Days and Nights out in Lanzarote

Sept. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- The constant promise of sunshine brings tourists to the Canary Islands all year round. Popular among tourists from all countries and corners of the globe to bask on their sun drenched beaches and glistening white sands.

While there's no denying the appeal of the beach here, with their sweeping stretches of sands and pastoral crystalline waters, yet there is a point of distinction as with all of Lanzarote due to its volcanic history.

The volcanoes have shaped the whole Island of Lanzarote offering a unique landscape, bearing the scars of its fiery history proudly and beautifully. At a modest 60 by 20 kilometres in land space it is fairly easy to take in much of what Lanzarote has to offer with out spreading yourself too thin, a journey from one end of the island to the other takes only around two hours.

If you are renting one of the Lanzarote villas this summer here are some suggestions for how to spend your days, evenings and night times.

Day Trips
The Timinafaya national park is a vital destination for all that wish to see how the volcanoes have shaped this distinctive land. You will need roughly a whole day to take in the whole place, to absorb the sights and feeling in this strange terrain. While certain points of this area are prohibited to human feet, there are may ways to get around including bus tours and camel trails.

For many the highlight of this day trip is a journey in to El Diablo, the parks famous lava fuelled barbecue a novel and strange culinary experience.

If you are up for a quick ferry journey, it takes you 40 minutes to get to Orzola, a haven of little beaches and sandy shores. Yet if you wish to stay more in land then head north Papayago

Papayago is a white sand beach in the north of the island that is a big pull to a number of tourists, it has beautiful clear waters perfect for snorkeling. The sand is surrounding by towering cliffs that seem to engulf the beach as if a cove.

Dining
With the sun descending to a seeping orange in the evenings here, Lanzarote is perfect for a nice evening lounging over a long meal, with a few glasses of wine to wash down the local cuisine.

As to be expected with many Island the cuisine here is seafood rich, with many great fish variant dishes. Much of the cuisine here is similar to southern Spain with tapas being popular throughout the island. There are many tellingly Canarian additions to the tapas archetype with crinkled potatoes proving particularly popular, served with moo sauce.

Nights Out
In Puerto Del Carmen you will find a neon wilderness designed for nocturnal types with a thirst for partying, though with a much more refined atmosphere than many other destination in the Canary Islands. The bars and clubs try to cater to as many tastes as possible making this a diverse and colourful night out, though you will not find any form of night life that could be called 'Spanish'. For more traditional nights try Arrecife.
