LANZAROTE

Lanzarote is a unique and fascinating island, lying 100km off the African coast and has scenery very lunlike its neighbouring islands.  Devastated by volcanic eruptions in the 17th and 18th centuries, it has been left with an almost eerie lunar landscape for which it has become famous.  The weather is warmer and drier than on the more westerly islands, as Lanzarote is subject to hot winds from the Sahara as well as cooling winds from the Atlantic.

Costa Teguise
Costa Teguise is a stylish tourist area on the east coast of the unique volcanic island of Lanzarote.  The pale sandy beaches are usually uncrowded and there is a waterpark, cactus garden, sports facilities and varied nightlife.  You can explore the north of the island from here, visit the incredible volcanic caves at Cuevas de los Verdes or the ancient capital of Teguise which hosts a large market every Sunday.  Also a must is a visit to Lagomar which boasts a stunning restaurant/bar built into the side of a cliff.  Timeshare resorts offering self catering apartments in Costa Teguise are :
