Lanzarote Visitors Surf In For Autumn Fun
When the sun goes down in October so too does the number of tourist arrivals for many holiday destinations
. But not so for Lanzarote. There, the weather and sunshine carry on all year and the autumn months bringpeople who prefer an off peak break to one at the height of the summer.And this year there's even more reason to visit Lanzarote for an autumn holiday. It offers events that will not only draw holidaymakers on their own accord but provide extra attractions to those who had already decided on a holiday in Lanzarote.
One example is a surfing competition, which will attract competitors from the surfing world along with keen spectators of the sport. The five day event will be a big draw too among those living on the island plus those who are on their Lanzarote holidays at the time.
With the world economy still in trouble, and the number of holidaymakers abroad well down from previous years, many are trying new adventures. Tourist destinations such as Lanzarote, that can hold events like the surfing competition, have an edge on those areas that do nothing extra and rely on past holidaymakers to make return visits. Lanzarote draws people who have never been to the island before and might well return in future years.
But when people visit the island for a holiday, what can they expect to find apart from the great weather in Lanzarote? Let's look and see.
Playa Blanca has been transformed from a simple fishing town to a good family resort, and is popular for villa holidays in Lanzarote. Teguise is the former capital and is a historical town with narrow streets, restored homes and hotels.
Tias is a less populated area with tapas restaurants and art galleries, while Puerto Del Carmen is the oldest resort on the island, and is a firm favourite for holidaymakers. It's got an active night life and a mile of shops, restaurants and bars.
Arrecife has been the capital of Lanzarote since 1832. It is a port town situated near the airport. The local economy is mainly tourism and agriculture. The views from Arrecife are amazing. The Atlantic Ocean is to the east and southeast, the mountains are to the north and the rest is made up of hills and farms.
Declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1993, Lanzarote has some of the most visually striking landscape anywhere. The whole island can be explored on foot, horseback or bike. But no matter which area of Lanzarote you decide to holiday in, surfing in for late October could be a good idea!
