In the Canary Islands, Lanzarote has a unique feel about it. It has mainly low rise properties, all painted white, and development has been limited to prevent the island being over developed. Advertising hoardings are not allowed on the island. There are no traffic jams, traffic lights only exist in the capital, Arreciffe – it’s like driving in the UK 40 years ago!
As soon as we arrive, we’re relaxed. The first thing we do after arriving is to read our visitor book. Many returning guests, but all find time to write lovely comments. Interesting, funny, complimentary, and all going home very happy. That makes us happy too. During the last few years we have started travelling around the island. It’s a fascinating place, unlike anywhere else. In the afternoon, we head home to the pool for some serious relaxation.
We love cycling, and the whole island, especially Pto del Carmen has become very cycle friendly.
The evening is mainly about walking down to the harbour. It’s vibrant with the locals playing petanka and home to a few of our favourite restaurants. Excellent fish.
