Lanzarote
The
lovely island of Lanzarote is the most easterly of the Canary islands
situated 70 miles off the African coast. The islands economy is now
mainly tourism which has taken over from it's agricultural and fishing
past. Many of Lanzarotes resorts have grown up around it's old fishing
villages and most of the recent development has been done sympathetically,
many of Lanzarote's holiday resorts retain their original character
and charm.
One
of the main reasons for the popularity of Lanzarote and indeed all the
Canary island its the wonderful all year round climate, average temperature
of around 22C is normal for the island.
The town
of Arrecife is Lanzarotes capital and is home to over half the islands
population as well as being the center for political and commercial
life.
Lanzarote's
holiday resorts are some of the best that the Canary islands have to
offer: These include Puerto del Carmen which is possibly the most visited
of the islands resorts, as well as having one of the longest beaches
on the island (over six kms of golden sand) Puerto del Carmen offers
first class accommodation and an excellent selection of bars and restaurants.
