Lanzerote - Canary Islands
Miles Newton Hi Guys,

Well, the subject line says it all......

I have just returned from the Lanzerote, which is an island, part of the Canary Islands.

The Canary Islands are an archipelago of the "Kingdom of Spain"consisting of seven islands of volcanic origin in the Atlantic Ocean.

The name derives probably from Berber North African tribes (the Canarii), in Berber language the islands are called Tkanaren, or possibly the Latin term Insularia Canaria meaning Island of the Dogs, a name applied originally only to the island of Gran Canaria.

It was the perfect oppurtunity to go to Lanzerote as my Mom has been living out there for the past 4 months. The Capital of Lanzerote is called Arrecife, my mom lives in a port called, Puerto Del Carmen, which is about a 15 minute drive away.

I hope you guys enjoy my "Blog" and hope to hear from you soon with your comments......



Cheers,
Miles
