Destinations Lanzarote : Costa teguise, Playa Blanca, Playa de los Pocillos, Puerto Calero, Puerto del Carmen,
A film-maker's dream, Lanzarote has a unique volcanic landscape of cone-shaped mountains and oddly sculpted rocks. Choose from the low-key resort of Playa Blanca for elegant hotels and easy access by ferry to Fuerteventura, Costa Teguise for powder-soft sand or Playa de los Pocillos, on the outskirts of busy Puerto del Carmen. We recommend hiring a car to visit Yaiza, which has been voted the prettiest village in Spain.

This comprehensive pocket-sized guide of Lanzarote contains a wealth of useful information, travel tips and recommendations for the first-time traveller who wants to experience the major highlights that Lanzarote has to offer. It concisely summarizes the island's "must see" areas in a practical and user-friendly format, to help visitors to make the most of their time. The informative text is complemented by photographs, charts and tables and easy-to-read maps and town plans, and the fold-out map highlights scenic routes, shows nature reserves, parks, hiking trails and places of interest. It includes seven town plans of major tourist centres, showing hotels, climate charts, distance charts and calendars of events. The guide also provides three-star grading of tourist attractions, colour-coded for easy reference, and practical information on getting around, accommodation, restaurants and tours, as well as contact numbers.

Walk! Lanzarote (Walk)  -  by David Brawn, Rosamund Coreen Brawn
Walk! Lanzarote explodes the myth that there is nowhere worth walking on the island as we range through strolling on coastal promenades, walking across 'alpine' style meadows (yes, really), striding over the lava sea, dropping into volcanoes, sitting on 'high mountain seats' - quite simply you will be amazed at the wide variety of stunning landscapes the 'Fire' island has to offer the adventurous leisure walker.
Surprisingly new developments have improved the walking on Lanzarote. A new coastal walkway has been built around the airport meaning that you can walk all the way from Puerto del Carmen to the centre of Arrecife without crossing a road. A new coastal promenade and hotel at Puerto Calero have simplified our Coastal Discovery route, while a new coastal promenade at Playa Blanca takes us to the edge of the desert. From strolling around historic Teguise to struggling up Guadilama there is something for everyone amongst our 32 routes. If you want to go further, routes range from 1 to 6 hours long, you can link our matrix of routes together.
