Volcanoes, black lava fields and calm golden beaches, with warm sunshine right through Christmas. Here's what Lanzarote is like with the family, when to go and how long to stay.
The EU is bringing in new entry checks, so check the rules on GOV.UK before you book.
October to April is the best time for winter sun, at around 20 to 23°C, though it can be breezy. Christmas and New Year are the busiest and dearest weeks. Summer is hot and dry.
Ride a coach through a moonscape of volcanoes and watch guides cook chicken on the heat from the ground.
Sheltered golden coves in the far south with calm, clear water.
A lava cave with a glowing lagoon of tiny blind white crabs, designed by local artist César Manrique.
A guided walk through a long lava tube, with a surprise at the end.
A Wild West animal park with sea lion and birds of prey shows.
The island's biggest market, in the old capital every Sunday morning.

Yes, usually around 21°C in the day. It can be windy, so a sheltered beach helps.
Playa Blanca is quieter with calm beaches. Puerto del Carmen is livelier, with more restaurants and a long sandy beach.
