2). Lanzarote Tourist By : Roberto Bell
Many people come to Lanzarote for the weather and to relax by a pool or on the beach. However Lanzarote has far more to offer tourists than its fabulous climate. No visit to this stunning volcanic island is complete without a visit to Parque Nacional de Timanfaya home of Lanzarote’s only live volcano – Montaña Del Fuego. A trip to the National Park can be made by car or organized tour however it is not possible to drive “the lunar route” – the path made by lava from the last eruption.

3). Holiday Villas in Lanzarote – What Weather can you Expect? By : Bob Dickie
You´ve chosen your beautiful luxury villa with its private pool for your holiday and are eagerly awaiting your (hopefully) break in the sun. But will the weather live up to expectations? Lanzarote lies off the west coast of Africa, about 400 miles south from the south coast of Spain, so you´d expect it to be very hot and sultry, especially in July and August where it´s very much that way in the south of Spain and the Mediterranean.

4). Lanzarote Villas - Buying for Investment By : Bob Dickie
Many people are buying property in Lanzarote purely as an investment, intending to rent out the property for as many weeks in the year as possible and also see good capital appreciation, as opposed to putting their money into pension schemes which have been performing very poorly. So how do you decide where and what properties are likely to give you.

5). Villas in Lanzarote – How to Present Them for Holiday Rental By : Bob Dickie
Many people buy a Lanzarote villa needing rental income to help to pay the mortgage and annual running costs. So it´s vital that you prepare your villa correctly for your guests so that they get maximum enjoyment from their holiday and want to return, and also tell their friends about your villa.

6). Villas in Lanzarote - The Letting Laws By : Bob Dickie
The letting laws for villas and apartments in Lanzarote and other Canary Islands have been the subject of much debate over the past few years. Many statements have been made by elected presidents of villa and apartment communities intent on stopping holiday rentals in their community in an effort to impose their will on uninformed property owners. They are largely bluffing and bullying.

7). 11 Lanzarote Beaches - Yaiza By : John Plumb
In this particular article (I have written others about beaches in other areas of the island), I will cover beaches in Yaiza, one of the seven municipalities of Lanzarote. This part of Lanzarote is occupied, principally, by the town of Playa Blanca (once a sleepy fishing village), but in the midst of a major transformation. Playa Blanca extends from.

8). 24 Lanzarote Attractions - Aqua Park, Costa Teguise By : John Plumb
Located next to the Golf course in Costa Teguise, you will find Lanzarote’s one and only Aqua Park, which is open every day from 10.00 to 18:00. Most hotels offer excursions to the Aquapark (with Ticket prices including coach transfers). If you are staying in a private villa and have hired a car, it’s relatively easy to find. Even though there are no sign posts as such, the slides can be seen from a distance due to the low lying land in the area.

9). 15 Lanzarote Beaches - Arrecife By : John Plumb
Arrecife is the smallest of the islands seven municipalities and house the islands new capital (having taken over the mantel from Teguise at the end of the 18th century). Like neighbouring San Bartholme, there are relatively few beaches in this area, although the two that follow are well a visit. Arrecife (the name originates from the abundance of reefs and islets along its short coast), has a skyline totally dominated by the islands tallest building (the Grand Hotel) which you may have seen during your approach to the airport.

11). 01 What can lanzarote offer you on your next holiday ? By : John Plumb
Where is Lanzarote ? - It is located on the eastern side of the Canary Islands and is a mere 13 miles wide and 40 miles long, so you can travel to each and every part of the island and spend the whole day not having to worry about lengthy journeys to and from excursions and one of the most appealing aspects is the climate as it offers warm temperatures and scarce rains all year around, turning it into a great place for those who wish to spend time at the beach and enjoy as many outdoor activities as possible.

Rancho Texas is located on the outskirts of Puerto del Carmen and on one of our many trips recently, we decided to spend a day out their with the children.

13). 25 Lanzarote Attractions - Teguise Golf By : John Plumb
Before telling you about my particular day out at Teguise Golf, the more avid golfers amongst you will probably want to know what views they can expect to see and the technical stuff that goes with playing golf. For me it was simply a great opportunity to spend a morning with a former work colleague (Colin) and his son (David) as they were staying in a neighbouring villa on La Goleta, part of the wider Faro Park Development.

15). 21 Lanzarote Attractions - Timanfaya By : John Plumb
The Montañas del Fuego (Fire Mountains), to give them there proper name were created in the 1730’s when more than 100 volcanos in what is now the National Park, rose up to devastate the southern part of the island. Eruptions lasted for six years and several villages were completely destroyed. The last eruption on the island was in 1824. Because Lanzarote has such low rainfall (and therefore a lack of erosion) the area appears much as it did at the time and in 1968 the area was declared a national park “Parque Nacional de Timanfaya”.

16). 26 Lanzarote Attractions – Guinate Tropical Park By : John Plumb
The Parque Tropical is open every day of the year including bank holidays from 10:00 to 17:00 hours. Admission is 14 Euros per adult and 5 Euros per child and I’d recommend allowing a half day to go around the Park, although some visitors have been know to spend the whole day there. Parque Tropical is located in the north of the the island at the foot.

17). Lanzarote Villas – What It's Like to Live in One By : Bob Dickie
So you´ve bought your beautiful Lanzarote villa in the sun and are planning to move there to stay. But is living abroad really for you? Is your new life going to be any better than what you´ve been used to in the UK? As a contributor to internet forums on Lanzarote and UK Expats, the most commonly asked question I receive is “What is it like to live in Lanzarote?" There are many people who move to Lanzarote from the UK to fulfill their dream of living in the sun, but end up going back home after just a few months disillusioned.

18). Villas in Lanzarote – Choosing an Estate Agent By : Bob Dickie
Lanzarote is a wonderful place to buy your dream villa in the sun and enjoy your holidays in the year round warm climate, but you can´t do it alone. Unless you can find a private sale, you´ll need the services of an estate agent. So how do you choose which one? Buying a villa in Lanzarote is a bit different from buying a house in the UK. Often a villa will be placed by the seller with more than one estate agent, and sometimes at different prices, so it pays to do your research and look around.

20). 17 Lanzarote Beaches - Haria By : John Plumb
Haria is the most northern of Lanzarotes seven municipalities. It can thank the Sahara Desert and strong winds for what some regard as Lanzarote finest beaches. The entire coastline is known as Malpaís de la Corona (“badlands”) and is strewn with white and golden sand which mingles intimately with volcanic magma forming small sheltered bays (a number of which are featured in this article), which are ideal for swimming.

21). 13 Lanzarote Beaches - Tinajo By : John Plumb
Tinajo is located in the central north part of Lanzarote and considered by many to have the best surfing conditions in Europe. Elements of the coastline have become synonymous with the term “The Hawaii of Europe”. The first of two beaches takes us to La Santa, in a village by the same name and developed around a natural lagoon that borders a little peninsula.

22). 22 Lanzarote Attractions - Mirador Del Rio, Jameous Del Agua and La Cueva de los Verdes By : John Plumb
It is possible to do these three attractions in a single day providing you set out early and plan your day. As we live in Playa Blanca, we travelled north on the LZ-2 via San Bartholme and Teguise into the mountains in the north where we made our first stop at the Mirador Del Rio. This is a cafeteria cut into the mountains in the north and has the most spectacular views of the island you could possible want to see, so a camera is a must.

Another option is to buy offplan, but what are the advantages and the pitfalls? Buying offplan is where you buy a new villa or apartment on a new development before it´s been built.
