If you’ve started planning a holiday to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, you’ve come to the right place! Many first-time visitors spend one week on the island, staying in hotels, resorts or self-catered apartments on the south coast, such as Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca. While relaxing by a swimming pool and enjoying some warm sunshine might sound appealing, I’d also recommend getting out and exploring some of this stunning island.
Three key locations (Puerto del Carmen old town, Arrieta and Costa Teguise) to gain a greater understanding of the options for tourists visiting. Car hire is available so that you have the freedom to explore.
It’s worth noting that if you’re not planning to hire a car, you can still see a lot of the key sights by booking onto a day tour. They tend to stop at Timanfaya National Park, Jameos del Agua and the Cactus Garden, as well as a few other popular spots. You could also choose to hire a car just for one day, so you have a bit of a freedom.
A favourite experiences is the Lanzarote wine tour. Sipping crisp local wines and seeing La Geria’s unique black vineyards was an unforgettable experience. It’s definitely one of my top things to do in Lanzarote.
There is also the unique black sand beach at El Golfo, as well as the views of the vibrant green of Charco Verde – Lanzarote’s famous green lake.
You can’t travel around this island without observing the influence of architectural genius César Manrique. From iconic landmarks including Jameos del Agua and Mirador del Rio, to the César Manrique Foundation (located in his former home of 20 years).
Other favourite spots included Punta Mujeres, Famara Beach and Papagayo Beach. It really is an amazing island!
Lanzarote is a great destination to visit all year round. The island has a sub-tropical climate, with lots of sunshine throughout the year. The summers tend to be hot, with temperatures reaching 31°C in August. Meanwhile, the winters are mild compared to most of Europe, and even in February it can reach highs of 22°C.
