This poor lady was on holiday in our casita. After spending 2 hours bailing our 2 inches of water we get the panic call from Kate that a mud slide has gone through her house and that both cars were trashed! Poor Esther and John volunteered to join us in another bail...

From October 19th Wi Fi is free at the airport..GREAT NEWS  holiday makers. Actually the improvements at the airport are excellent. The food choices are much more varied and the new shops are worth a visit. I have availability in November and December ( full at...

Go for a walk! All three resorts have fabulous promenades that run along the seafront that are flat and easy to negotiate, as well as plenty of places to stop for a tapa and a beer or glass of wine. Head inland, and you’ll find the island is full on fascinating tracks...

It's been extremely hot this October. Normally at this time of year, it has started to cool down, but we've been seeing temperatures in the 30's almost every day so far this month. I was only commented  yesterday that I can't remember what it feels like to be cold. We...

Personally I think this has toppled Amanecer from my choice as favourite haunt. The location is perfect and I am so lucky as its right at the bottom of the Tabayesco hill. Always there is a fantastic fresh fish option but of course lots of other lovely dishes are...

I have never been a lover of shopping and in particular 'markets' but  ventured to Teguise Market yesterday and have to admit I really enjoyed it! There was a great buzzy atmosphere and lots going on. What I particularly like is the way most of the stalls are away...

La Tabla is open in the evenings, hopefully they may decide to open at lunch times as they are doing a roaring trade at night. Many of you will know Las Maretas ( Domingo's?) its in the same square and I understand the food is really good and well worth a try. I am...

Just a thought this villa Last Rays is situated high on the Nazaret hill with fantastic views and of course a private heated pool. Its quirky and typically Spanish The good news is that it is only £595 a week for 2 people. I have availability this year if you fancy a...

I love it when I get feedback from clients and yesterday I received these photos from clients who stayed in Albarino last week. The sunsets and stars have been fantastic over the last few weeks and I asked permission to share these with you..enjoy.

It does not get much better than this We have had a fabulous fortnight the night skies have been fantastic. This was taken from the Pirate museum at Teguise. Nothing more I just thought it was a great shot to share with you. Jan x

Its 20 years we have lived on the island and still this 'Fiesta' thing is a mystery to me. The first month we arrived we had close friends with us helping to settle in. We saw the mention of a fiesta in Arrieta so obviously wishing to integrate into the community we...

Although it is not the biggest of supermarkets the one in Nazaret is perfectly adequate and very reasonable prices. The opening hours are great and its open on a Sunday. The wine selection is good and there is fresh bread and fruit and vegetables delivered daily. The...

Local to Nazaret are Barstro ( which I am sure you all know about by now) and LagOmar. The latter is well worth a visit, make sure you take your camera. The restaurant itself is in a fabulous location but its a bit too twee for my liking and you can probably have two...

Yet again I have had a client let down and their holiday nearly spoiled because of it. PLEASE take my advice do not go for the cheapest option you can find if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is not! HERTZ I thought would know better but no; they not...

I have been asked by a number of clients why I have stopped popping in late deal offers...sorry I will correct that now. These prices are of course for 2 people. AUGUST 19th - 30th ALBARINO special offer £100 a night. GALLES August 27th - September 10th special offer...

We love nothing better than a fresh fish lunch eaten at a restaurant situated over looking the sea somewhere along the coast in Lanzarote. Most of the time we leave which fish of the day up to the waiter and we’ve yet to be disappointed. The Spanish name of the fish...

As far as markets go Teguise really isn't too bad. If you love markets you will love Teguise. On Sunday this sleepy idyllic Lanzarote village is crammed with visitors.I went for my 4th visit in 20 years last Sunday and was pleasantly surprised. There were some really...
