Explore the Hidden Side of Lanzarote
Sun, sea, sand, cheap flights and culture. What more could the independant traveller want from a holiday apart from some great accommodation to make for that perfect holiday. Lanzaorte is one of the Canary Islands that have become a favourite with the growing community of independant tourist.
This low cost flight factor has helped to drive demand for self catering accommodation on the island. Resulting in more bookings for the owners of apartments and villas in Lanzarote. And whilst there are also plenty of attractive rural accommodation options the bulk of British tourists still prefer to organise a stay in one of the larger resorts. So driving demand for villas in Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca.

There are however plenty of locations on the island that remain well off the main tourist trail for those who like to get out and explore. As Lanzarote is home to a host of natural wonders and plenty of unique man made attractions too. As well as lots of pretty villages and towns.
The best known sight though has to be the island’s volcanoes – 300 of which were formed during violent eruptions in the 18th century. Which transformed a large swathe of the interior into a lunar like wasteland of lava fields and burnt out volcanoes. Creating a very dry and arid terrain that is exacerbated by the climate, which has very little in the way of rainfall. So many visitors are surprised to learn that Lanzarote is home to its very own wood.
Lanzarote’s wood is called El Bosque and which can be found in the north of the island. Although it is very difficult to track down as it isn’t marked on many local maps and signposts are non existent. So ensuring that this remains a spot largely reserved for the use of the locals who love to come up here at weekends on holidays for BBQ
