Lanzarote’s wine region is unique as it’s been created on volcanic soil. This comes with difficulties as the vines need a water source as well a requiring protection from the wind. To combat these issues, vines are individually planted in deep burrows, and have small walls built around them. Vines in Lanzarote grow in a unique way Stay in northern Fuerteventura to soak up the surf vibe in El Cotillo, Corralejo and Lajares, hike to tiny, beach-side Majanicho, take a day trip to the near-deserted Isla de Lobos (for snorkelling, paddleboarding and more) and get away from it all in the dune-lined Parque Natural de Corralejo. Around 15km south of Corralejo, La Oliva is known for its historical architecture and the Centro de Arte Canario Casa Mané, devoted to Canarian greats. One of the best ways to explore Costa Teguise is to take a stroll along the seafront promenade, which will take you past all of the five main beaches and towards the Las Maretas Palace, originally built for King Hussein of Jordan and now used by visiting dignitaries such as the King of Spain and former Prime Minister Zapatero, who is a regular visitor to the island. Costa Teguise Weather Arrecife is home to around one third of the island’s inhabitants, with a population of some 45,000 and boasts shopping galore, beaches, parks, promenades, nightlife and all of the attendant urban hustle and bustle.Puerto del Carmen is Lanzarote’s busiest resort for nightlife, though you may be disappointed if you are expecting a wild Club 18-30-style experience – especially outside the busy summer season. Nightlife is centred around the Old Town Harbour (for thirty-somethings) and the Disco-bars in Centro Atlantico on the main strip (for the younger crowd). There are also numerous Irish Bars scattered around the resort. Beaches Playa Grande, Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote The last eruption was in 1824, so don’t fear about activity while you’re there! The bus tour is amazing as you pass through skinny cavernous like areas, see right inside craters, take in views of desert dunes and endless landscapes of lava fields. As a little tip, I’d recommend sitting on the right side of the bus. This side offers better views on the whole, although you might see more of the craters from the left side. You’ll see geysers in Timanfaya National Park Most visits to La Palma start with the 47 sq km Parque Nacional de la Caldera de Taburiente, whose scented pine forests sprawl around the Caldera de Taburiente depression (accessed from El Paso or Los Llanos). Hiking here is a Canary Islands highlight, especially around the Barranco de las Angustias, the Roque de los Muchachos and the 1,854m-high Pico Bejenado. There’s more walking among the Los Tilos laurel forests in north-east La Palma. Take a dip in the saltwater pools in nearby San Andrés, with its 16th-century church.
