It is tradition to eat a cake called Roscón de Reyes on the 6th January, this cake is a light ring of sweet bread with candied fruits set into the top and the centre filled with vanilla or chocolate mousse. In each cake is a tiny porcelain baby/king and a bean, if you get the baby/king you will have good luck and you wear the gold paper hat and its said if you find the bean you have to pay for the cake! We received a gift of this cake today from our neighbours with a bottle of Lanzarote moscatel, a sweet pudding wine which complemented each other perfectly. read more » |

It doesn't even appear on some maps of the island, but Charco del Palo (Paul's puddle in English!) really is a delightful place. Located on the coast at Mala - just turn right on the main road through Mala towards the ocean, Charco is not well known as it's a naturist village. This means you will see naked people both on the streets and by the sea, so if you're offended by that don't visit. read more »
