With the all the snow we have had recently and not much sign of spring arriving any time soon I needed to get some Vitamin D. My parents travel to Lanzarote several times each year and absolutely love it, it’s their home from home. When they told me they had booked up to go again at the end of March I decided to join them. With a short flight time of just over 4 hours and good weather almost guaranteed it was an easy decision to make.
Lanzarote is such an affordable holiday destination with sun all year round almost guaranteed however I think sometimes there is a negative perception around the Canary Islands and a lot of people are put off by this. I wanted to share my experience of Lanzarote with you all so that you can see that there’s more to this Spanish island than meets the eye.

Places to visit:
There are so many different things to do on the island but I have selected my top 5 places to visit to make sure you make the most of your time in Lanzarote.
Spanish Phrases:
Although most of the people on the island speak English I always think it’s nice to have few Spanish phrases up your sleeve just in case. I drop these into conversation when speaking to locals and they really appreciate it – although I don’t always understand what they are saying back!!
Good Morning – Buenos Dias (bway nos dee ahs)
Good Evening – Buenas Noches (bway nahs noh chayss)
Please – Por Favor (por fah vohr)
Thank you – Gracias (grah cee ahs)
Do you speak English? – Habla Ingles (ahblah een glays)
I would like the bill please – Yo quiero la cuenta por favour (Yo kee ayr oh lah cwayn tah por fah vohr)
