As a proud member of the Islas Group of Travel Guides, we're not here to sell you a holiday to Lanzarote, we do not operate any form of on-line booking service, and being totally independent from all Travel Agents and Tour Operators we derive no benefit from giving you a glossy tour operators view of the island.

Our mission is simple..., to provide you with practical first hand objective advice, from "real" paying visitors to the resorts, hotels and attractions that Lanzarote has to offer.

This web site can only be maintained with feed back from your comments. So, if you've already visited the island in the last few months, any help, comments or contributions would be greatly appreciated.

Lanzarote is the most easterly of the seven major and six smaller Canary Islands, all of which lie in the Atlantic Ocean between 60 to 190 miles from the north western coast of Africa.

Originally the Canary Islands were only a winter sun destination, but the unique combination of warm sunshine and fantastic modern holiday developments, has now firmly put Lanzarote on the holiday map 12 months of the year.

Almost one third of the island is covered by the Timanfaya National Park, which is a spectacular lava flow that was formed by a series of volcanic eruptions during the 18th and 19th Century. Volcanologists still recognise that Lanzarote is considered to be "active", although even with the best technology available to them, it still remains impossible to predict with any accuracy when the next eruptions are likely to occur.
