Lanzarote is the most easterly of the Canary Islands and 70 miles off the coast of North Africa. It is approximately 37 miles long and 12 miles wide.

The island of Lanzarote has been declared a world UNESCO heritage site due to its unique landscape. The lunar appearance of the landscape has led to the island being used for many film sets including Doctor Who and the Planet of the Apes.
