Many tourists who've explored the small neighbouring island of La Graciosa liken the experience to stepping back in time. As this small islet off the north coast of Lanzarote remains amazingly unspoiled by modern day development.

But a new photographic exhibition which has just opened in Teguise documents dates between 1989 and 1992 - when the island was almost virgin and even more untouched and juxtaposes them with images taken in the same location 25 years later.

The exhibition, entitled The Changing 8th Island, is being staged at the Centro de Arte, Santa Domingo in Teguise until the end of July and is the work of locally based photographer Gabriele Marl, who captured these changes in time. Providing a fascinating insight into socio cultural aspects of life on this tiny island.
