Lanzarote, including the small islands of La Graciosa, Alegranza, Montaña Clara, Roque del Este y del Oeste, covers 900 km² running 60 km north to south and only 20 km at its widest point. Fishing and agriculture once formed the basis of the island’s economy but have since been overtaken by the excellent quality of its tourism industry. Amongst the most outstanding attractions are the Art, Culture and Tourist Centres run under the auspices of the Insular Council. The world famous artist César Manrique's sensitive response to Lanzarote´s unique geography and people was instrumental in creating a pervasive artistic identity throughout the island.

Property for rent is available in all areas of Lanzarote including Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise, Orzola, Punta Mujeres, Arrieta, Puerto Calero, Tahiche, Yaiza, Tinajo, Famara plus all other coastal and inland areas.

Lanzarote is made up of seven municipalities: Arrecife (the capital), Teguise, Haría, San Bartolomé, Tías, Tinajo and Yaiza, with an official population of nearly 100,000 inhabitants, mostly residing in the south-central part of the island.
