Our guest arts reviewer, Norman Warwick, has been enjoying music on the island again. In a week when the mountains and valleys were still a remarkably lush green, we took a meandering late afternoon drive into Arrecife to find flashes of colour daubed and mixed on the landscape’s pallet. How such muted colours on so…
We’ve attended several weddings at Amura in Puerto Calero, and it’s just the most wonderful setting for couples to tie the knot! Weddings can be conducted on the private balcony upstairs, and then everyone can enjoy a fabulous meal at one of Lanzarote’s most respected culinary hotspots. Amura celebrate more than 60 weddings each tear,…

Here’s another review from Norman Warwick, after he visited Manrique’s El Almacen in Arrecife to enjoy a concert. Two and a half years after settling on the island we are delighted to be still finding new, to us, venues for disparate art forms in exhibition or in concert, introducing wonderful new, to us, artists. We…
This is a guest article by Glenda Young, who asked if she could share her thoughts with you all following a recent visit to the island. The author on Famara Beach and Penelope Cruz in the same location from the film Broken Embraces (Los Abrazos Rotos) Last night we returned from our seventh visit to…
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…
Famara’s spectacular beach is famous for surfing, what could be better than learning to surf in the “Hawaii of Europe” during your holiday in Lanzarote. Choose from a single surf lesson to have a go, or get stuck in with a 3-5 day course. Learn how to paddle out, get the right position to catch…
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. The tarmac cuts a smooth path through the inhospitable lava flow,…
