Paradise for winter sun seekers - Lanzarote
In
part of Europe and America, the problem for people is that in winter, it is
hard to enjoy sunshine. What you can do is only stay at home to keep yourself
warm. Then, you may think of Hawaii or Marbella where you can spend a nice warm
holiday but your pocket may not agree with it. In such a situation, Lanzarote
should be your first choice where you can put yourself on the sunny beaches
with a low budget.
Lanzarote
is a Spanish island located in the easternmost of Canary Islands in the
Atlantic Ocean. It is actually the fourth largest island of the Canaries which
is 37 miles (60km) long and 12 miles (20 km) wide. It is 120 km from the coast
of Africa and it is not far from any European country which is why it is a
favorite destination for European travelers.
Lanzarote
was born out of volcano eruptions. The name of the island means "The red
mountains" and probably what you have on this island is the closest with
what you will experience on the moon. On
this island, you can enjoy picturesque scenery, peaceful villages and of course
enchanting sunshine.
Ironman Lanzarote
The
Ironman is a bike race contest held in Lanzarote every year. It is claimed to
be the toughest race which is an unrivalled test of strength, character and
mind-body excellence, just like the motto said, “Normal limits do not apply”.
As a
tourist, you can either register and participate in this event or just enjoy
it.
Travel light to Lanzarote
On 2nd
of August, Ryanair which is an Irish low-cost airline just announced that ‘Passengers
flying with Ryanair to the Canary Islands will have to pay peak season prices
for check-in baggage all year round’. It means that passengers flying to Lanzarote
have to pay £20 per bag each way; otherwise, you just travel with a handbag.
This
policy is actually to encourage the tourists to travel light. With the
checked-in bags reduced, the number of tourists increases.
