As a result of this great climate the Canaries have become the second most visited region in Spain after Catalunya (with its star attraction of Barcelona).Attracting over 9 million visitors a year.  So despite the current economic climate thousands of travellers will still be booking holidays in Lanzarote and the Canaries this autumn.

The journey time to the islands is also an important plus factor.  With flights at a bearable four hours.  Shorter than any competing mid-haul destination such as Egypt.  And usually at much cheaper prices too – thanks to growing completion on the route between low cost flight operators such as Ryanair and easyJet.  With both airlines offering cheap flights to Lanzarote this winter from all major airports in Britain. 

What sort of weather can visitors expect to enjoy during the winter months?On Lanzarote the temperature averages at around 20 degrees Celsius.  With hardly any rainfall at all.  The days are also longer than back in the UK – with the sun not setting before 6pm at the earliest.  Whilst the Trade Winds that normally buffet the island from March through to August have dampened down. 

Accommodation standards are high – as the island has been welcoming tourists for over forty years.  Choose from chic rural hotels, budget apartments and luxury villas in Lanzarote.  With the bulk of holidays now booked direct on online thanks to the growth in internet usage over the last five years.

Naturally as in any service business the increase in demand for Lanzarote apartments and villas is great news for travellers to the island as accommodation owners have had to ensure that clients requirements are met, and extras that once had to be paid for are now included as standard

Which is the best resort on the island during the winter months?  That title has to go to Playa Blanca – located right at the southern tip of Lanzarote.  Which enjoys the best microclimate on the island – whilst also boasting a great selection of beaches, such as Papagayo which is just a fifteen minute walk from the centre of the resort.  Along with Playa Dorada, Playa Flamingo and Playa Blanca – which are all located within the resort itself.  The island’s leading tourist attraction of the Timanfaya National Park is also just fifteen minutes drive for anyone who tires of relaxing in the sunshine.
