Lanzarote’s climate makes it a perfect year-round holiday destination: temperatures in the summer are between 30 °C and 45 °C during the day and about 20 °C at night. Its winter daytime temperature is between 20 °C and 25 °C and the nighttime temperature is between 13 °C and 16 °C. The water temperature of the surrounding Atlantic Ocean is at 22 °C during the summer and 17 °C during the winter months.
Lanzarote was probably the first Canary Island to be settled. The Phoenicians settled there around 1100 BC. It was known to the Greek writers and philosophers Herodotus, Plato and Plutarch who described the garden of Hesperis, the land of fertility where fruits and flowers smell in the part of the Atlantic. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Canary islands became abandoned until 999 AD when the Arabs arrived at the island and was known as al-Djezir al-Khalida and other names. In 1336 a ship arrived from Lisbon under the guidance of Lanzarote da Framqua, alias Lancelotto Malocello. In 1404, the Spaniards with the support of the King of Spain came and fought against a rebellion among the local Guanches. The islands of Fuerteventura and El Hierro were later conquered.
Exploring Lanzarote is an unforgettable experience. The impressive Ruta de los Volcanes in the Timanfaya National Park allow visitors to explore every corner of this fabulous island on foot, horseback or by bike along its breathtaking views. The island’s beaches have instant appeal throughout the year because of the crystal clear ocean giving excellent opportunities for sunbathing but also sports such as surfing or windsurfing. Divers can see a wonderful volcanic underwater world teaming with interesting and colourful marine fauna. The island is an excellent golfing destination with a great course available all year round and a few more being created over the next few years.
