What continent does Lanzarote belong to?

I’m going there and want to know if i will have left Europe ?

Answer #1

The best answer here is ‘sort of’.

Lanzarote belongs to the African Tectonic Plate. So you will be in Africa in a geographical sense. However it is also under the rule of Spain and therefore politically an outlying European area.

If your friends ask, you can say you left Europe though. It’ll pass, I’m sure.

Answer #2

lanzarote is the 4th largest island in the canary islands and about 125 miles from the nearest continet africa,it does not belong to any continent,but as euro’s for its currency,because the canary islands belong to spain
