Places To Stay In Lanzarote
Lanzarote is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Spain. Although it is in fact located a long way south of the Spanish mainland – and is part of the Canarian archipelago, which is located around 80 miles off the Atlantic coast of Africa.
The seven islands that comprise the Canaries are separated into two main zones. The western Canaries – which revolve around the main island of Tenerife and which also include El Hierro, La Gomera and La Palma. And the eastern Canaries – which are governed from Gran Canaria and which also encompass Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
However despite being all part of one single autonomous region these islands are in fact all very different. Lanzarote for example is very much drier and more barren than the other islands in the archipelago. The result of very low rainfall and a desert climate – which is little surprise as the outer reaches of what was once the Spanish Sahara are just 100 miles away. So the weather is very warm here but can feel chilly once the sun has set.
The barren feel of the island is further increased by the fact that much of the interior of Lanzarote was obliterated by volcanic eruptions in the 18th century. With fields of lava wiping out farmland and trees – leaving a lunar like wasteland in its wake. Which is today by far the most popular attraction on the island as a well as a popular location with science fiction film makers.
Holiday accommodations on the island is mostly in plentiful supply but if you’re planning on booking one of the local Lanzarote holiday villas you should try to book as soon as possible mainly because the best villas are likely to go first, and you just won’t want to be the person who is going to be disappointed.
Local tourist authorities estimate that approximately half of all visitors book hotels in Lanzarote. With hundreds to choose from across the island – offering all types of tariffs from room only to all inclusive. With the most other visitors renting private rental accommodation, such as Lanzarote villas or apartments.
There are three main tourist resorts on the island – but during the winter months Playa Blanca in the south of the island really comes into its own. As the weather in this part of Lanzarote is warmer during December and January. Making this the ideal spot for anyone in search of winter sun.
As a result accommodation such as hotels and villas in Playa Blanca are in demand – especially during December and January. And the resort also offers wonderful beaches – such as the fine stretches of sand at Playa Dorada and Playa Flamingo. Whilst the awe inspiring sight of the Fire Mountains – Lanzarote´s 300 plus volcanoes – are just a short ten minute drive away.
