I continue the story of traveling in Lanzarote with the next stop: EL Mirador del Rio (the viewpoint of the river), a high place from where you can see the island of La Graciosa, which resides in the north side of Lanzarote (and not Fuerteventura as I previously wrote). Anyway, it’s interesting to find out that Fuerteventura, together with Lanzarote, are the oldest islands of the Canary Islands, their orientation (parallel with the African coast) being different along the other islands of the archipelago. Even if the Canary Islands does have a controversial origin, the two islands, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are known to have the same geological ingredients. Many hypothesis exist now regarding their 70 million years ago birth, but the truth I believe it’s somewhere in the middle. Doesn’t even matter so much now, the beauty is so ephemeral in terms of such periods of time that we can only enjoy what is now our reality. So, enjoy the views from Mirador del Rio, Lanzarote.
The land you see behind me is the island of La Graciosa.
This is the island (Fuerteventura), zoomed in:
And now, the views from the road, in the north side of the Lanzarote:
The Island YouTube can see from «el Mirador del Río» is «La Graciosa» not Fuerteventura.
Oh, you’re right! Fuerteventura is in the south side. Thanks for the tip.
