Who could imagine how beautiful these cenotes were, and how few people were swimming during our visits? There was no required tour here, as there was at another we visited. It was so large I was able to swim laps and we did not want to leave!!

Camel averse tourist, befuddled by the sight of a lineup of African animals awaiting tourists to take a ride. This is before reaching the visitor's center. Are we really in Spain?

Typical Timanfaya volcanic landscape. The lava infused the island's soil with nutrients to allow crops, and wine grapes, to grow.

View from Manrique house....see how the low slung nearby structures do the utmost to not impair the volcanic landscape of Lanzarote. Extinct volcanoes rise up around every bend in the road.

Many native cacti are named; it's an easy walk around the garden, and one of the best attractions I visited during our 9 nights on the island.
