That said, much depends on what your expectations are during the trip.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Lanzarote in spring<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the spring months, temperatures can reach 22-23 degrees and even a few degrees higher toward the end of May, during which time the rainfall that can occasionally occur in March and April is instead virtually absent. This makes May particularly ideal for those who want to avoid the crowds and prices that characterize the peak summer season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Lanzarote in summer<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Lanzarote and the Canary Islands in general, June, July, and August are considered high season. The weather is excellent, and there is no rainfall. Toward the end of July, the ocean water also begins to warm up. Of course, this is also the busiest and most expensive time of the year.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05179.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Caleta de Famara.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Lanzarote in autumn<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">September is a great month to visit the island. The beaches are less crowded (especially towards the end of the month), the weather is great and the ocean is warmer than in summer. In October and especially November the probability of rainfall increases and temperatures begin to drop but all in all it can still be a pleasant time to visit the island.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Lanzarote in winter<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even in the middle of winter\u2014in December, January, and February\u2014Lanzarote can be an interesting destination. However, it is important to remember that December corresponds with the peak of precipitation, which then wanes until May.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, rainfall is still relatively low, and during the day, with the sun shining, temperatures can easily reach 20 degrees Celsius and above. In short, don&#8217;t expect to swim pleasantly, but if all you&#8217;re looking for is some sunshine and mild temperatures, you won&#8217;t be disappointed.

Located in the extreme southwest of Lanzarote, the port offers daily connections to neighboring Fuerteventura. Playa Blanca is considered an &#8220;up market&#8221; destination with plenty of luxury hotels and five-star resorts.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>What to do and see in Playa Blanca<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is a pedestrian promenade that connects the port area (Marina Rubicon) to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/gvB4c4FhNnt8wWgj6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lighthouse de Punta Pechiguera<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> via the oldest and most traditional part of town where the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/eNvGfsBHFL2wwBQj8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playa Blanca<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> beach is located. The town&#8217;s other two beaches are: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/CBXCcigLg46JNvRt8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playa Flamingo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, further west in the direction of the lighthouse, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/FCuXuiLzwzRxL8es8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playa Dorada<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, halfway between the Marina. Otherwise, there is not much else to do except visit the town&#8217;s many bars, restaurants, and stores.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Costa De Papagayo<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Probably the most popular beaches around Playa Blanca or even the entire island are those found along the de Papagayo coast. These are a series of really nice coves separated by high cliffs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The entire area is within a protected area. Along the dirt road leading to the beaches there is a sort of toll booth where you pay 3\u20ac per car for entry. Apparently it is possible to get there on foot starting from Playa Blanca; the path starts near <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/g.page\/Sandos-Papagayo?share\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sandos Papagayo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and reaches <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/V8jBTnM7kYEk9uuT9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playa Mujeres<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the first in the series of coves just described.

Playa del Papagayo is probably the prettiest but it is also quite small and consequently crowded.

The pebble beach is not particularly pretty but there are a couple of waterfront restaurants where you can have a good meal with a view.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting from Playa Quemada it is also possible to reach <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/9ZQBdNGKyPxqdYPz6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playa la Casa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> along a beautiful path that follows the coast. The beach can be reached only on foot or by sea and boasts a very special garden (take a look at the photos on Google Maps). A girl living on the island recommended the visit to me. Unfortunately, I arrived that day in the afternoon and didn&#8217;t feel like walking much, so I just went to the nearby <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/n9C3j2FAvobjjEDu7\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playa de la Arena<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC04960.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Playa de Papagayo.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Parque Nacional Timanfaya<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Timanfaya National Park is undoubtedly one of the must-see stops during your trip to Lanzarote. Unfortunately, only tourist buses, not private cars, are allowed to drive around the park. Visitors must leave their cars in the parking lot and buy a ticket for one of the buses that can drive inside the park. Tickets must be purchased at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/iYYGmqXHfEfMJhCq8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">park entrance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where the ticket office opens daily at 9:30 am and closes at 4:00 pm. Once you have purchased your ticket (12\u20ac per adult), you drive to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/s2Lorqeaq8mZSnA99\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">parking lot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. From there, with your newly purchased ticket, you can board the bus (I recommend taking a seat on the side opposite the driver). The bus tour of the park lasts about 40 minutes and makes several stops.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05079.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>On the bus tour.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While one has the feeling of doing something extremely touristy, all in all I think it is a good experience. Where the parking lot is located there is the classic gift store and a restaurant that uses an oven fueled by the heat still emanating from the volcano, as evidenced by the brief skit put on by the park rangers before boarding the bus.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An alternative to the bus tour for admiring the park and its Martian panorama is to take a ride on the back of a camel. The cost is 12\u20ac per animal, so if shared between two people, it\u2019s 6\u20ac each for about twenty minutes. You have to leave your car at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/zs97j86cdCQ14wrs6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this point<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Personally, I am not a big fan of animals used for tourist purposes, so I decided to pass, but my friend did it and enjoyed it. Obviously, you can do both the bus and camel tours, but if you want to do just one and are looking for the best views, my friend recommends the bus tour.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To complete your visit to Timanfaya National Park, I recommend stopping at the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/SSoibWb3VAADusfp7\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Centro de Visitantes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There is a fascinating permanent exhibit here that explains the origins of the island, its recent volcanic eruptions, and the flora and fauna that have colonized this seemingly inhospitable landscape. At the entrance of the visitor center, it is also possible to register to watch two twenty-minute documentaries shown in the small cinema room. Depending on the time, they are offered in several languages. Also, at the entrance, you can register for a simulation of a volcanic eruption: a wall emits smoke and &#8220;lava&#8221; and lights up, combined with some background noise. Personally, I found it unimpressive, but children might find it interesting. Admission, documentaries, and the simulation are completely free.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05062.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Timanfaya National Park.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Parque Natural de los Volcanes<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This natural park literally wraps around Timanfaya National Park.

