Should You Visit Lanzarote? - Canary Islands

- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2024
- Lanzarote is one of the Canary islands off the coast of West Africa. It's known for its year-round warm weather, beaches and volcanic landscape. Timanfaya National Park’s rocky landscape was created by volcanic eruptions in the 1730s. Cueva de los Verdes has caverns formed by an underground river of lava. East-coast resort Puerto del Carmen is home to whitewashed villas, beaches and dive centres.

Hello!
I'm from Lanzarote, thank you for promoting my island and showing the different places there are.
I would like to tell you that the next time you go to "los hervideros" is a place near the "lago de los ciclos" (the green lake). It's free and it's amazing to see. Another place I always recommend, and it is very unknown, is the "Centro de Visitantes e Interpretación de Timanfaya" (Timanfaya Visitor and Interpretation Centre). It explains how Timanfaya works inside, as well as a simulation of an eruption.
Best regards
you are welcome
Your so lucky to be from such a beautiful place and thanks for the reccomends ❤
I'm originally from Lanzarote. Born and raised there for 18 years, I now live in Scotland
Lanzarote! The only holiday in 56 years of life that I didn't want to come home from. We took our kids on a coach tour of Timanfaya, the "Lunar" landscape was so surreal. The locals were just so nice. There was nothing about this holiday that I didn't like.
I've been three times and i absolutely love Lanzarote.
@@The_Original_KL dear god right from the top of my head i tell u 100 places way better than that. Thailand, south of France, Italy, germany, florida, california - literally ANY place is better
@@bambinaforever1402sure there is places 'better' still love the island. What's wrong with that?
Same here... for me and my son it was love at first sight, right after landing in Lanzarote
At 20.40 the stone bowls with the troughs of water are water purifiers. In old houses there is always a niche with a hollow stone called a pila. There are traces of volcanic mud in the porous stone and a fern called culantrillo is encouraged to grow on it. You can see the plants growing in the vid. The plants and the porous stone purify water which is collected below. There are lots of water saving traditions and devices here, as it so rarely rains.
as someone who lives in gran canaria, i will always pick my island over any other. with this said, lanzarote is fucking incredible and everyone should visit it because it's beautiful and the people are awesome.
Great video, Tim. One small thing about Timanfaya is the bus tour is included in the entrance fee - you just get on one of the buses at the top of the car park and you get a 45 minute bus tour round the rest of the park.
Also, if you are going to visit multiple attractions, you can get a 6 centre ticket for £35 which covers the cactus gardens, Timanfaya, James Del Agua, Cuevas de Los Verdes, Mirador del Rio and museum castle San Jose, which is a massive saving on individual entrance fees (you have 14 days from first attraction to visit them all)
thanks Phil! noted

The bus journey through Timanfaya was incredible when I went, well worth it. Saw some of the most craziest and wonderfully untouched landscapes - it was like being on Mars.
Lanzarote is a lovely island. I’m envious of those who can live there full time. I would recommend the bus trip through Timanfaya and visiting the more eccentric and off-beat attractions. I’ve never been disappointed there.
I really recommend the coach tour. It was 15 quid each for two adults, we got to stop for the camels, and the shows the guys up at the restaurant put on for us. We didn't have time to go into the visitor's centre though or souvenir shop or restaurant. The skill of the coachdrivers and the view, as somebody who is quite well travelled is literally a hidden gem in Lanzarote.
Thank you for this video. I got a chance to go here a few years ago as it was a stop on a Celebrity cruise. Incredibly interesting and fascinating terrain. Got to tour the cave you were in and I loved it and will never forget Lanzarote!
We loved it in Lanzarote, been numerous time and stayed in the area you've just covered. We stayed near the San Antonio hotel on the outskirts of Puerto del Carmen near Los Pocillos where you started your video. Some fantastic restaurants from Eastern European to British fish and chips. The Bollywood Indian restaurant was our favourite tho absolutely fantastic. We used to have a steady walk down to the old town and harbour to watch the Manta Rays eat the scraps from the fishing boats. Lovely restaurants around the harbour area too. Anybody going to Lanzarote must do the Volcano trip around the lunar landscape to the green lagoon a bit of wine tasting and a ride on the camels. Can't recommend it enough folks. We have taken many friends with us over the years and everyone has really enjoyed it. Used to go end of June early July which was hot and November around Remembrance Sunday and it was mid 20s degrees most days. Enjoy folks, we always did.
Ever since I fell off an e-scooter I have never gone on one since. I swear they are death traps haha segway: love your down-to-earth content.
the bus trip through the national park is the best part, horrifying, went once but never again.
Loved Puerto Del Carmen would go again in a heartbeat
Lovely to see such amazing landscapes. The pictures are so clear and natural that I felt as if I was actually there.
You speak a very good spanish Tim.....café con lechi....
lol
Lanzarote is like 2nd home to me. Been 15 times
Nice video Tim, Thank you!
