There seems to be an unlimited amount of things to do on Lanzarote, a volcanic island — 40 miles long and 13 miles wide — set in the Atlantic Ocean. This sun-soaked paradise is an ideal destination to appreciate one of our amazing cheap holidays.

Lanzarote, one of the most eastern of the Canary Islands, is on the same latitude as the Sahara Desert and experiences a similar climate, albeit surrounded by water. This translates to warm temperatures and low rainfall all year around making it a wonderful place for a cheap holiday at any time, especially if you love outdoor activities.

With so much on offer the island is equipped with many outstanding cheap hotels in Lanzarote, invariably with excellent rooms and superb service.

Anyone holidaying there for the first time should visit the Timanfaya National Park, a huge lava flow that covers more than 20 square miles. It dates back to around 1730 when there were several violent eruptions from the volcano which gave birth to Lanzarote in the dim and distant past.

The other “must see” item is the House of Cesar Manrique. This house is very interesting from many different views. The historic perspective is rich, the architecture is very dated, and there is an artistic point of view about this house. The house is located in Lanzarote’s central region near the city of Recife. Here you’ll discover restaurants, shops, hotels and other tourist attractions.

To the north is Jameos del Aqua, a formation of lava caves and tubes. The Mirador del Rio will show visitors an amazing view from the cliff that it sits on top of. Close by is another lava cave formation called La Cueva de los Verdes or Cave of the Greens.

Here again, visitors can walk through the lava tubes and see spectacular lava formations and designs. There is also a spot called Jardin de Cactus that is not far from Cave of the Greens. At Jardin de Cactus visitors can see a very wide variety of cactus ans succulents and other unique island vegetation.

The good all-round climate makes Lanzarote an idela destination for that next winter holiday, especially at Christmas. Just visit your travel agent and ask about cheap holidays to Lanzarote. You may even want to just go to the internet, you just have to enter “cheap holidays in Lanzarote” and you will find many different packages at the different web sites.
