Lanzarote (UK: /?lænz?'r?ti/, Spanish: [lan?a'?ote], locally [lansa'?ote]) is a Spanish island, the easternmost of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. It is located approximately 125 kilometres (80 miles) off the north coast of Africa and 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) from the Iberian Peninsula.
Lanzarote has been part of Spain since the 1400's. The Spanish – or the Crown of Castille as was the case at the time - first started a century long process of conquest in the Canary Islands in 1402, using a mixture of Italian and Norman mercenaries.
