Lanzarote is an all year found favourite holiday destinations with many Europeans, thanks to the warm climate 365 days a year.
Lanzarote is one of the seven Canary Islands just 70 miles or so from off the west coast of Africa. Despite it's location Lanzarote is actually part of Spain and the locals all speak Spanish (although many also speak very good English).
Before you set off for Lanzarote here are 5 things that you should remember during your travel preparations.
1. Your Passport Assuming you are not Spanish, you will need a Passport to get into Lanzarote (and in most cases you need one to leave your own country!) Without a passport you will be refused entrance to the island under normal circumstances.
2. Your Money Lanzarote is part of the EU and it's currency is the Euro. You can change your money once you arrive but we always find that you get a much better rate if you do so beforehand. In some cases it's always a good idea to take a credit card with you in case of an emergency.
3. Plane Tickets You won't get very far without them. Make sure that you have got your plane tickets handy and if your airline requires you to check in online' before you get there then log on and get it done. Also check with your airline regarding your baggage and hand luggage to ensure you are within the weight limits.
4. Sun Tan Lotion Seriously, you will need this, especially if you are travelling in the height of the summer season. Temperatures in Lanzarote can reach 40 degrees that is seriously intense heat. Even in the cooler' months such as November temperatures can reach 23 degrees. Be prepared!
5. Your holiday documentation I would always advise that you take a copy of your accommodation voucher and if required things like your car hire documentation. Of course, if you are going to hire a car whilst out there you will also need a copy of your driving license.
Depending on your circumstances and arrangements there might be other items that you need to consider taking with you. I always advise that you start to pack at least a week and a half in advance of your trip as it gives you time to think about what items you need to take. So many people leave things last minute and it usually ends up in tears as something gets left behind.
