Lanzarote, the newfound exotic paradise for property investors, is also referred to as 'Conejera' by the local residents. Lanzarote is known as the island of 100 volcanoes but it actually has a landscape with more than 300! It is the easternmost island of the Canaries and is situated extremely close to the African coast. The name Lanzarote is derived from a word which means 'the coloured hills' and refers to the breathtaking red colour of its landscape. Lanzarote boasts of perfectly warm temperatures all year round and a dry climate with little rain. Sun worshippers enjoy the sparkling white-sand beaches and the clear blue waters. Yachting, windsurfing and kitesurfing are all popular pastimes in this splendorous locale.
