Rugged, stylish and awe inspiring, that’s the volcanic Lanzarote landscape, it’s not just a hit with tourists, it’s a great backdrop for photo sessions. Sometimes top models head for the craggy hills to contrast with the beauty of nature, but the latest high profile visitor was the new Ducati Multistrada 1200 S.

The famous Italian motorbike company chose Timanfaya National Park as the setting to road test and generally showcase it’s new powerful and sleek machine. The World’s motoring media gathered to see the  beast put through its paces. The bike has four distinct modes, Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro and Lanzarote was the ideal terrain to push the bike to the limits. Reviews have been very flattering, and Lanzarote has gained even more international admirers.

Timanfaya is normally much quieter, but always a popular attraction as visitors enjoy the lava fields and demonstrations of the heat that is held close to the surface. Sands Beach Resort Hotel is well placed in nearby Costa Teguise, and reception can always find the right excursion trip for you to sample the wonders of Timanfaya.
