⭐ Core Definition: LZ3 (Lanzarote)

LZ-3 is an autovía (a type of highway in Spain) located on the island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. It serves as a ring road to the island's capital city, Arrecife.

Since Arrecife is a coastal city, the ring road does not complete a full circle. On the northern side, LZ-3 begins at a roundabout by the island's main port, Puerto de los Mármoles. On the southern side, LZ-3 ends at a junction with LZ-2, the main road leading to the south of the island. LZ-3 is also connected to LZ-1, the main road leading to the north of the island. Thus, the island's north-south axis is LZ-1–LZ-3–LZ-2, connecting the northernmost town, Órzola, to the southernmost town, Playa Blanca.

LZ3 (Lanzarote) in the context of Arrecife

Arrecife (/ˌærəˈsf/; Spanish: [areˈθife] ; locally [areˈsife]) is the capital city and a municipality of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. It was made the island's capital in 1852. The city owes its name to the rock reef ("arrecife" being Spanish for "reef") which covers its local beach. It also gives its name to the nearby Arrecife Airport. The population of the municipality was 64,645 in 2020. Its area is 22.72 square kilometres (8.77 sq mi).

Arrecife is located south of Teguise and east of San Bartolomé, and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to its southeast. It is a port town, served by ferries to the other Canary Islands, Europe, and Africa. The LZ1 road connects Arrecife to the northeast of the island, the LZ2 road connects it to the southwest, and the LZ3 road serves as the city's beltway. The tallest building in Lanzarote is the Arrecife Gran Hotel, which is located on the seafront alongside the harbour.
