Lanzarote holidays

The Canary Islands are a favorite holiday maker destination, particularly for British and German visitors.  Tourism is the major industry and restaurant menus are sometimes drafted in Spanish, English and German.  Lanzarote is part of this group of islands and is the main center for visitors.  There’s a global airfield called Arrecife airport.  The islands are Spanish owned and so Spanish is the chief language but is spoken with an accent.  Lanzarote holidays offer great beaches, fun and nightlife.  The weather can be windy, particularly in the month of July. 

These islands were formed from volcanic activity and the landscape is very dramatic.  The best way to get around on Lanzarote vacations is to hire a car.  It’s an cheap option and preferable to public transport, which doesn’t go to holiday maker attractions as a rule.  Many of us enjoy the water sports here,eg windsurfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, parasailing, canoeing and surfing.  Submarine trips can be scheduled from Puerto del Carmen and Puerto Calero. 

Resorts on Lanzarote are targeted at British tourists as they make up the majority of visitors.  There are a large amount of restaurants serving standard British food and there are several Irish bars.  In fact, local food is in short supply around the traveller spots but it is feasible to find cuisine from India, China, Mexico and Greece. 

The volcanic terrain can be explored in the Timanfaya state Park, an area landscaped by eruptions between 1730 -1736.  Coach tours take visitors around the park to see the steam geyser and volcanic rock.  Narration on the tour is in Spanish, English or German.  Among the sights, is the Montanas del Fuego mountain and there’s a bar, cafe and shop.  The Visitor’s Center has exhibits that outline the local history, volcanic activity and the fauna of the area.  The Jameos del Agua complex contains a bar, restaurant, concert hall and pool. 

The highlight for many visitors is a trip to the Cueva de los Verdes, which is a collection of caves and tunnels.  Lanzarote holidays would not be the same without seeing the light show that illuminates the caves.  They are 3,000 years old and the results of volcanic activity.  The most famous section is the huge space that has been used as an underground concert hall.  Another attraction for Lanzarote holidays is the Wild West themed Rancho Texas Park, that has cowboys, taverns and other western themes.  There is also a big cat collection with rare White Tigers and pumas.

When planning a trip to Lanzarote rent a car from Lanzarote Car Hire and explore the entire island. You might also like to consider booking a Cheap Lanzarote Hotel online.
