Hotels in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain |
What
can Lanzarote offer you on your next holiday by John Plumb
The short answer is "It can offer
you anything and everything", but surely you want to know more?
Where is Lanzarote?
It is located on the eastern side
of the Canary Islands and is a mere 13 miles wide and 40 miles long, so
you can travel to each and every part of the island and spend the whole
day not having to worry about lengthy journeys to and from excursions and
one of the most appealing aspects is the climate as it offers warm temperatures
and scarce rains all year around, turning it into a great place for those
who wish to spend time at the beach and enjoy as many outdoor activities
as possible. |

Lanzarote Hotels - Self-Catering
Accommodation in Lanzarote
 Whether
you are in to Land, Sea or Air sports there is plenty of everything here:
Cycling, Go-Karting, Golf, Horse-riding,
Jeep Safari, Quad-Bike Safari, Rancho Texas & The Tropical Park
Boat Cruises, Catamaran, Fishing,
Submarine or perhaps you just want to go to an aquapark, Flight Tours,
Hand-Gliding & Parasailing
If you prefer the more cultural aspects
of a location, then you have to come to 'heaven'. This side of Lanzarote
is best summed by the mere mention of one mans name - Cesar Manrique, a
man whose influence can be seen all over the island at places like Castillo
de San Jose, Cueva de los Verdes, Fundacion Manrique, Jameous Del Aqua,
Jardin De Cactus, Mirador Del Rio, Museo Campesino and the fantasic Timanfaya
("Fire Mountain").
Where else in the world can you have
your lunch in a cafeteria that is built on top of an active volcano, where
the heat for cooking comes from the volcano itself?
Where else can you go deep into a
cavern in the middle of nowhere and find a huge ampitheatre used for live
concerts?
