When to visit this wild island
As with all Canarian destinations, you can visit at any point in the year as the islands are lucky enough to experience a warm and sunny climate pretty much all year round. So you can make the most of the incredible beaches, in theory, even in December and January. While the temperatures may be lower than summer at around 20 degrees Celsius on average, this is the time to book if you are looking for cheap villas. Besides, you can still make the most of the incredible scenery and landscapes in great weather and it beats the cold back at home. There is very little rainfall and the winters are particularly mild thanks to the proximity of the Canaries next to Africa. If you are visiting in peak season which is July and August, you can expect the average temperature to be around 30 degrees Celsius, but this is when you will pay most for luxury villas. Other things to take into account when booking your holiday homes are the dates of particular festivals that are important across the island. For example, during February it is a particularly interesting time to visit, as it coincides with Carnival celebrations.
The Green Caves and other points of interest
- Cueva de los Verdes: This incredible tunnel is formed by lava and is available to explore by guided tour.
- Timanfaya National Park: Here you will observe the most amazing of the volcanic landscape with geysers and places to eat.
- Castillo de San Gabriel: A modern art museum converted from a former fortress.
- Monumento al Campesino: A farming history museum and restaurant.
- Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park: This is a theme park and zoo with water slides and great fun for all the family.
- Museo Atlántico: The ‘underwater museum’ is fantastic for divers with sculptures by Jason deCaires at the bottom.
- The Cactus Garden: A former quarry with over 1,100 species of cacti designed by César Manrique.
- Castillo de San José Charco de los Clicos: This is an incredible black sand beach which is nicknamed ‘Lago Verde’ by the islanders (Black Lake). It is a mix of black and green, and an explosive combination of colours.
- Café La Ola: Located in Puerto del Carmen, this bar is not to be missed from one of our private villas, but don’t think that you will only find mojitos, beers and pintxos here. It is a concept cafe and an artistic refuge where art exhibitions, fashion shows and outdoor concerts all take place.
- Jameos del Agua: These are a large and natural artistic work by the Canarian artist César Manrique. These Jameos are part of a huge volcanic tube that goes into the Atlantic. A ‘jameo’ part of the volcanic tube in which the roof has collapsed. It’s amazing to see!
- Hermitage of the Virgen de los Dolores: It is better known by the islanders as the Hermitage of the Volcanoes, just as its patron is known as Our Lady of the Volcanoes. You know why? Tradition has it that in one of the eruptions that have been lived on the island, the inhabitants turned to the Virgen de los Dolores and planted an image of her in front of the lava river. He stopped and to thank for the feat, they built this hermitage.
- La Graciosa: This is an island just off the coast of Lanzarote, and is a great idea if you’re looking to escape crowds of tourists. You can take the ferry here and it is virtually deserted with no paved roads.
- Masdache: We recommend staying at a finca in the surroundings of this place, which is in the national park of La Geria. You can rent villas to rent like this by the room or have the whole place to yourself.
