered by many of the major tour operators which has helped keep its old rural Canarian charm. This small peaceful village offers a local supermarket and an authentic Canarian tapas bar, Ramons, serving delicious dishes of the island. Fortunately the island is a small so you are in close proximity to visiting all the others.

What makes Lanzarote different from the other Canary Islands?
The visionary,
Cesar Manrique.
Lanzarotes most famous son, Cesar Manrique was an architect, artist and nature activist. Few artists have contributed to their homeland as much as he did. He ensured that the construction of high-rise buildings was not allowed or giant commercial advertising and that the exterior of all the buildings had to be painted white only with green , brown or blue wood work. This has resulted in Lanzarote looking like the prettiest of all the Canary Islands. His influence lives on and It helps to justify why Lanzarote has been included in the Unesco World Network of Biosphere Reserves.
