Planning a trip to Lanzarote this winter? Our Canary holidays expert, Joe Cawley, gives you the insider information on planning, booking and enjoying a hassle free holiday you’ll never forget.
There’s no denying that most people head to Lanzarote for the year-round sunshine. But what else does this particular Canary have to sing about? Well, lots actually.
Yes, the coastline features phenomenally wide swathes of powdery pale sand, but it also features tiny fishing villages where lunch is served pretty much straight from the boat, cliffs that plunge high from the overhead blue into aquamarine waters below, and more water sports than you can shake a snorkel at. You’ll also find theme parks, adventure sports and spectacular attractions fashioned by Mother Nature’s volcanic fury and creatively styled by local hero Cesar Manrique. With all the conveniences and comforts you’d expect from a modern resort, places like Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca act as base camp for excursions above, below and into the extraterrestrial landscapes of Lanzarote.
