Lanzarote´s Hidden Secrets

Lanzarote is one of the seven Canary Islands that are probably best known as a package holiday hot spot. But these islands still attract plenty of more independent travellers too, as a result of the introduction of low cost flights to Lanzarote courtesy of budget operators such as easyjet and Monarch. And now it is it possible to fly from British airports to the island from as little as €100 return.

This low cost flight factor has helped to drive demand for self catering accommodation on the island. Resulting in more bookings for the owners of apartments and villas in Lanzarote. And whilst there are also plenty of attractive rural accommodation options the bulk of British tourists still prefer to organise a stay in one of the larger resorts. So driving demand for villas in Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca.

Wherever tourists decide to book their accommodation though there re still loads of hidden spots on Lanzarote that lie well off the main tourist trail.

As the island boasts loads of natural beauty spots along with plenty of cultural attractions developed by C?sar Manrique, a famous local artist. Not to mention historic little towns such as the former island capital of Teguise.
The best known sight though has to be the island’s volcanoes – 300 of which were formed during violent eruptions in the 18th century. Which transformed a large swathe of the interior into a lunar like wasteland of lava fields and burnt out volcanoes. Creating a very dry and arid terrain that is exacerbated by the climate, which has very little in the way of rainfall. So many visitors are surprised to learn that Lanzarote is home to its very own wood.

Lanzarote’s wood is called El Bosque and which can be found in the north of the island. Although it is very difficult to track down as it isn’t marked on many local maps and signposts are non existent. So ensuring that this remains a spot largely reserved for the use of the locals who love to come up here at weekends on holidays for BBQ?s and social gatherings.
