Lanzarote

Lanzarote, perhaps the most unusual of the Canary Islands, lies approximately 95km from the coast of Africa and 1100km South West of the Spanish peninsula. This position ensures year round high temperatures, more days of sunshine and fewer days of rain than the other islands. Summer temperatures can be in the 90's though these are always tempered by cooling sea breezes - ideal for sunbathing and sport during the day and comfortable in the evenings for relaxing over a leisurely meal or drink at one of the many bars and restaurants. Only about 45km long and around 18km at its widest point the island is famous for its dramatic lunar landscape of almost 300 volcanoes. Views of volcanic mountains, picon covered fields and rocky coastlines are broken up by a large number of beautiful golden sandy beaches and an amazing amount of well tended greenery and agriculture. The warm clear waters of the Atlantic never fall below 65oF even in Winter and are ideal for scuba diving, snorkelling and fishing. The constant sea breezes also make Lanzarote one of the best places in the world for wind surfing, and the island frequently hosts international competitions. On land there are excellent facilities for various other sports including tennis, squash, go-karting, horse riding, and golf on the attractive 18 hole course in Costa Teguise. If you are interested in exploring the island there is plenty to see, from the extraordinary lava fields of the Timanfaya National Park with the Fire Mountain camel trek, to the tranquil underground cave and lake at Jameos del Agua. The cliff top views of the tiny island of La Graciosa from Mirador del Rio are as spectacular as the long, unspoilt beaches of Papagayo in the South are magnificent. An insight into the island's history and culture can be gained by visiting Teguise, the original island capital, Haria in the fe4ile Valley of 1000 Palms, and some of the tiny country villages where life has hardly changed despite the influx of tourism. You may be lucky enough to visit during Carnival week or one of the many fiestas that take place in different parts of the island throughout the year when the Lanzarotenos, or 'Conejeros' as they are known, party the night away. Arrecife, the busy capital and commercial centre of the Island, has well developed shopping facilities for duty free goods to take home, as has Puerto del Carmen the main tourist resort. The other major places to stay on the island are the quieter, well planned resorts of Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca, originally a tiny fishing village from where you can watch the daily ferry crossings to and from Fuerteventura. A day trip to this neighbouring island makes an enjoyable excursion during your holiday on Lanzarote. BEACHES Although only a small island, Lanzarote has a large number of golden sandy beaches to offer you, whatever your preference. Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca all have large open beaches with tourist facilities as well as several smaller, less busy coves. To escape the crowds, try the long curving Famara beach in the North West of the island, overlooked by the magnificent Rincon de Famara cliffs; this is a favourite beach for surfers, but do be careful of the powerful undercurrent here. Or if you feel adventurous and don't mind a bumpy ride over rough tracks, the famous Papagayo beaches in the South, beyond Playa Blanca, are a must, as these are reputed to be among the best natural beaches in Spain.
