Lanzarote offers something different going beyond what everyday sun and beach destination offer. Timanfya National Park has a rugged landscapes of jagged black volcanoes and malpais, created by volcanic eruptions nearly three centuries ago, which contrast with the wide sandy beaches and the green valleys of the northern part of the island. Lanzarote has been a Biosphere Reserve since 1993 and a Geopark since 2015. The island has been given the 'Biosphere Responsible Tourism' certificate, and has led the Ecotur_Azul Macaronesian Project, a common model for the sustainable use of the territory and responsible use of its maritime and terrestrial resources. 

The island has a year-round temperature of 22 degrees and more than 3000 hours of sun per year, which make it an ideal destination to visit all-year-round and is a haven to practice outdoor sport.

VisitMenorca

Menorca should be on your holiday list for 2023. In case its coves, gastronomy, or historical heritage were not enough reason to visit the most sustainable of the Balearic Islands, Menorca is preparing to celebrate thirty years as a Biosphere Reserve. Menorca is wild by nature, a true paradise that, in just 600 square kilometers, encompasses cliffs, ravines and Mediterranean forests. The high degree of conservation of its environment, traditions, and culture earned it the recognition as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1993.

 

For over 30 years the island has combined its role as a sun and beach tourist destination with the development of new attractions related to sustainability. It is the only Mediterranean island with a double certification as a Reserve and Starlight Destination; its sustainable gastronomy, based on local products and traditional recipes, was recognized in 2022 by IGCAT with the mandate of European Region of Gastronomy.
