Hot Winter Holidays in Lanzarote

Written by MichaelZ on March 31, 2009 – 10:33 pm -

The Canary Islands are Europe´s only genuine winter sun destination. At just under four or so flying time from the UK these seven specks of Spain enjoy temperatures in excess of 20C all year round. Thanks to their location just 70 miles off the coast of Africa.

Lanzarote is the eastern most link in the Canary Island chain and has long been a top choice destination with British and Irish tourists. And despite failing airlines, the falling pound and the current bleak economic outlook the Island of Fire is still a hot ticket. As traveller numbers to the island have just kept on rising.

UK tourist continue to flock to the island and as a result demand for Lanzarote villas and apartments has remained relatively stable. Whilst property prices have also started to fall on the island it is less noticeable than in other european destinations.

This is most likely because to the fact that Lanzarote has much more to offer tourists than just sunshine alone though. As the island boasts a unique volcanic scenery, idyllic beaches, a host of natural attractions and some of the most unusual tourist sites found anywhere in the world. All of which is largely thanks to an island born artist and architect called Cesar Manrique.

sensitive to the damage that this could cause to his birthplace Manrique returned home to ensure that his beloved Lanzarote was not buried beneath a sea of five star concrete.

As a result of his efforts Lanzarote has largely been spared the type of over development now commonly found in other Spanish sun spots and other Canary Islands resorts. High rise buildings are banned, advertising hoardings are outlawed and all of the islands three main tourist resorts are well contained.

The artist and architect also sought to create an alterative to the water parks and golf courses that were built as tourist attractions elsewhere in Spain.

In tandem with close collaborators such as Jesus Soto he lit an alternative path for island development with the creation of sites such as the Jameos del Agua, which embodied his desire to fuse art with nature.
