Live, Laugh and Love in Lanzarote
You’ve got to laugh. Residents of the Canary Islands refer to Lanzarote as “The Flat One”, but the thousands of lycra-bikers, and I, got a very different impression. The Lanzarote landscape is many things, but flat is not one of them. This island is celebrating its 15 millionth birthday, but […]