It is about 9 km and 500 meters total elevation gain, 2:30 to 3:30 hours. As the name suggests, you walk through lava fields until you reach the base of the Caldera Blanca where you climb up to the ridge and walk almost the entire length of it before descending and heading back toward the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/WSuuWjVKevWcQGQb6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">parking lot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, following the same trail from where you came.

Also, at the top of the caldera there are sections where the trail is slightly exposed, no big deal in normal weather conditions but on the day of my visit there was such a strong wind that we preferred to turn back at one point. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05122.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Caldera Blanca.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Montana Colorada<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Short trail with no elevation gain that just goes around Montana Colorada.

The views from the top of Caldera Blanca are significantly better but it is still a pleasant hike. There is a trail to the top of the volcano and some GPS tracks follow it, but according to the signs on site it no longer seems to be allowed. You can find the trail description <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltrails.com\/trail\/spain\/lanzarote\/volcan-montana-colorada?u=m\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as you will see from the map at the link just given, if you wish you can lengthen the route and include a visit to nearby Montana Cardona and Montana Negra. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05138.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Montana Colorada.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Montana de las Lapas o del Cuervo<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If walking is not your thing and you want to do a single hike, this is probably the best choice.

This viewpoint is reached at the end of a dirt road that is, however, in good condition and offers some crazy views of Famara Bay below and the impressive cliffs. For the more adventurous I recommend visiting the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/Rqx6AweVB4K2hoSF9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cueva de Las Cabras<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which is located not far away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A cave literally carved into the rock and suspended in the void with slightly exposed and unequipped access except for a few steps. Children and people who particularly suffer from fear of heights would do well to avoid it. In any case, the place is truly magical and I strongly recommend it while being careful where you put your feet! <\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05183.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Cueva de Las Cabras.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05185.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Mirador del risco de Famara.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Har\u00eda<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Haria and its surroundings are probably the most authentic and least touristy area of the island. A hilly landscape in the north of the island that offers an escape from the more polar south. The city center can be visited in no more than ten minutes but is still fascinating. It may have been the low season, but it felt like going back in time\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As if that were not enough, here is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/smZivwboeQHJUvyX8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C\u00e9sar Manrique&#8217;s house museum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which is apparently in the same condition it was in when the artist died, complete with unfinished works in the studio.

The visit to Cuevas de los Verdes is exclusively guided, the tour offered in Spanish and English costs 10 euros and lasts about 45 minutes, departures are frequent, simply show up at the entrance.

A path has been created inside the cave complete with stairs and handrails, which should provide easy access for anyone without serious mobility problems. There is even a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bx6qivDW5VI&amp;ab_channel=PuntodeInformaci%C3%B3nLanzarote\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">small auditorium inside<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05213.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Auditorium, Cuevas de los Verdes.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I haven&#8217;t been to the Jameos del Agua. Once you pay the 10\u20ac entrance fee, you are free to wander around. Reviews are mixed: some say that as beautiful as it is, it&#8217;s not worth the price of admission, while others claim that this creation of C\u00e9sar Manrique, blending natural and man-made structures, is something not to be missed. The choice is yours.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, not far from Cueva de los Verdes is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/x5cYrwiyFdmGSideA\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cueva de los Siete Lagos<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I had been recommended to visit it, with the advice to be prepared to swim. According to the reviews on Google Maps, access is prohibited and it seems to be closed off. I haven&#8217;t checked personally, but based on the reviews, I think it&#8217;s trustworthy advice and I would avoid attempting to visit.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05234.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Cuevas de Los Verdes.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Mirador del Rio<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This viewpoint is undoubtedly the best known and most popular on the island. The structure built in 1974 behind which again has the hand of C\u00e9sar Manrique, offers beautiful views of La Graciosa Island and the Chinijo Archipelago. The facility houses a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/1BgidyqtLHZJ8KDi9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for which you have to pay an entrance fee of 5\u20ac.

