The Hidden Gem of Spain, Lanzarote
Spain is known for its popular tourist destinations like the lively city of Madrid and Barcelona, but the islands here are also a great place for vacation. One of them is Isla de Lanzarote or also known as Lanzarote Island. This island is a part of the Canary Islands in Las Palmas region and it has a population of around 150,000 people.
Lanzarote Island is unique because it was formed by volcanic activities and because of its uniqueness, the island is declared as a World Biosphere Reserve by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in the year 1993. The islanders here speak Spanish with Canary Island slang but most of the tour guides and people here also know how to speak basic English.
The only airport that serves the island is Lanzarote Airport and this airport handles a lot of domestic flights as well as those international ones. The climate here is stable making it a wonderful place to have a holiday in both winter and summer seasons. There is also little rainfall on this island and if it does rain, it will be in the winter which is between November and March. To travel around the island, we would like to recommend you to use car hire Lanzarote services in the airport as this is a car hire company highly rated by the tourists who come here.
The nightlife here is happening and the busiest place to be will be at Puerto del Carmen. This place has a lot of disco bars and nightclub and if you are lucky, there are also live shows being held here from time to time. The night never sleeps in this place and you can expect that it won’t subside until sunrise. Some of the popular bars for tourists in Lanzarote Island are The Scotch Corner that is a great place for families with a fabulous atmosphere and The Bodhran which is an Irish pub with a really friendly atmosphere.
Even though the island is quite small, there is also a theme park in Lanzarote. The Rancho Texas Park is an animal park located just outside Puerto del Carmen where there are animals like the really rare white tigers and pumas living in this place. You can also enjoy the western night at this park where there will be shows here filled with cowboys and Red Indians. Lanzarote has everything in a package and you will have a fabulous time by coming here for your holiday.
