La Puerte Verde in Haria – One of the best meals we had in Lanzarote. Don’t miss the tomato salad and the steak. Absolutely divine! A delicious lunch in Haria at Puerte Verde Restaurant As well as a few outdoor terraces for unobstructed views across the water, there’s a café inside the building. We grabbed coffees here and sat looking out at the views. It’s one of the best views from a café I’ve ever experienced!I’ve written a handy guide to visiting Mirador del Rio which I’d recommend reading before your visit. Cool architecture inside Mirador del Rio. You can see Manrique’s influence! Enjoy the Sunday buzz in Teguise

Los Hervideros

Lanzarote’s Montañas del Fuego spent six consecutive years erupting during the 18th century, destroying 26 villages and a third of the island’s best farmland. Now, the Timanfaya National Park is Lanzarote’s biggest tourist attraction. Dedicated buses snake among lava flows and up steep-sided craters, and guides demonstrate that although this volcanic landscape is classed as dormant, a chamber of boiling magma 4km below the surface will create a man-made geyser if a bottle of water is tipped into a fissure. More remote corners of the park can be explored by camel or on guided hikes — unescorted walks aren’t permitted, for your own safety. Rural Lanzarote offers a chance to escape into a more tranquil life, with beautiful villages both inland and on the coast. There are boutique hotels, as well as apartments and villas to rent. Summary The standard local greeting is a kiss on both cheeks, but handshakes are fine too especially if they know that you are a tourist. There are plenty of decent, family orientated apartment complexes in Costa Teguise which offer good value accommodation, such as Los Zocos and El Sirocco. We alsooffer a small selection of privately owned holiday apartmentsin Costa Teguise. The Property Market Around four hours flying time from the UK, the island is the closest genuine winter sun destination to home. It boasts the most amazing volcanic scenery, forged by six-year eruptions during the 1730´s,leaving about one quarter of the island submerged beneath a sea of solid lava.

Playa Chica: Popular with locals, this small beach, sheltered by volcanic reefs offers great snorkelling and diving.If you want to catch a more modern and metropolitan side of Lanzarote then visit Arrecife, the island's capital. Here you will find a lively port city, shaped both by its seafaring past and its current, rapid regeneration.