Ferries depart several times a day from here, connecting the two islands. While the small port town itself may not offer much, there are plenty of beautiful beaches nearby. I especially recommend visiting <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/GEfvkS6Rs2RUwS7v5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playa Caleton Blanco<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05286.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Caleta de Sebo.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>La Graciosa<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What can I say, the island is really pretty! Joking aside, visiting the island from Lanzarote is definitely a great way to spend a day. As anticipated, departures are frequent and the route is offered by two companies: <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.biosferaexpress.com\/en\/horarios.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biosfera Express<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lineasromero.com\/en\/info-horarios\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lineas Romero<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For adults, the cost is \u20ac26 for a round-trip ticket and the crossing takes about half an hour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once on the island, if you want to put in some effort, you can complete a bike circuit that starting from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/fMdz4u5YseRpRCXf8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caleta del Sebo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> leads first to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/QCoz9vd6EU98RXJc9\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playa de las Conchas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and then to the small settlement <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/45ee4oh7FfoRy2VQ6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Casas de Pedro Barba<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to finally return to Caleta del Sebo.The route is approximately 18 km in total and can be completed in about 2-3 hours depending on your pace. If you&#8217;re not a big fan of biking, I would probably avoid it. In my opinion, the only part of the circuit that is truly worth it is Playa de las Conchas. If you prefer, you could simply ride to the beach and back, saving about 8 km. I&#8217;ve also seen people walk this stretch.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Renting a bike at the port is very easy. There are several shops offering bikes at the same prices: 10\u20ac for a regular mountain bike for the entire day, and 25\u20ac if you prefer an electric bike.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05281.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Playa de Las Conchas.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have completed the bike ride or as an alternative to the ride itself, I strongly recommend walking to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/5hhDRxjnjqTKX7kH6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playa Francesca<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: a beautiful bay where you can swim (as opposed to Playa de las Conchas) and spend the rest of the day before returning to Lanzarote. I recommend doing it on foot and not by bike because this side of the island is extremely sandy and getting there by bike is no fun at all. For the indefatigable, you can climb to the summit of nearby <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/28Do8EZSMwsHqNV8A\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Montana Amarilla<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or continue along the coast to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/TFNUy3nMSsHrJ2sK8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playa La Cocina<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To reach either Playa de las Conchas or Playa Francesca, if you have absolutely no desire to walk or ride, once you arrive at the port you can arrange to be transferred aboard jeeps that act as cabs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you travel with a tent you can camp for free on the beach just outside Caleta del Sebo by booking your stay on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reservasparquesnacionales.es\/real\/parquesnac\/usu\/html\/listado-actividades-oapn.aspx?cen=8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spanish government website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To conclude this section, if you are looking for some more ideas for some excursions on the island, I recommend checking out <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.picobarro.com\/Rutas\/Canarias.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this site<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05284.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Playa Francesca.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"iti\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\r\n<div id=\"itinerari\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Since I no longer run ads, if you found this article helpful, please consider purchasing your <a href=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/en\/start-here\/safety\/travel-insurance\/\">travel insurance<\/a> through one of the links on this site.

With that much time, I recommend following the one-week itinerary and adding a few days to spend at the beach or otherwise without necessarily feeling the &#8220;need to visit.&#8221; \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05160.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Teguise.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"how\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>How to get around Lanzarote<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you plan to spend a beach vacation without moving around too much, having a car on your trip to Lanzarote or at least renting it for part of your stay I think is extremely advisable.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Rent a car in Lanzarote<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During my trip to the Canary Islands, I almost always rented my car with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cicar.com\/it\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cicar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: the prices are competitive, you can easily pay without a credit card, no deposit is required, insurance is included and there are no deductibles, but most importantly, they have offices at all the ports and airports on the islands, which is really practical for those who are planning a touring trip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many other companies, on the other hand, have offices only at the airport, which is really inconvenient if instead of getting on a plane you want to drop your car off at the port and get on a ferry to another island.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, if you have an inter-island road trip on your mind or for whatever reason you don&#8217;t want to drop your car off at the airport, Cicar is probably the best option. In all other cases, it&#8217;s definitely worth considering other car rentals by checking out sites like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/?a_aid=ilbackpacker\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discover Cars<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In any case, whether it&#8217;s Cicar or any other company, if you have specific dates, I recommend booking the car a few weeks in advance; doing so can really save you a lot compared to last-minute bookings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be noted that virtually all rental companies technically do not permit driving on dirt roads. Despite this, we have driven on dirt roads several times, but you might get in trouble if something happens.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, some companies technically allow you to take your rental car to another island via ferry, provided you return it to the original island. Many rental agreements explicitly prohibit leaving the island altogether. My advice, if needed, is to consider renting a separate car for each island you visit or at the very least inquire about the specific rental policies regarding inter-island travel.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05099.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Driving around Lanzarote.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Buses in <\/b><b>Lanzarote<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re traveling alone and want to save money compared to the cost of renting a car, have only a few excursions on your mind that you can arrange with some organized tours, don&#8217;t feel like driving or for any other reason don&#8217;t want to rent a car, public transportation is not bad at all and you can get to virtually any destination on the island with a little planning.

