Between Easter and St. John’s Day, we can feel immersed in the grand tapestry of a luminous and vibrant world. Temperatures on the island are pleasant, and swimming in the sea has once again become an integral part of our daily lives after a relatively damp winter. Yellow stubble fields bear witness to meadows that were once green and full of flowers. In the center and south of the island, wine-red carpets of cosco—the knotted-flowered midday flower—are currently blooming here and there. It is an annual plant and is now, blushing, reaching its peak of maturity. Some plants, however—such as grapevines, fig trees, and flamboyants—follow a Central European rhythm, reaching toward the sky with fresh, budding greenery. Lanzarote is once again a unique pearl in the deep blue to turquoise waters—but not a black one!
