Dear reader,
holiday offers each time a beautiful recovery time. I would like to tell you something about my last trip to one of the biggest canary island.

General facts
Everybody of us loves sun, fun and recreation. And we all love holidays of a very beautiful island. My last trip went to Lanzarote. It was my first time on a canary island. I have not missed Germany. It was a beautiful time of one of the biggest canary island. Beautiful weather, people and a beautyful enviroment.

Time, weather and tour
Also in November I had beautiful weather in comparison to Germany. On the first day I had done a sightseeing tour. I have seen the “Hacha Granade”. The mountain is about 560 meters high. But not only the culture is beautiful also the mentality. You can buy beautiful things.

The water
And the water is very blue and very warm. You can make a diving tour and it is very interessting if you see the coral and the rare fish where you only know from the aquarium. If you dive you forget the time very fast and you will be fascinated like me I think.

Hiking tour into the country
I also recommend a hiking tour into the mountains and the country. There you can learn a lot of the culture. Everybody can go there and will not back to home. I know you can’t imaging what I tell you but try it and you will not be disappointed.
Love

Day trip to La Graciosa

La Graciosa is a very small island neighbouring Lanzarote.

You can reach the island if you embark the ferry “El Graciosero” which departs from Orzola.

Having arrived at the harbour of Caleta, the only village on the island except for a few less inhabited settlements in the North, you can strengthen yourself in one of the lovely cafés or restaurants of the village.
In Caleta you are free to rent some bicycles in order to explore the incredible beauty of the island. The Playa Francesa in the South is the most beautiful beach on the island that you can reach via bicycle.
The water is clean and warm and the Mediterranean is relatively calm there.

Hiking on La Graciosa is very different and even more intense than bicycling.

Nevertheless it is loved and recommended by all who have ever tried. You should take a whole day to enjoy the beauty of nature on La Graciosa, an island where time seems to stand still and where all your worries will be forgotten.

Night life and leisure activities on Lanzarote

There are boiling hot temperatures and rugged lava landscapes extend all over the island. The elemental force of the earth’s core has to be experienced very closely in Lanzarote.

Lanzarote also offers a golf course for visitors and locals, it is situated at the Costa Teguise in the south. Tennis courts form part of most of the big hotel complexes, however, courts and courses for all holiday-makers are also available in holiday centres.

Who would like to discover the island by walking, can join guided groups or take his own initiative. In any case adequate shoes and sufficient water reserves should be part of the basic equipment. On a guided walk in the national park of Timanfaya one learns about the history of origins of the island and the volcanic activities.

Night life in Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise is very eventful and you can find quite a lot of bars, pubs and restaurants in which you can let die away the day.

Holiday-makers have the choice between charming little restaurants at the port promenade and numerous discos and bars in Puerto del Carmen in the south of the capital Arrecife. The shopping centre Atlanticò is particularly popular for teenagers.

In Arrecife starts evey evening a hustle and bustle round the pubs and little bars in the streets around the lagoon Charco de of San Ginés. Not before midnight anyone goes for the first discotheques, before everybody gets in mood at the Playa del Reducto.
