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.

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.
