When you think of Lanzarote, what’s the first thing you think about? The problem that has plagued the island for years is the commercial, tacky side. But this shouldn’t be the case at all, because it is one of the most stunning Canary Islands around. Beneath the grotty image of all day breakfasts and theme bars lies an amazing holiday destination. On a typical Lanzarote holiday, you’ll discover the rich heritage of the island, the exhilirating watersports on offer and the breathtaking volcanic landscape. So much of the island lies unspoilt and makes visiting a real must for a holiday destination.
Holidays Lanzarote
The amount of activities is amazing – if you’re up for not lying on the white sandy beaches all day that is! From paragliding to windsurfing and parascending to kitesurfing, the list is endless. And if you fancy going on a bit of a trek, discover some amazing natural beauty – this is recommended. One thing that has to be visited is El Charco de los Clicos – a green lagoon in the middle of a volcano. For winelovers, there’s also a wine region to check out.

And of course, a Lanzarote holiday wouldn’t be a Lanzarote holiday without tasting the local food. The cuisine is rich in seafood and fresh vegetables combining the rich mediterranean influences with a more African flavour. After all, Africa is only 125 kms away. The most famous dish is papas arrugadas – or wrinkled potatoes. These are basically small potatoes boiled in salt water with their skins on. They are served everywhere and usually come with a variety of sauces with mojos. There is a green mojo which contains coriander and a red mojo which contains red chili. Perfect with a glass of wine and a perfect way to start your Lanzarote holiday.
