"The wonderful climate and the impressive light of the island" have been the determining factors for the sports brand Adidas to choose Lanzarote as the setting for its new 2007-2008 European catalog. German photographer Klaus Thyman turned the facilities of the Arrecife Sports City into an improvised photographic studio on Wednesday. "I would love to come back later, both to work and to rest in this unique place," said Thyman, marveling at the light and sun that the Island of Volcanoes gives off.
From the Cabildo they have assured that this photo session is very positive for the promotion of the island, since the catalog will be distributed throughout Europe. For this reason, the Minister of Sports, Luis Arráez, visited the German team in the vicinity of the Gran Hotel, where Klaus Thyman told him about the ease of work they have had, due to the collaboration of the staff of the Sports City.
For the realization of the catalog, the international brand Adidas moved a large human and technical team to the island of the Volcanoes. In addition, the models that will appear in it are professional island athletes, since they are eight players who passed all the casting tests.