The green lagoon and the timamfaya volcano trip on lanzarote is a great trip to go on wall worth the money great video
Thanks Tim. Very good.
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s so nice to see Lanzarote on video so clear and beautiful. However, Lanzarote isn’t all about money Tim, there are so many places to go for free. The island itself is magical and just be there is a gift as tourist or local .Please please if you are doing a video make sure you get some knowledge before hand such as 1000 years old lava?. Apart from that thank you for sharing with us a little piece of paradise.
Thank you. Very helpful for next trip to Lanzarote.
These are all the mainstream tourist attractions. There is so much more to experience in this magical place.
I like how natural you sound when narrating. :) (not scripted)
the Timanfaya demonstration hasnt changed at all and i last went 12 year ago. wow.
Hahaha I had the same thought.... But for me it's been 36 years!!!!!! Exactly what I saw in spring
1986. Mind you, the rest hasn't changed either except for minor details like the fence around 'el golfo. '
lol I know and not likely to
Just got back from here and i have to say, i was very impressed - lots to do, awesome weather, the prices were reasonable and the locals and hotel staff, etc were all incredibly helpful and friendly. Well impressed.
Thank you for this video I have never been to the Island..But I am going to PUERTO.
In August for 2 weeks. And am very much looking forward to it. Once again thank you 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic video Tim. So interesting and beautiful.Thanks Tim👏🏻☀️
Thanks Tim great video most interesting I watched this on my big telly been busy this weekend now relaxed watching this thanks again Yvonne 😊
New to the channel but im addicted already! It's harder to travel with two kids it makes me very anxious just the thought of it 😅 so Tim taking us away is such a highlight in the week for me.
Welcome to the family xx
you are welcome Sophie :-)
Thank you 😃
Great video again. Been to Lanzarote many times. It's a fascinating island, particularly Timanfaya. Every time I look at the lava flows, I think how lucky they were that they didn't cover the roads.
My daughter is getting married in Lanzarote in April- looking forward to it
Lanzarote must be a nice place to visit .it is not just the beach but also to explore the surrounding areas and see the adjacent islands as well in the canaries. Greetings from Montreal Canada
Funniest thing when I holidayed in Costa Teguise Lanzarote. Had this horrid boy about 10 kicking my seat & generally being really obnoxious on the plane.
On the way home he was behind me again but this time was sitting quietly & I wondered why. I then listened to his mum talking to someone, turns out he was quiet because he'd fallen onto a big cactus a few days before & needed the needles removing at a medical centre.
Shouldn't laugh but I did giggle slightly before sleeping enjoying the quiet
oh dear
Now THAT'S karma
Spectacular, thank you so much, wonderful, 🥰. Sights most of us will not be able experience, truly grateful. 💖
Hi Tim that was an excellent video i really enjoyed watching it so much. The beaches look amazing and the places you showed us were just stunning. Thank you for making this video.
Thanks so much bobby
Hi Tim. I love the volcanic museum and the lava caves. I found them really interesting. The views were amazing and the national park was deafently different from any others I have seen a landscape all to its self. I also enjoyed the rock formations too.
Lucky enough to spend 2 years living on Lanzarote until 2011. There's some great beaches in small coves you can have all by yourself. Yes many are clothes optional. Playa Quemada is my favourite seaside village.
Go to Puerto Calero and marvel at the super rich yachts moored here!
richt71 would definitely agree with you re Playa Quemada. Was also there 2011. Peaceful and a nice day away from PDC. Superb meal in one of the restaurants right on the waters edge.
When we went there, we parked the car & a bus took us round the valcanos & that was included in the price. Also, if you do all those places you get a discount I believe, the caves are great! Well done on visiting so many places 😎
yes I noticed that after I did all of them lol
Fantastic video, I hope you have done more videos of lanzarote there is so much more to see and fascinating places to visit.
As having visited Timanfaya, the bus tour is included in you €12! You just have to get one of the ones near the gift shop
This brought make so many momeries, such a great island to explore, the lava caves are truly fantastic
Nice to see you again Tim. Beautiful scenery. Awesome buildings. Amazing how they cooked their meals. Beautiful land scape. Thanks for sharing.
thanks dolly
I'm intrigued as to when you went to lanzarote! We went to puerto del carmen in February 2023 for our honeymoon, we were there while the carnival was on and wow it was absolutely amazing!
Great vlog. I’m flying out in two weeks. Can’t wait. ❤
Thanks for another great travel vlog. Well worth the waiting for. What an incredible part of the island. Indeed, well worth the journey.
It really is!
Wow Lanzarote has some beautiful places & thanks Tim 🤗👍
Really enjoy these types of travel vlogs Tim! Thank you
Glad you like them!
