Canary Islands Holidays

Like the other main Canary Islands such as Tenerife Lanzarote is probably best known as a package holiday destination. Although in recent years it has started to attract a greater number of independent travellers. Thanks in no small part to the introduction of more cheap flights to the island from low cost operators such as Ryanair and easyJet. With returns now available at most airports across the UK starting from as little as €100.

As a result of this growth in independent travel demand has also increased for private rental accommodation on the island. With a growing number of visitors booking their own Lanzarote villas and apartments via the internet. And despite the lure of chic rural accommodation many British tourists still prefer to opt for accommodation in the two main resorts, with villas in Playa Blanca or Puerto del Carmen proving perennially popular with this market.

A quick web search will reveal a number of Lanzarote villas – hotels and apartments to find accommodation to suit almost any requirements

Lanzarote is famous for its volcanoes – and rightly so. During the 1730?s the island was rocked by eruptions that lasted for over six years. So today much of the island’s interior resembles the surface of another planet – characterised by a very dry and arid terrain. So who would have thought that a place with as little rainfall as Lanzarote could be home to its very own wood?

But visitors to the north will find El Bosque perched on the Famara massif range of cliffs. Providing a verdant antidote to the volcanic region and a popular picnic spot for locals. As very few tourists are aware of this spot, which doesn’t feature on many maps and isn’t signposted. Making it very tricky to find.
