Lovely Lanzarote

What a lovely week I had when myself and my 2 kids, 1 year and 4 years together with my mother headed off to Lanzarote for a week. We stayed in the Fariones Apartmentos between the Old & the New Town. It was an ideal location as it was close to restaurants, the beach and the Biosphere shopping centre. Our accommodation was spacious, very clean and included a fabulous breakfast every day in the little restaurant - everything from delicious fruit, meats, cheeses, so many types of bread, juices and even a warm selection for those that want something more substantial including bacon, eggs, beans, pancakes and hash browns.

As it was off season the kids club wasn’t running when I was there. However, they did have a Festival on over the weekend which provided us with great entertainment. The resort had a parade of local dancers and face painting for the kids. We could also use the facilities in the Los Fariones Hotel & the Fariones Playa apartments just around the corner so every evening there was live music.

The resort has a fabulous long promenade where you can enjoy a long walk while enjoying views of the sea or browsing the various souvenir shops or boutiques. The Biosphere shopping centre which was located close to our accommodation had a great array of shops for all ages along with Jurassic Park Crazy Golf which went down a hit with my kids.

Whether you are a family, large or small, or just a couple looking for good food, drink and a week or so away to enjoy some sunshine I would have no hesitations in recommending Lanzarote. There are lots of things to do and see including the Teguise & Playa Blanca Markets, a visit to the National Park, a Wild West Show at Rancho Texas, and the water park in Costa Teguise is a must with the kids too or even the kids at heart!
