This post is still under construction! Lanzarote, one of the stunning Canary Islands, is an ideal destination to escape the winter blues, even in January. With its mild climate, diverse landscapes, and unique attractions, a week on this volcanic island promises an unforgettable adventure and also that you will forget about the winter season back home. Join me as we embark on a journey to discover the beauty and wonders of Lanzarote during the tranquil month of January.
Day 1: Arrival and Relaxation
We arrived on a Sunday and after pick-ing up our rented car, we headed over to our hotel. Hotels have amazing prices during January, as the island has far mor less tourists than in other months of the year. Therefore, for our 1 week stay in Lanzarote we choose an adult-only accommodation - Radisson Blu Resort, a luxury 4* resort which offers amazing views from the rooms over the ocean, 2 restaurants and 4 pools and an overall high quality of services.
Day 2: Discover Timanfaya National Park
We started our exploration of Lanzarote with a visit to Timanfaya National Park, a surreal landscape shaped by volcanic eruptions. Took a guided tour through the Martian-like terrain, marveling at the colorful craters, lava fields, and geothermal demonstrations.
TIP! Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy a meal cooked using natural volcanic heat at El Diablo restaurant. It was not only delicious, but if offered also a nice experience.
