Should You Visit Lanzarote? - Canary Islands

At 20.40 the stone bowls with the troughs of water are water purifiers. In old houses there is always a niche with a hollow stone called a pila. There are traces of volcanic mud in the porous stone and a fern called culantrillo is encouraged to grow on it. You can see the plants growing in the vid. The plants and the porous stone purify water which is collected below. There are lots of water saving traditions and devices here, as it so rarely rains.

Hello! I'm from Lanzarote, thank you for promoting my island and showing the different places there are. I would like to tell you that the next time you go to "los hervideros" is a place near the "lago de los ciclos" (the green lake). It's free and it's amazing to see. Another place I always recommend, and it is very unknown, is the "Centro de Visitantes e Interpretación de Timanfaya" (Timanfaya Visitor and Interpretation Centre). It explains how Timanfaya works inside, as well as a simulation of an eruption. Best regards

I'm originally from Lanzarote. Born and raised there for 18 years, I now live in Scotland

The bus journey through Timanfaya was incredible when I went, well worth it. Saw some of the most craziest and wonderfully untouched landscapes - it was like being on Mars.

Great video, Tim. One small thing about Timanfaya is the bus tour is included in the entrance fee - you just get on one of the buses at the top of the car park and you get a 45 minute bus tour round the rest of the park. Also, if you are going to visit multiple attractions, you can get a 6 centre ticket for £35 which covers the cactus gardens, Timanfaya, James Del Agua, Cuevas de Los Verdes, Mirador del Rio and museum castle San Jose, which is a massive saving on individual entrance fees (you have 14 days from first attraction to visit them all)

We loved it in Lanzarote, been numerous time and stayed in the area you've just covered. We stayed near the San Antonio hotel on the outskirts of Puerto del Carmen near Los Pocillos where you started your video. Some fantastic restaurants from Eastern European to British fish and chips. The Bollywood Indian restaurant was our favourite tho absolutely fantastic. We used to have a steady walk down to the old town and harbour to watch the Manta Rays eat the scraps from the fishing boats. Lovely restaurants around the harbour area too. Anybody going to Lanzarote must do the Volcano trip around the lunar landscape to the green lagoon a bit of wine tasting and a ride on the camels. Can't recommend it enough folks. We have taken many friends with us over the years and everyone has really enjoyed it. Used to go end of June early July which was hot and November around Remembrance Sunday and it was mid 20s degrees most days. Enjoy folks, we always did.

I really recommend the coach tour. It was 15 quid each for two adults, we got to stop for the camels, and the shows the guys up at the restaurant put on for us. We didn't have time to go into the visitor's centre though or souvenir shop or restaurant. The skill of the coachdrivers and the view, as somebody who is quite well travelled is literally a hidden gem in Lanzarote.

Lanzarote is a lovely island. I’m envious of those who can live there full time. I would recommend the bus trip through Timanfaya and visiting the more eccentric and off-beat attractions. I’ve never been disappointed there.

as someone who lives in gran canaria, i will always pick my island over any other. with this said, lanzarote is fucking incredible and everyone should visit it because it's beautiful and the people are awesome.

Just got back from here and i have to say, i was very impressed - lots to do, awesome weather, the prices were reasonable and the locals and hotel staff, etc were all incredibly helpful and friendly. Well impressed.

Great video again. Been to Lanzarote many times. It's a fascinating island, particularly Timanfaya. Every time I look at the lava flows, I think how lucky they were that they didn't cover the roads.

Hi Tim. I love the volcanic museum and the lava caves. I found them really interesting. The views were amazing and the national park was deafently different from any others I have seen a landscape all to its self. I also enjoyed the rock formations too.

Spectacular, thank you so much, wonderful, 🥰. Sights most of us will not be able experience, truly grateful. 💖

Hi Tim that was an excellent video i really enjoyed watching it so much. The beaches look amazing and the places you showed us were just stunning. Thank you for making this video.

The green lagoon and the timamfaya volcano trip on lanzarote is a great trip to go on wall worth the money great video

Lanzarote! The only holiday in 56 years of life that I didn't want to come home from. We took our kids on a coach tour of Timanfaya, the "Lunar" landscape was so surreal. The locals were just so nice. There was nothing about this holiday that I didn't like.

These are all the mainstream tourist attractions. There is so much more to experience in this magical place.

Thanks Tim great video most interesting I watched this on my big telly been busy this weekend now relaxed watching this thanks again Yvonne 😊

Thank you for this video. I got a chance to go here a few years ago as it was a stop on a Celebrity cruise. Incredibly interesting and fascinating terrain. Got to tour the cave you were in and I loved it and will never forget Lanzarote!
