Family Adventure in Lanzarote: Our Second Visit

We went to Lanzarote in August last year, in family, for 3 weeks. Would I go back? For sure — it was actually our second time there. We stayed in a house from Airbnb in Costa Teguise, very well located, close to the beach and the restaurant zone. We loved it so much the first time that we stayed in the same house again. Playa Bastián was like 5 minutes away, and we also went often to Playa de las Cucharas. Between the house and the beach you have restaurant zones with different types of food, you have all you need there. The weather is a big reason we came back. We don't like where is too hot, and in August is hard to find that. In Lanzarote the first time we had maximum 27 degrees, so possible to walk at 15h with no issues. Second time the same, except 2-3 days where it was way above — but we were told that is really exceptional and rare. It is windy though. We found a really nice English bar called The Snug, it has a terrace in the shade, like in a patio with many things next to it. When it was pretty hot outside, there it was perfect. Very good prices too, like 3.5 euros a pint. Really cool place. Also a very good small restaurant where we ate many times, Juanita Mumbai Mexican. Really good, good portions and good prices. We rented a car for the whole duration and we visited the island from north to south, it was amazing. Parking was easy, on the street — even if a bit crowded we never had an issue, and parking is free everywhere on the island. We had the impression we were on Mars, black lava everywhere and the road dug into it. One of the best landscapes was in the north at Mirador del Río, from where you can see La Graciosa island. When we got there it was foggy, not much to see in front, and suddenly we saw the island appearing. Impressive. Many activities to do, we did karting and slingshot buggy. Many beaches too, one where we went often was Playa de Famara. Another great thing was LagOmar, the old house of Omar Sharif which now is a museum. And not too many tourists like in Tenerife for example. Great landscapes, great weather, windy. We will go back for sure.
