Have you ever been to Fuerteventura and Lanzarote? If the answer to this question is no, you seriously need to consider a holiday here. It can be very affordable too, and you can decide whether you want to stay in an apartment, hotel or a luxurious all inclusive resort.
Hotels are modestly priced too, so you won't need to break the bank in order to have a few days off work. This summer promises to be very exciting for these Canary Islands, and there are lots of volcanic tours going on, so all you have to do is get involved!
Lanzarote is a dreamy destination that is great for family holidays. It has the perfect mix of sun, sea and sand which makes it such an ideal place to go in the summer months. There is an abundance of
Lanzarote hotels to choose from, so you can ensure you find the perfect place from home. If you have an interest in geology you'll be pleased to know that there are some excellent tours on the island offering exploration of its fascinating volcanic landscapes. Most tours will incorporate the same main attractions, but some offer fuller itineraries than others so check carefully - it's worth paying a bit extra to get the most from the experience.
The Timanfaya National Park is another beautiful attraction in Lanzarote. It is home to "fire mountain", a name that tends to spark curiosity. You'll be guided round its volcanoes and craters and lots of guided tours will also treat you to some geothermal experiments such as cooking food on the volcanoes hotspots. The bay of El golfo, the hot springs and salt flats of Janubio also feature on most tours.
With the longest coast line in the Canaries, it's no wonder that Fuerteventura hotels and resorts have gained a reputation for being a hotspot for watersports and beach holidays. But there is more to this island, and beneath its relaxed vibe is a fiery past. Though there have been no active volcanoes for 5000 years, the stunning lava landscapes they created remain and as such visitors here can enjoy a fascinating and varied holiday experience.
After a day or two on one of its world class white sand beaches get yourself booked on one of its fabulous volcanic tours. Again, like Lanzarote most companies offer similar itineraries. Most walking tours last around 4-5 hours and are moderately challenging.
