Lanzarote is the most easterly of the Canary Islands and is only 60 miles from Africa.

Although it is one of the smallest Islands it still offers many different attractions for tourists and with a good selection of resorts there is always something to keep you busy.

Puerto Del Carmen is the most popular tourist destination on the Island. It offers three different areas, these are the Matagorda, Old Town and New Town which is called Avenida de Las Playas (or better known as the strip). These 3 areas are very much different to each other but all offer a good amount of bars and restaurants and of course shopping.

Matagorda is closest to the Airport, like the other 2 areas Matagorda has a large amount of bars and restaurants to choose from including it's own centre with a very good selection of restaurants. The beaches in Matagorda are golden and very long but it can get very windy. Matagorda is also the flattest part of Puerto Del Carmen. The Old Town has managed to keep the look and feel of a old Spanish village. The area is filled with many different bars and Restaurants located over the Old Town, many of which are hidden away and are difficult to find.

Holidays offer dozens of interesting excursions. Any Holiday should certainly include a visit to the Timanfaya National Park where you will find the best of amazing volcanic landscapes. Other worthwhile holiday excursions include the fascinating lava caves at Cuerva de los Verdes and Los Jameos del Agua, Guatiza with its cactus garden, the northern fishing villages of Orzola and Arrieta, and charming whitewashed inland villages like Yaiza and Tias with their typical Canarian bars and restaurants. There are plenty of boat trips to remoter beaches and day trips to the island of Fuerteventura. Children on holiday will enjoy the local Rancho Texas theme park near Puerto del Carmen and the waterpark at Costa Teguise
