Lanzagrotty is what Lanzarote, a popular tourist island in the Canary Islands was called by the media some years back. But the face of Lanzarote has considerably changed with lots of efforts by the Canary Islands Tourist Department and the local businesses.
Lanzarote is everything you could dream about as a paradise island and the best winter sun destination, from the warm sun to the clean and European Standards Blue Flag beaches, the world class surfing waters of La Santa, the varied landscape with unique vineyards thriving alongside the magnificent Timanfaya National Park to the ever growing marine life, especially the Underwater Atlantic Museum and it being part of UNESCO's Biosphere Reserve.
How can anyone forget the huge contribution made by Lanzarote's own artist Cesar Manrique to change the ordinary into the extraordinary with his works at various roundabouts around the island, the Jameos del Agua, Cueva de Los Verdes, the Cactus Garden, the Cesar Manrique Foundation and many other prominent attractions in Lanzarote.
Apart from all this, Lanzarote is also a fast growing Sports Tourism destination with lots of International Sporting Events being organized throughout the year, bringing in many more tourists every year and offering world class facilities. The best part of coming to Lanzarote is that you can also island hop to other neighbouring island of Fuerteventura with its unique sand dunes and more beaches, the massive theme parks of Tenerife and the untouched island of La Graciosa.
Lanzarote is also one of the safest islands to holiday at, with strict airport security and satellite radar monitoring of in and around the island. Lanzarote airport is also a duty free zone, which means you can buy your favourite gifts or souvenirs without paying any taxes.

There are huge shopping centres with high end and branded shops, long promenades with designer boutiques sure to tempt you to try that very pretty dress you had been eyeing for a while!!!
No matter which month of the year you come for a holiday in Lanzarote, you can never miss the sun and all the Vitamin D which goes with it!!!! Lanzarote is the best island you want to be at, whether you plan on staying in a luxury hotel or a private villa in a quiet but beautiful village or a hotel apartment or an inclusive budget hotel, there is a choice for everyone.
