Package holidaymakers have been visiting the small Canary Island of Lanzarote ever since the 1970?s. When the island first started to appear in the brochures of tour operators in the UK and across Europe. Its popularity sealed by its breathtaking beaches and equally wonderful weather. But this popular destination offers more than sea, sun and sand. As careful development has created a largely unspoilt holiday island.
Like some of the other Canary Islands there is a north-south divide in evidence on Lanzarote. With the south home to the main tourist resorts whilst the north is more the preserve of the locals. A bi-product in part of the weather – as even on a small island such as Lanzarote there is a considerable difference in temperatures and climate conditions between the north and south.
The last decade has seen more independent travellers visiting the island alongside package holidaymakers. Thanks to the fact that flights and accommodation can now easily be booked direct online, creating a demand for rental properties – such as Lanzarote holiday villas and apartments. Which are now booked by visitors from countries such as the UK and Eire in preference to hotels and all inclusive holidays. Especially in the islands largest resort – where many holiday villas in Puerto del Carmen are often booked up throughout the year.Information about villas in Puerto del Carmen is available here

Here are some of the events on offer this November:
Party at the Museum
Around 40 exhibition halls and museums across the capital will be throwing their doors open until the early hours of the morning on the 6th November to welcome in art loving party-goers for annual Museum Night. Absorb the atmosphere while wandering around the exhibits and enjoying live jazz and cocktails. Or take a spin on the temporary dance floors set up in the halls of major museums, like the regal Hermitage and the elegant Van Gogh Museum.
Welcome St. Nicolas to Town
Each November, Amsterdam welcomes Sinterklaas – also known as St. Nicolas – who, along with his helpers, parades through the streets throwing sweets into the crowds. This year the event will be taking place on the 14th November. Visitors can bag themselves a prime spot when they head to the Maritime Museum – arrive by 11.30am in time for the action at noon. The event is a precursor to the 5th of December, when the Amsterdammers exchange small anonymous gifts at home.
