U.D. Lanzarote’s recent good form has turned sour following this home loss and only being able to gather one point in their last four games.

Neither side threatened in the opening stages with the only danger coming from dead ball situations. The side from Castilla-La-Mancha region of Spain were playing the better football and were passing the ball around with comfort. Lanzarote on the other hand seemed desperate for a goal and impatiently kept on playing the long ball looking to release striker Jonathon Torres. The winning goal came in the 27^th minute. A clearance by the Brazilian defender Andrés Gasparini was charged down by striker Acorán, the ball fell between the striker and the Lanzarote goalkeeper Vilches, the Lanzarote keeper hesitated then tackled the striker and as the ball broke loose both players raced and challenged again but Vilches just managed to get a toe on the ball but the Puertollano striker went down. Somewhat dubiously the Ref blew for a foul and a penalty kick.  read more »

Artist Regina Lott has an exhibition of paintings and drawings currently on show 'Mi Lanzarote' in the Sala El Aljibe, Haria.

If you are visiting the island and are unfamiliar with the place, this is great exhibition to see as it's almost like a trip round the landscapes and countryside of Lanzarote. The imagery clearly depicts various scenes from the lava fields and volcanoes, in striking colour and bold compositions. Spiky cactus, palm trees and the traditional Lanzarote houses are shown, set in amazing landscape. The larger pieces on show include many elements in one composition, patterns of fields, rows of plants, crops and flowers in bloom.  read more »
