And no high rise buildings. So Lanzarote feels much less touched by tourism than the larger islands such as Tenerife. Head for villages such as Famara, Arrieta and Playa Quemada for the real deal. Hi Guy

Development on the island is well contained – there are just three tourist resorts all of which are located on the south east coast. And no high rise buildings. So Lanzarote feels much less touched by tourism than the larger islands such as Tenerife. Head for villages such as Famara, Arrieta and Playa Quemada for the real deal.

One thing that has held me back however is that I have heard much of the island is getting over developed and expanding tourism too aggressively because of low fare airlines. I would really like to visit a small authentic part of the island. Any recommendations?

I haven't been to Lanzarote myself (only Las Palmas on Gran Canaria) but this article certainly makes me want to go. For more tips, I suggest checking out Nick's Lanzarote guidebook site and/or getting in touch with Nick. Best regards, Keith Hi Ms. Traveling Pants,

I have not been to Lanzarote, but want to. The picture of the whitewashed homes combined with the interesting yet "gender biased" tradition of planting palm trees, makes this post truly one of a kind. I have been to the Canarias but I went to Tenerife. Definitely, it is time to return in the near future. Anything that you would recommend on the foodie side of travel in Lanzarote? A typical bread, tapa, drink or dessert. Thanks. Ms Traveling Pants Fenominal!

There are a few great restaurants such as La Puerto Verde and Meson La Frontera and if you're looking for a friendly bar you should pop in and say hello to Santiago in the Café opposite the bakery and next door to the deaf and dumb barber - yes you really can get a cut throat shave and a number 1 or 2 haircut complete with alcohol rub!
