Flights to Lanzarote

Charming coves of white sand and black lava rock dotted together make up Caletón Blanco. On the north of the island, it can be a little windy but is great for those with smaller children thanks to natural splash pools that appear thanks to the sea tide.

Nestled between lava rocks, Papagayo Beach is one of the most famous beaches and a must visit on the Island. White fine sand and crystal-clear waters make the beach perfect for those who like to sunbathe, swim, snorkel or like to have a mid-morning or afternoon stroll during their relaxing days. The beach is made up of a series of little beaches in a shell-like bay that creates calm waters. One to add to your Lanzarote to do list.

Backed by breathtaking cliffs on the northwest coast of the island is Playa de Famara. The beach is a mixture of fine sand and volcanic rock. The long beach can be fairly windy at times due to its location and this means that the sea offers perfect waves for surfing. Not recommended for those that can't swim.

Bocadillo de Pascado is best described as a fish butty! Consisting of thinly sliced fillet of white fish that is coated in breadcrumbs and fried served in a bread roll with a generous helping of aioli. A beautiful breakfast or lunch time dish.

Mojo Picón is the Canary Islands signature sauce and literally eaten with anything. It’s a must at every table no matter what dinner you're enjoying. Made with olives, oil, garlic, paprika, cumin and vinegar a delicious accompaniment to any meal.

The national dish of Lanzarote is Papas Arrugás, traditionally cooked potatoes cooked in super salty seawater baked until wrinkly. They are perfect when served with some of the Mojo Picón sauce.

Casa José Saramago, was the home of the famous Portuguese writer José Saramago who won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1998. The writer died in 2010 and his house became his refuge over the last years of his life. The house feels like it's been untouched since then, as if he still lives there. The library is particularly poignant and gives you a real sense of the life he lived. For all your literary fans this is a place not to be missed

Four miles of Lava tubes make up La Cueva de los Verdes. These tubes were formed thousands of years ago with the eruption of Monte Corona. One mile of the caves with their majestic colours and dynamic shapes can be explored by visitors. Such an interesting sight to see and one not to be missed.

César Manrique and Jesús Soto, famous artists and architects designed and built the famous Lagomar Museum. Built around a cliff of hardened lava rock it appears that the building just emerges out of the volcanic crater. The interior boasts lava tube corridors and cave rooms. The architecture is very much like a theme of Arabian nights. It's recommended that you plan your visit to be there over sunset to witness the amazing colours when the sunset paints the rocks red and creates a stunning sunset view. 

Jameos Del Agua, is a must see on the island. A series of Lava caves where nature and mankind have come together to make the most picturesque area of the island. A park built in a cave with an underground lake that’s home to blind crabs, a local species. The caves are said to be a place where peace and quiet, harmony and beauty prevail. The caves enjoy amazing acoustic features with amazing geological features. Home to a pristine water pool and the never-ending Atlántida tunnel. Another masterpiece by César Manrique and a one to add to your Lanzarote to do list.

Timanfaya National Park, the biggest attraction on the island. 5,000 hectares of volcanoes stunning red and black lava fields on the west coast of the island can easily be mistaken for an outer space landscape. It’s considered to be the most spectacular natural sight in the Canary Islands. Given the status 'biosphere reserve protected site' by UNESCO it's truly a magnificent sight. There are lots of activities on offer when you visit including feeling the heat from the dormant volcano. Feeling adventurous a great way to enjoy the volcanic environment is a camel trek to get you as up close and personal as possible. This MUST be added to your Lanzarote to do list.
