The actor and model Jon Kortajarena, who last Friday received the Distinguished Tourism Award of Lanzarote at the Los Jameos del Agua Auditorium, 
has become in recent years one of the best advertising claims of the island after deciding to acquire a home on Famara beach.
"Since I was little I have been in love with Famara. I remember the first time I went to that beach. I didn't know why but I fell in love with it. And then little by little I have been traveling around the world and seeing other very special places and although there are wonderful places to discover for me, Famara is one of those places that is up to the best places I have ever seen. And the energy it has feels good to me," he says.
The actor and model wrote on his social network thanking for the award: "Last night I experienced a super special night receiving the Tourism Award of the Canary Islands 2018. Who was going to tell me! Thanks to the Cabildo of Lanzarote and all the authorities present, with whom I also spent an unforgettable night."
Kortajarena highlights that his friends have discovered an island in which much importance is given to nature and tranquility. "All the values that César Manrique put on the island are respected and that makes this island very special and unique. The truth is that I feel very proud that every time I bring people everyone leaves delighted and with the feeling that they want to return and that the island is special," he says.
