Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the perfect one week to ten days holiday destination.

It all sounds dreamy right? Find out more about Lanzarote with the recommendations below.

THINGS TO DO

Playa Papagayo

This is one of the most picturesque beaches from all the islands. You’ll feel like you’re in Greece. Located in a small cove, expect clear blue waters and a white sand beach. The spot is very tranquille and you can snorkel there too.

Surf in Famara

This is one of the biggest surf hotspot in the whole Canaries. You'll find many surf schools here and it's a great place to learn. Overall the vibe here is very chilled, hippy & surf. I took lessons at Lanzasurf.

Jameus del Agua

This is a concert hall built in a volcano tunnel & caver. You’ll also find a salt lake and restaurant on-site. This unique spot is better seen than described. I did find the entry price was a bit expensive but it’s still worth checking out I’d say.

Jardin del Cactus

If you're going to visit this cactus garden make sure to eat at their restaurant too and try all the recipes with actual cactus in them.

Visit Teguise

Teguise used to be the former capital of Lanzarote. It's a beautiful historical town with white coloured houses and charming cafes and restaurants. It’s the perfect place for a Sunday stroll.

Mirador del Rio

This is a beautiful viewpoint to enjoy at dawn, dusk or even in the middle of the day, it never disappoints. You can enjoy views of La Graciosa, the small island adjacent to Lanzarote.

Day trip to La Graciosa

Don’t miss a day trip to this sumptuous island. La Graciosa is only fifteen minutes and 15euros (one way) away from Lanzarote and has some of the most beautiful beaches in the canary island.

EAT & DRINK

El Patio

Enjoy homemade crepes at this lovely eatery. Their terrasse is the perfect spot to drink al fresco all year round.

Wine Tasting

Lanzarote is famous for its wine so go for a little taster. We did our tasting at the Bodega Rubicon but there's plenty more such as La Querencia & Bodega La Geria.

Restaurant Pizzeria Casa Morelino

This place is one of the tastiest Italian I ever had and the setting is very quirky too. Don't miss it!
