1. Lanzarote

Stop

About the destination: Situated just 79 miles off the coast of Africa, Lanzarote is the most easterly of the Canary Islands. As with the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote is Volcanic in origin. Due to the recent eruptions during the 18th and 19th Centuries, many parts of Lanzarote appear to be from another world, often described as 'lunar' or 'Martian'. Amongst the many stunning volcanic features of Lanzarote is the longest Volcanic Tunnel in the world, the Atlantida Tunnel, which is over 7 km long and includes the La Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua. Despite the Volcanic nature of the island, Lanzarote has several beautiful white beaches such as those at Playa Blanca, Papagayo and Caleton Blanco. Alternate lying on the beach with visits to the extraordinary sights created in the volcanic landscape by local artist and environmentalist César Manrique. Don’t miss a tour of the Timanfaya national park either. Take the boat over to the island of La Graciosa off the northern tip for a blissful day swimming in crystal clear water. Visit some of the vineyards in La Geria and hire bikes to test your stamina on some of the excellent cycling routes around the island. The capital city, Arrecife, where cruise ships dock, is uncharismatic but welcoming. South-west of here is the main resort of Puerto del Carmen. It is a buzzing place with a long, tiled promenade linking four miles of beaches and bays. It is ideal for a family with teenagers looking for a bit of excitement, or for holidaymakers who require a dose of shopping, eating out and nightlife. Costa Teguise, on the other side of Arrecife, is a more modest and peaceful alternative which has gone steadily more upmarket in recent years. It tends to appeal to an older generation.

Stay

About the destination: Playa Blanca is located in the south of Lanzarote and in recent years has consolidated as the third tourist enclave of the island. Awarded on several occasions for its neatness, this pleasant and quiet area is ideal for the rest of the family. Playa Blanca has a varied hotel offer and a flourishing service environment: bars, restaurants, shops ... and one of the best marinas in Lanzarote. Very close to it are the beaches of Papagayo where white sand and crystal clear water appear among the cliffs. On the promenade of Playa Blanca, on the outskirts of the old town, you will find all kinds of restaurants, shops and bars, as well as on the streets parallel to the promenade. Another area to visit is the marina, plagued by quality services and recently built. In this area you will also find a new shopping center where you can shop. As for the beaches, it is worth mentioning the touristy Playa Dorada and Playa Flamingo, with fine white sand and very close to the main hotels in the area. But it is certainly the beaches of Papagayo that take the palm. A framework of coves of fine white sand that will delight your visitors. It can be accessed by foot or by bike, but the distance is great, so it is recommended to access these coves by car (being a nature reserve we will be required a "toll" per car A few minutes away from Playa Blanca you will find some of the most emblematic places of the island, such as the Timanfaya National Park, La Geria, Salinas de Janubio, El Golfo (the green lagoon), Los Hervideros or the cozy village of Yaiza. You can also visit the town of Las Breñas, from where you will have a breathtaking view of Playa Blanca and Fuerteventura in the background. From Playa Blanca you can also embark to get to know the nearby island of Fuerteventura, taking a boat trip of about 25/35 minutes depending on the ferry you choose. The huge beaches of Corralejo with its white dunes and crystal clear water will make the visit to Fuerteventura worthwhile.
