We have had some horrific rainfall but the island always thrives on it and looks so beautiful afterwards. These photos we taken during a masked up, socially distanced walk in the north of the island. Sending all the best to our friends and guests who are unable to...

Well we have almost arrived at the end of 2020 – a year none of us saw coming, and one we will never forget. It has been so sad helping people who have had to cancel their much needed holidays this year, and we have missed seeing the familiar faces of returning...

Here is the opinion of our latest guests who flew home this week... We have stayed in virtually all of the villas offered by www.lanzarotevillasdirect.com and found them all to be of a high standard. One of our favourites is Casa Luca and we decided that on finding it...

I have had quite a few messages from guests asking me what the situation is like over here at the moment, regarding the use of masks.. The law is that masks must be worn in public places where a distance of 1.5m cannot be maintained – this applies to open air as well...

Another free trip for residents! As it was the residents´ special we were allowed out of the coach to take photos of the volcanos and lava (at first we thought there was a problem!). Archie found the experience exhausting but managed to revive himself for the fire,...

For the last ten days residents of Lanzarote have been taking advantage of a generous free entrance offer to all the Cesar Manrique tourist attractions. Here we are at Jameos and then Mirador del Rio. As the school holidays started on 19th June and home schooling has...

As promised here is an update on work being done to the Arrieta pier...The crane is still there and it looks like a building site but it's coming along! We noted with horror the continued blocking of parking for the beach and someone's bright idea to paint a basket...

After arguably one of the strictest coronavirus lockdowns, Lanzarote yesterday woke up to the news that there are no longer any active cases on the island. It´s fantastic news for everyone here, and the island is starting to adjust itself to what will become the "new...

As you can imagine the island has come to a standstill - deserted beaches, empty parks, and hardly and traffic. It is almost surreal compared to life just a few weeks ago! We are all going through something that is new and unnerving, but we have to keep faith that...

The Rising Tide sculpture by Taylor was previously installed by the artist on the River Thames foreshore at Vauxhall in London. The Rising Tide is a sculpture depicting four riders on their saddles, horses whose heads are oil drilling pumps , reflecting the great...

It ’s always a bit embarrassing when a client staying in one of our villas raves about a meal they have experienced in a local restaurant and you haven’t a clue what they are talking about. Even more so when you find out it has been open for 2 YEARS! Yes I admit it I...

We are often asked if its advisable to exchange money before your holiday? Obviously if you can get a good rate do so but we can highly recommend our friend Raj in Costa Teguise. Located on the same side of the road as the Coronas Playa opposite to Number 10 (one of...