Hi Tim and thanks for the lanzarote videos over the last few days .cant wait to go back for crimbo and new year
Thank you so much for such a brilliant vlog! Honestly this was amazing ❤
wow thanks Jan
What a fantastic video Tim the lava caves were amazing x 😊
agree
Great video Tim. Must visit there someday.
Fantastic video, went to Lanzarote many years ago, did a day trip on the cruise I was on. Managed to go on the camel ride and went to the museum. I really enjoyed it. ❤️
lol the camel ride
I'll be visiting (and vlogging) the Canary Islands in December on a P&O cruise. I've only actually been to Tenerife, so very excited to see what Lanzarote has to offer!
The museum was nice to see Tim and good view as well
Hiya Tim my husband myself go to lanzarote most years up to time of pandemic, my husband does the lanzorote annual runs. We love it and port,delcarman is fantastic 👏. Also fuerterventure. Brilliant. Love to gabby n family 👪 x
Thanks Jan
I visited Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and 2 times La Palma. La Palma is the most beautiful. Love that island. But if you prefer sandy beaches and a taste of the Sahara you should go to Fuerteventura.
This video brought back memories of the 80's as that was when I visited Lanzarote . Stayed in Puerto Del Carmen which back then was quiet. It was very windy so when you went to the beach you got covered in black sand lol. Did the water in the volcano trip and the caves . I loved that there was no high rise , thank you Tim x
Cheers Tim, I have been 4 places this year, Amsterdam, tenerife, turkey, and tenerife again... in April I wanna try Lanzarote and this video was dope to see how it is!
We normally avoid anywhere the brits go, as they are on the whole annoying, but what you filmed here looks impressive, may be worth a trip
Loved this! I used to live in Lanzarote so it brings back many happy memories.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thankyou Tim. A very informative video. I would love to visit in the future 👍
You should!
Brilliant man! Really enjoyed this vlog. Just at another level man!

You’re welcome 😊
We love Lanzarote, been so many times, especially EL Golfo, fantastic fish restaurants, 👍👍👍😎the national park was brilliant as well.
Thanks for watching!
very nice! i live there live went to all the timanfaya mueseum parts, execpt the cave, thanks for sharing!
I really enjoyed this. Its the same type of tour that we did. We found some amazing villages but not some of the sights you visited. We also visited Las Gracios island, where Id happily spend a summer. No cars are allowed and, apart from the village with a few bars, there is nothing else. Love the Canaries, Im going to watch your other videos now!
It looks fantastic!.
I'll be in Costa Teguise in November
have fun!
Will do, thanks 😁
Hi Tim, great video. So glad you explored some of the island.
Did you know La Graciosa is rumoured to be the original ‘Treasure Island’ as per the book.
The ticket price at Timanfaya includes the coach ride which is amazing!
Lanzarote is a UNESCO biosphere.
If you visit again go to the Valley of a 1000 palms (every time a boy is born a palm tree is planted !)
Rachael Whelch was made famous for the film sequence of her emerging from the sea at Papagayo (The land that time forgot).
Also you can get to the beaches by water taxi in the summer.
Yes a great island for those that want more than a ‘all inclusive’.
Regards Graham
Absolutely beautiful
Wow, looks like you landed on Tattoine or somewhere like that in the volcanic part. Great video and shows that the canaries are more than just beaches and bars! 👍🏻
Hi Tim, That big abandoned building at the start of the vid is an unfinished hotel, called Atlante del Sol, otherwise known as Hotel de Los Charcones, A project from the 70's that probably run out of money.
I love watching out takes xx
lol
We went to Timanfaya National Park 3 yrs ago, highly recommended. We parked up in the rain (yes it does rain) and walking through the steam off the car park up to the facilities was surreal. We had a fantastic meal in the restaurant and the included coach trip is highly recommended. At times it was like being on Mars (I guess) ! Never been to Lanzarote before but was very impressed as we moved around the island. My tip is if you go, get there early to the park, it can get very busy.
Just back from there earlier this month, stayed in Playa Blanca this time and Costa Teguise last time - did Timanfaya trip then, worst bit was, you only had about 20mins free time up at the volcano, most of the rest of the half day trip was either driving somewhere or sales pitches in an Aloe Vera "museum" or vineyard. Definitely an island worth visiting!
agree
21st of November I will be there love this place. I'll be having a nice cold Dorada in Popeyes Sports Bar in Playa Blanca 😎 🍻 ❤️
not the best of places
Great video Tim 🙏💜
Thank you kindly
went there about 24 years ago...loved Timafaya....we went on a coach to see it and they played the theme from 200 A Space Odyssey . It felt so atmospheric...
Interesting Video of an island I've never visited. Thanks Tim.
you are welcome
Never been to lanzarote Tim,it looks lovely,I can't see why it's called Lanzagrote.Thanks for the video Tim.
Just had an amazing 7 days in lanzorote Tim , hired a car and we did all these and stayed in the beautiful Puerto del carmen .
I love it here my favourite holiday destination
