We received the following message from John Taylor, a resident in Lanzarote who had nothing but praise for the local general hospital Hospital Doctor José Molina Orosa when his wife required emergency treatment.
You obviously receive numerous letters in praise of the general hospital Arrecife but I felt that i needed to write this letter to emphasize their brilliant care and dedication. My wife came out to join me on a elongated holiday in October 2011 to spend time with me as I have lived on the island for two and a half years and she cares for her mother in the UK. My wife has suffered constant health problems for the last 2 years with numerous visits to the doctor & consultants in the UK with no positive outcome. She was so ill by the 10th October that I forced her to go to A & E at the General Hospital Arrecife where she was admitted. At 9:20 am the following morning they performed an emergency 5 hour operation, this was a read more » |

There are two smokehouses in Lanzarote, one in Uga and the other one in Mácher. They are both easily accessible on main road LZ2, although there are better parking facilities in Mácher. They are also less than 10 minutes apart from each other! Unfortunately neither of them do tours of the premises or tastings, which is a pity. They are shops set in very nice spots! The price of the smoked salmon is in both places €32 per kilo. In Uga the minimum purchase of Salmon is 500g. In Mácher it's sold in smaller portions, starting at 150g, then 300g & 500g.
Ahumadería de MácherIt's located just before you exit Mácher on the left hand side of the road as you head towards Yaiza, next to the El Guanche Restaurant. They also offer a selection of smoked read more » |

22nd January 2012 What a fantastic, entertaining ninety minutes of football that was played in Arrecife on Sunday. Passing from both sides was exquisite, typical of Spain’s master class race of football. The Rojillos fell behind seconds into the second half but a wonder header from Vladi and a penalty from Jotha moved Lanzarote to within three points off a playoff spot. The Conejeros (locals) began the game the most dominant. Shots from Jotha and Ayoze were well saved by ex Lanzarote keeper Marino and in the 14th minute Ayoze´s powerful drive came thundering off the crossbar.
As the half passed by Lanzarote´s opportunities became fewer as the Tenerife side demonstrated why they were serious contenders for a playoff spot. With four wins in the last five matches Atlético Granadilla were in sixth place and just two points from the playoffs. The first half ended goalless as the visitors began to hold some possession and managed to weather the initial Rojillo storm. Twenty four seconds into read more » |
