Lanzarote offers a mix from bonfire night celebrations in June and week long partying on August 25th for Saint’s Day, to the Music Marathon Festival in October in Puerto del Carmen where even tiny children can join in, toddling for half a mile along the route.
Visit the many vineyards dotted around the island if you fancy a wine-tasting. If you are used to taking a wine tour city break, Lanzarote has a surprise for you because the vineyards are not like those typically seen in France with lush green vines.
The wine-tasting city breaks to Lanzarote, especially in La Geria, consist of vines grown in craters full of dark earth and surrounded by volcanic stone semi circles called zocos.
