Things to do

Lanzarote

Memorable moment...

Marvel at the striking craters and landscapes of one of the world's most famous natural wonders, the live Fire Mountain. As dusk settles, climb high into the mountains to capture mellow sunsets creeping between distant islands.

Things to do

Visit Atlantida Tunnel, the world's longest volcanic tunnel. Set foot into another world and explore the arid landscapes of Timanfaya National Park; the filming location of Hollywood blockbuster Planet of the Apes. Definitely worth a visit is Jameos del Agua, the world's largest lava cave; transformed by the world-acclaimed artist César Manrique, this roofless volcanic bubble houses restaurants, gardens, swimming pools and much more.

Beaches

Lanzarote's beaches are renowned for their striking beauty and contrast. Discover white sandy beaches in the north and dramatic, black volcanic sands in the south. Two definite must-sees are the golden coves of Playas de Papagayo, considered by many to be Lanzarote's most beautiful beaches, and Famara Beach, famous for its surf.

Food and drink

On one hand you'll find authentic Spanish restaurants serving good-value home cooking; try Sancocho, a traditional fish stew; potatoes baked in salt water; local Mojo sauce; and serrano ham. On the other hand there are plenty of international restaurants, along with expat restaurants offering a taste of home, with full English breakfasts and Sunday roasts. Local wine from the La Geria region is the perfect complement to any meal. Try the Semiseco wines or, for a drier taste, try the Seco.

Evening Flavour

Puerto del Carmen has a vibrant nightlife, with over 100 bars and plenty of discos, many staying open until 5 or 6am, depending on the season. In other resorts the nightlife is more laid-back.

Top

Shopping

Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen both offer numerous shopping opportunities, from chic boutiques to souvenir shops. Every Sunday, in the ancient capital of La Villa de Teguise, there is a market selling everything from trinkets to local breads and cheeses.
