Discover the Heart of Lanzarote
Lanzarote has been welcoming foreign tourists ever since the package holiday industry first started up in the early 1970´s. Proving popular thanks to a classic combination of breathtaking beaches and incredible weather. However Lanzarote can offer visitors much more than just sand and sun alone. Thanks to the fact that development here is carefully controlled – leaving the bulk of the island largely untouched.
Much like other islands in the Canaries there is a pronounced north-south divide on Lanzarote. With tourist development and the main resorts confined to the south – which enjoys the best of the weather. Whilst the north remains the domain of the locals, with less development and a cooler climate.
Over the last decade more and more independent travellers have started to visit Lanzarote. A result of the growth of the internet and the trend to browse and book holidays online. This trend has increased interest in self catering accommodation such as Lanzarote villas and apartments – at the expense of package holiday deals and hotels. With holiday villas in Puerto del Carmen – the islands largest resort – proving very popular with tourists from the UK and Eire.Information about holiday villas in Puerto del Carmen is available here
Outside the large resorts in the south there is an unspoilt island with a strong agricultural past. A well as loads of off the beaten track attractions. All of which are best explored by booking a car and heading out on tour.
One of the best ways to connect with this side of the island is to drive to Haria, a picture perfect village which has been described by a well known Canarian author as the prettiest pueblo on the island if not the world. Whilst the latter may be little wide of the mark Haria is certainly a real green gem – as it is much more verdant than the south of the island and boasts much more in the way of flora and fauna as a result. Helped along by the locals who also plant a Canarian palm for every new baby in the village – a tradition which now dates back for many centuries.
