Landing in Lanzarote is like stepping onto another planet. The island welcomes you with its volcanoes, expanses of solidified lava , and trails that seem to stretch into infinity. It's a harsh, wild land that gives nothing away but rewards with breathtaking scenery. Trekking through the craters of Timanfaya was the heart of the adventure: black rocks that creak underfoot, slopes that collapse with every step, silence broken only by the wind. Here, every move is a challenge, and it's in these moments that you rely completely on your gear. My AKU Omnia V-Light GTX have been my most faithful companion: stable on unstable terrain, lightweight on longer stretches, sturdy when the lava rocks tried to stop me. A versatile shoe, designed to accompany you throughout your holiday , not just on treks. Lanzarote, in fact, is more than just volcanoes.
After miles of Martian landscapes, the vineyards of La Geria suddenly appear, a miracle of human ingenuity: vines growing protected by circular black stone walls, green spots of life in the lava desert. Walking through them is like traversing a secret garden born of fire .
And then there are the beaches: not golden expanses, but obsidian-black sands, where the ocean crashes with all its force. Lying there, after hours of walking, is like feeling the island's energy coursing under your skin .
Each day ended with tired legs, eyes full of contrasts and a heart full of freedom.
Lanzarote challenges you, but teaches you that adventure and beauty arise precisely from the diversity of its landscapes . Lanzarote isn't just a destination to visit, it's an experience to be lived step by step, which leaves you with the strength of its nature and the lightness of freedom.
