A Guide To Your Holiday To Lanzarote
Being on a budget while you are on a holiday does not limit you to just sunbathing and strolling. In fact, there are several of activities that you could surely enjoy for a very low price if you just know where and how to spend your money. This is guaranteed for you to have an exciting holiday break despite the fact that they are just cheap. One of these destinations is Lanzarote Island which is located in the northeastern Canary group of islands. With the surprisingly increasing amount of travels and tourism offering cheap flights and accommodation, Lanzarote is a great option for a cheap holiday.
Different kinds of hotels can be found on the island, which really make an impact on how much you are spending. You could even save more if you would stay on a local apartment and you will also have a chance to taste their local delicacies. The same goes for food, you may want to consider self catering as it can often save you ample amount of money in the long run for you to spend them more on other activities. Another way to save money initially when you book is to go to a budget airline and see what they are offering on flights to Lanzarote.
Talking more about the accommodations in Lanzarote, it has a large number of holiday villas available on rural and urban areas. Villas are indeed a bit pricey. For those who still want greater privacy and a more local experience than a hotel could provide, Lanzarote also has many holiday apartments available for lease at a very reasonable price. A choice is also available here: in addition to resort-style complexes with all the usual facilities close at hand, there are also apartments in more local environments where you can soak up more of the real “island vacation” atmosphere.
If you are looking for a change from the beach or poolside you have many options available to you. One of what I would say to be the best attractions on the island is Timanfaya national park, where you can witness cold water being thrown down a newly dug hole erupt back seconds later in a flurry of steam. The temperatures in this volcano covered landscape reach up to 600°C just below the surface! In fact a very unique local restaurant “el Diablo” takes great benefit of the nature of the place by providing grills directly over the hole from the ground.
However, if you prefer swimming and would really love doing it then I would suggest the Playa Grande beach which is situated right in the centre of Puerto del Carmen. This beach resort is Lanzarote’s most lively resort for it has a great place for night party just inside the resort. This busy beach is over one kilometre long and has convenient shower and changing facilities. Along with their good amenities, they also offer pedalos and banana boat if you want a more exciting stay. If you are staying in the end of Puerto del Carmen closer to Matagorda and Los Pocillos, they also have a beach with lots of sun beds available to hire and wind-breakers to stop you getting sand blasted.