Prices tend to be very similar but in general Binter seems to be slightly cheaper and has special fares for those under 29.

As a general rule, if you are traveling to the nearest or the next island\u2014such as from Lanzarote to Gran Canaria or Fuerteventura\u2014you not only save money by taking the ferry but also don\u2019t need to do much planning in advance. You can arrive just an hour before departure or even less, purchase your ticket, and board without needing to book your trip in advance. In essence, ferry travel offers much more flexibility if you don&#8217;t have a fixed itinerary.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several ferry companies operating between the islands, and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/clkuk.tradedoubler.com\/click?p=313887&amp;a=3031236&amp;g=24950684\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Direct Ferries<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a website that aggregates all these companies where you can book your tickets if needed. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifically, Lanzarote has several daily departures from Playa Blanca to Corralejo in Fuerteventura with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredolsen.es\/en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fred Olsen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lineasromero.com\/en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lineas Romero<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navieraarmas.com\/en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naviera Armas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Obviously it depends on a lot of factors, those who regularly read my blog know that I travel frugally and my trip to the Canary Islands was no exception, in fact I managed to maintain a budget of 1000\u20ac per month or a little over 30\u20ac per day all inclusive.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, I understand that not everyone is willing or interested in the backpacker&#8217;s lifestyle. The good news is that the Canary Islands remain relatively inexpensive by European standards. Prices are generally lower than mainland Spain because the islands are considered a special region where VAT is only 7 percent, and on many consumer goods, you pay no VAT at all.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05172.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1108\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Playa La Famara.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, the cost of gasoline is around 1\u20ac per liter, and a meal at a restaurant, if you&#8217;re not too demanding, costs about 10\u20ac or slightly more. In short, while they may not be as cheap as Latin America, by European standards, one can hardly complain about the prices.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since we&#8217;re discussing costs, it&#8217;s worth mentioning a great way to keep them low, camping. Wild camping in Lanzarote is technically illegal, but in reality it is widely tolerated. If you pitch your tent away from prying eyes you should not have any kind of problem, even better if, given the very low rainfall that characterizes the summer period, you don&#8217;t pitch your tent at all.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During my stay in Lanzarote, all the nights I spent &#8220;camping,&#8221; I always just inflated my camping mat when it was time for bed. But again, technically it is illegal. If you want to stay within the law, there are only three official campgrounds, the one at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reservasparquesnacionales.es\/real\/parquesnac\/usu\/html\/detalle-actividad-oapn.aspx?cen=8&amp;act=8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playa el Salado in La Graciosa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitarelanzarote.it\/info-utili\/camping-lanzarote-dove-fare-campeggio\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Camping de San Juan and Camping Papagayo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, to find places to camp in the Canary Islands I recommend the app <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/park4night.com\/?langage=it\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">park4night<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, designed especially for those who want to spend the night in an RV, minivan or car. It is also a fantastic resource for those who simply want to find a secluded place to pitch their tent or simply put down a mat as we often did.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05278.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Night spent at Playa <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caleton Blanco.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"safe\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Backpacking Lanzarote: safety<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lanzarote and the Canary Islands in general is an absolutely safe destination with really low crime rates. It is also recommended for families with children. That said, as with any destination, <a href=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/en\/start-here\/safety\/backpacking-safety\/\">common sense should be used<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only two notes I would make are to be extremely careful where you swim, as you may have noticed, throughout this guide, several times I have pointed out that some beaches are suitable for swimming. Since this is ocean, the currents can be extremely dangerous, especially the rip currents can take you out to sea quickly with potentially fatal consequences. I got to know a gentleman who was taken offshore with his children and he told me how he had already seen the end of it, not exactly a good experience.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, many of the more isolated beaches do not have lifeguards, and especially in the off-season you may be the only person there. In short, if you are not an experienced swimmer, be careful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, if you decide to rent a car make sure not to leave any valuables inside when unattended. Unfortunately, seeing broken glass in parking lots and signs urging people not to leave anything in the car are all too common.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-fluid aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ilbackpacker.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSC05190.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1109\" height=\"624\" \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Haria.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Are you planning a trip to Fuerteventura?
