I was in Lanzarote several years ago

when Mr David Cameron and his family were there on holiday. I could not understand why would a British Prime Minister,for whom  the world is an oyster, choose to holiday on this drab, monotonous island.

The cruise ship has brought me to this barren land again and I am beginning to understand why. 

I have learnt it is the life below the ground that is extraordinary and so worth exploring.

I booked a tour to the famous cave,Jameos Del Agua, where blind albino crabs live.

Our tour guide talked snd talked and talked, laughing  at every attempt of his own jokes, but a child could have organized the entry to the cave better. Other groups were beings ushered in by their guides, Bernardo was nowhere to be seen, consequently we had too little time inside.

And no, I did  not see an albino crab,  but  they  are there  and nowhere else in the world.

On the way to the cave we stopped by the Monumento Al Compesino, sculpture by Cesar  Manrique,dedicated to farm workers.The statue is made of disused water tanks, the site where  it stands marks the geographic  centre of the island.
