Explore the Hidden Side of Lanzarote

Lanzarote is one of the seven Canary Islands that are probably best known as a package holiday hot spot. But these islands still attract plenty of more independent travellers too, as a result of the introduction of low cost flights to Lanzarote courtesy of budget operators such as easyjet and Monarch. And now it is it possible to fly from British airports to the island from as little as €100 return.

More independent travellers means more demand for self catering accommodation. And this has resulted in the growth of the private rental sector. With thousands of Lanzarote holiday villas and apartments now available. And despite the fact that there are now plenty of attractive hotels and fincas in the countryside most visitors from the UK still prefer to book something in one of the larger resorts. With villas in Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen in great demand especially during the peak holiday periods.

There are however plenty of locations on the island that remain well off the main tourist trail for those who like to get out and explore. As Lanzarote is home to a host of natural wonders and plenty of unique man made attractions too. As well as lots of pretty villages and towns.

Lanzarote is famous for its volcanoes – and rightly so. During the 1730´s the island was rocked by eruptions that lasted for over six years. So today much of the island’s interior resembles the surface of another planet – characterised by a very dry and arid terrain. So who would have thought that a place with as little rainfall as Lanzarote could be home to its very own wood?

El Bosque is located in the North of the island and is such as well kept secret that it isn’t even signposted and doesn’t appear on many maps. However this is a hugely popular spot with the locals, many of whom head here on holidays and weekends to enjoy a BBQ whilst drinking in the fabulous views down to the bay of Famara below.
