The Canary Islands are the second most visited region of Spain after Catalonia and whilst the rest of the country is now packing away the sun loungers for another year, these seven specks of Spain are just gearing up for their busiest time of the year as hundreds of thousands of sun starved Northern Europeans will be planning and booking holidays in the Canaries over the coming weeks.

Lanzarote is the most easterly island in the archipelago located closer to the coast of Morocco than the rest and boasting very low rainfall and temperatures that will hit 20 Celsius plus throughout the winter months. 

Whilst there are three main resorts on the island the best choices for anyone keen to maximise their sunshine hours are the two main resorts of Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca.  Which both enjoy a more southerly location.

Playa Blanca is situated right at the bottom tip of the island – just across the Bocaina Straits from Fuerteventura – offers some of the most breathtaking beaches on Lanzarote, such as the all-natural set of bays at Papagayo, which are located around fifteen minutes walk from the town centre.

Until around fifteen years ago Playa Blanca really was no more than a quaint little fishing village.  But today all that has changed as it has become the fastest growing resort on Lanzarote and the second most popular destination on the island. It offers high standards of accommodation with a wide selection of four star hotels and luxurious holiday villas for visitors to select from.

Puerto Del Carmen is located around twenty minutes back along the island’s south eastern coastline and whilst the microclimate here isn’t quite as reliable as in Playa Blanca, tourists can still expect to enjoy plenty of days on the beach during the winter months.

Puerto Del Carmen is the oldest and most popular resort on Lanzarote offering a big range of restaurants, bars and clubs.  Accommodation in the resort is dominated by apartment complexes specialising in good value sunshine breaks.

A weeks stay on a typical holiday complex here starts at around £180 per week, which is the price per apartment and not per person.  Factor in reasonably priced flights – with major players such as Ryanair and easyJet now competing on the Lanzarote route – and it’s easy to construct a good value winter break.
