Lanzarote is very popular with holiday makers and tourists from all over Europe, and it's easy to see why. The laid back culture, year round sunshine and unique volcanic landscape all make for a captivating and memorable week or fortnight away.
The landscape, a result of volcanic eruptions over 35 million years ago, may seem sparse, dry and barren to some, but for others it offers opportunities - a chance to get close to history and what was a very turbulent past.
Of course, it isnt just the history of Lanzarote that attracts the tourists. Tourism is a big part in the economy of Lanzarote and given how busy the islands only airport is, in Arrecife, its plain to see just how big a part it plays.
There are a number of large, very high quality hotels on the island, but for those who were thinking of spending a little less there is a huge selection of self catering complexes and private villas and bungalows available for rent. With low cost airlines making frequent flights to Lanzarote it is also very easy to get there. The flight time to Lanzarote from the UK is a shade over 4 hours and yet the difference in climate and temperature makes it feel like you are much, much further away!
When on the island the three main resorts certainly dont let the holiday makers down. There is definitely something for everyone from all night clubs to fine dining and bars. There is a huge selection of family friendly restaurants and establishments and the entertainment ranges from UK tribute artists to traditional Canarian acts.
Of course, one of the things that people go on holiday for is the combination of sun, sand and sea (and lets throw in Sangria for good measure). Lanzarote doesnt fall short in the beach department. The main resorts all have a number of large and well maintained beaches to choose from and although the sea can be a little cool at certain times of the year, it is usually crystal clear and ideal for scuba diving enthusiasts.
Still not convinced? If you want to do a little more than just lie around on the beach then why not take an excursion or trip to one of the attractions on the island. The Timanfaya National Park gives you a glimpse into the islands history. This volcanic park is made up of hundreds of craters and in places the temperature, just a few feet under the ground, can get up to 600 degrees! Other attractions that were born out of the volcanic past, along with a little creativity from the local, late artist Cesar Manrique are Jameos del Agua and The Green Caves. Along with Mirador del Rio which is a lookout over the Rio straights and to the neighboring island of La Graciosa.
And it doesnt stop there. There are so many things to do, for couples and families of all ages including extreme water sports, submarine trips, scuba diving, quad biking and much, much more.
Lanzarote, in my view, is the perfect paradise in which you are able to unwind, relax and escape from the real world.
Lanzarote is, quite simply, the authors favourite place on earth! Ian is also the owner and editor of Destination Lanzarote - an online guide book to the island of Lanzarote.
