Lanzarote Holidays Guide

Lanzarote is one of the Canary Islands greatest attractions. Average daytime temperatures for the summer are in the high twenties yet Lanzarote is still hot in the winter. January day time temperatures are above 20° celcius making Lanzarote the ideal winter destination. Rain is a rare event although a pullover is recommended for winter nights.

The canary island of Lanzarote is small, only 12 miles wide and 37 miles long. It is situated just 70 odd miles off the coast of Africa the reason for its magnificant climate. The island is of volcanic origin and is home to the Timanfaya national park one of the most visited parks in Spain. Its dry climate and new volcanic landscapes give Lanzarote an interesting charachter. Lanzarote has some of the best white sand beaches in the Canary Islands owing to deposits of sand from the Sahara desert. These make an interesting alternative to the dark volcanic beaches also on the island.
