Well what a pleasant surprise, I have always shied away from the Canary Islands, ( usually for hols in Africa), in fact in recent years I have shied away from the Balearics, and this is due to me loving mainland Spain, so a long weekend in Lanzarote has been a bit of an eye opener for me.
We were far enough away from the mad nightlife, to have peace and quiet, but close enough if we wanted to dip our toes in.
Weather was exceptional and that's a huge bonus for me
Atlantic swimming is highly recommended.
Even though we were close to the airport, the 99 flights a day never really bothered up, it was just interesting to see them come in nearly piggy backing each other.
No fighting over sunbeds here, there was plenty of room for everyone, and a seawater pool too.
It was probably easier to tread in rocking horse poo, than find a Dry Martini, come on Lanzo, get with the programme!
Food in every restaurant I tried was exceptional.
Jazz Bistro in Tias/Matagorda, exception, highly recommend the Chicken breast in port and mushroom sauce. Great location , 5 minutes stumble back to the villa.
Emmas Cantina in Puerto del Carmen great service, and great Mexican food.
Serenity, Puerto del Carmen, roof top dining and a great array of food to suit all. Perfect evening out.
O'Sheas Irish Pub , Tias/ Matagorda. You know what you will be offered and it was typical pub grub. Steve and I had a roast dinner, which was great , lots of meat and good veg assortment. Service was very poor though, would not recommend in the height of summer.
Supermarkets were incredibly reasonable, and I do love a supermarket abroad.
I loved this break, and have no doubt that I will be going back again.
And next time I will venture out to see more of the island.
