If you’ve arrived at this page, it’s because you typed “Lanzerote” into Google, along with around 39,000 other people each month.
You’ve spelt it wrong - it’s Lanzarote not Lanzerote, but don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone! read more » |

I can’t believe that we’ve never been to La Cabaña before. I’ve heard so many good things about the place, but somehow we just haven’t got around to making a booking.
Well now we finally have, and you really should do the same! La Cabaña is run by Debbie and Darren, a couple of Brit ex pats who have been on the island for around ten years. Debbie runs front of house, and Darren works alone in the kitchen. read more » |

It’s not as simple as you might think! The process is classically bureaucratic, but ultimately straightforward.
Where from? The choice isn’t as big as you might have thought, because most of the hire cars from here go back to be sold on the Spanish mainland. Most major manufacturers have dealers here, and they can be found in Arrecife, but very few of them offer second hand cars. Used cars tend to be left to the specialist used car dealers which can be found in Playa Honda and Arrecife. One thing to note is that second hand values tend to be quite high here, as there is a demand for decent used cars. A late used car can make a new one seem a bargain! Buying privately is pretty common, and you can find used cars for sale in The Gazette, Estohay magazine and online in classified adverts. If you buy from a dealer, the “transferencia” will be taken care of normally as part of the price – that’s changing the registration into your name. But if buying privately, you and the seller will have to do that job yourself. Here’s the process: read more » |

Allan and Mel, both from Costa Teguise are radio controlled model aircraft enthusiasts, and they kindly invited us along to watch them and take some photos.

On the survey we sent out to our subscribers we asked for any comments or suggestions about how we can improve Lanzarote Information. And as promised, here’s a selection, with some answers from me. Between October and April there are about 60 000 Scandinavians on the island. Is there a chance for a Scandinavian column with news and especially What's on during those Scandi months? We’d love to – can you recommend anyone to write a Scandi column? I find the way the picture loads when a page opens rather annoying. It can be annoying as many of our posts have a lot of images, and server load can be high at certain times. We’re always trying to balance quality against load speed – if you click the photos you’ll see they get much larger. We’ll try them a little smaller and see if that helps. Info. on walks Opinions on restaurants & bars Thanks! We already have all of those: Restaurants and bars. English radio stations. Info on walks. read more » |
