MY TRIP TO LANZAROTE

Hello beauties!

I think I've never done this kind of post in my blog, but I kind of wanted to share

with you my experience while traveling and visiting Lanzarote!

Lanzarote is one of the islands that form the Canary Islands (they belong to Spain) located off the West African coast, it is well known for its warm weather, the beaches and the most important: its volcanic landscape!

I traveled alongside my friend, we rented a car as it's the best way to visit it! We booked an air bnb in a place called 'Caleta de Famara', located in the North of the Island and known for its beach and the surf life. I absolutely loved the apartment and the village! It is surrounded by either the ocean and volcanic mountains, something completely wonderful.

The day after we arrived, we decided to keep visiting the North of the Island so we went to: Jameos del agua, Cueva de los Verde and Jardín de Cactus as its all pretty close. One of my favourite was Cueva de los Verde, as it's a volcanic cave 50m below surface. There's a guide who takes you through it and explains everything in a 50 minute route. Personally it's one of the highlights of this trip! Jameos & Jardín de Cactus was absolutely beautiful as well, you can take amazing photos!

The next day we visited the south of the island, where you can find the most important and famous volcano: The Timanfaya. We drove all the way to it and from there we parked the car and took a bus which drives you around it – this is the only way you can visit it. It was a very interesting experience! After that we decided to keep exploring the south: went to a village called Yaiza where we had lunch, and visited el Lago Verde located in El Golfo, a natural green lake surrounded by a beach with black sand! (I loved that!).

On the third day we decided to take a ferry to La Graciosa, an island which is Very close to Lanzarote. You can travel there from Orzola, a village located at the very north of the island. The only way to visit La Graciosa is by bike or walking, as it's considered a natural area. We spent the day on the beach and also had lunch in a cute restaurant. We had a lot of relaxing fun!

The last day we stayed at 'Caleta de Famara' and took a surf class in the morning. We paid for half a day which was 2.5h –and trust me, it was an amazing experience, in only that amount of time I learned how to stand up in the surf table! I loved it! The teacher was very cool and friendly, it was a nice way to meet new people as well!

When it comes to food: I think I've never eaten so much seafood in my life! I love seafood and fish, and there you can eat it as much as you want – and the best of all: It's super cheap! It also depends on the area, but what I noticed is that the more you went to the North the cheaper it was! My favourite restaurant was one called 'Amanecer' in a place called Arrieta, it was next to Jameos del Agua and Cueva de los Verde. Me and my friend ate a 'parrillada de pescado', which was a huge plate full of different type of fishes and seafood + salad. And then we ordered a typical Canarian dessert called 'polvito canario', most delicious thing you could ever try! The seafood plate was 18€ per person and it was fresh fish! Loved that place!

Hope you liked the post!
