Lanzarote Travel Guide
Lanzarote Local History
Lanzarote, the tranquil island, as it is known by the Spanish, has remained a perfect idyllic island in the sun with little tourist exploitation and high-rise buildings. It is only in the last few decades that the landscape is beginning to show signs of modern development, but it is still a lovely place where visitors can find the peaceful lifestyle for which it is famed.
Lanzarote Attractions
Top Attractions
Powerhouse Rock Bar - Playa Blanca's and Lanzarote's only true rock bar , true metal heaven! Check out the awesome METALHEAD playing at least 2 nights a week there.
WAX Bar - A great bar just up from the beach ... this is where all of the young locals (reps etc.) meet and so there is always a nice vibe here! With free wi-fi as well it was great for me to keep in touch with my mates whilst I was away!
Lanzarote Parks & Gardens
Parque Nacional de Timanfaya - The Fire Mountains, as Lanzarote's national park is known, continues to erupt and the landscape is a barren expanse of solidified blackened lava and copper 'hornitos' (mud volcanoes), resembling some strange lunar vista.
Lanzarote Restaurants and Bars
The typical Canarian cuisine is a blend of Guanche, Spanish, and Latin American food, with bananas and 'gofio', a grain staple playing leading role in menus.
Pizzerias and cheap restaurants abound in Arrecife, and finding a quiet place frequented by the locals is easy and worthwhile.
Lanzarote Restaurants
Castillo de San Jose Restaurant & Bar - Located in Arrecife, this beautiful place situated below the modern art museum, just out of town, is an attraction in itself. Built into the castle's lines and made almost entirely out of glass it is worth visiting both for the view it provides and to appreciate the beauty of its design.
El Diablo - Located in the Parque Nacional de Timanfaya, designed by Cesar Manrique, this restaurant utilizes the heat of the volcano to fire its grill. From the dining room, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the mountains and the sea.
Lanzarote Bars & Clubs
The street - C. Jose Antonio Ribera is filled with small, lively bars and restaurants, which are packed with young locals, and pub-crawling expats, and provide most of the nightly entertainment in Arrecife.
El Convento - C. Jose Antonio Ribera, 76. There is very little religious zeal in this bar, but whole lot of spirits... and beers. Crowds pack out El Convento and it is one of the most popular venues on the island.
Goa Goa Bar - Also located on C. Jose Antonio Ribera, this is where the tanned and gorgeous crowd meet to check each other out.
