Whilst many cruise passengers will be heading out on their planned excursions in Lanzarote, there’s plenty of places to explore in the capital city of Arrecife. Hopefully your cruise ship will dock at Marina Lanzarote rather than the Puerto de los Mármoles, if so the capital is within easy walking distance. If not pick up…
You must call in to one of the Asadero de Pollos in Lanzarote if you get the chance, you won’t have tasted better chicken or believe the portions and prices. The local Asadero is the equivalent to our Fish and Chip shops in the UK. There is generally one in each Spanish town and well…
The Isla de Lobos is a small uninhabited island situated just off the coast of Fuerteventura. It’s a haven for birdlife and popular with walkers. There’s a circular path which is well signposted with the walking time required to get back to the harbour. Visit the Faro de Martiño lighthouse, climb the Montaña La Caldera…
We’ve had the pleasure of attending several bodega hopping excursions with Eco Insider over the years. It’s a great way for us to taste the new Lanzarote wines, especially as we don’t have to drive! The choice of wineries can change, the Lanzarote bodegas included in this full day excursion during 2018 include La Geria,…
I love a visit to Los Hervideros situated along the coast from El Golfo. This stretch of Lanzarote coastline is stunning and anyone exploring Lanzarote by car or bike shouldn’t miss this section of road (LZ-703) from the Salinas de Janubio to El Golfo.

I went to the opening of the Dance Festival at the spectacular Jameos del Agua Auditorium on Saturday 3rd March 2018. The first of 4 dance events included in the Dance Festival, was the award winning performance of Silencio by Daniel Abreu. Despite the title, there was some musical background to this contemporary dance show.…
The Canary Islands host regular regional and national motor racing events, including on and off road rallies. These events are free to watch, and spectators can get close to the action. The big news for Lanzarote this year is that the XXI Rallye de Tierra Isla de los Volcanes de Lanzarote event forms part of…
The ship wreck on the shore between Arrecife and Costa Teguise catches a lot of visitors by surprise when passing along the old coastal road by the port Muelle de Los Mármoles in Lanzarote. This ship was built in London in 1954, read on if you’d like to know how she ended up beached in…
We believe that these are the top five sports bars for tourists in the holiday resort of Playa Blanca. Listed in no particular order, they all offer something a little bit different aimed at visitors in Lanzarote who want to catch up on the latest sporting action. The Irish Anvil Situated in an enviable position…
