Which holiday destination in Europe enjoys sunshine all year round? It's a bit of a trick question, as the seven Canary Islands are in fact located off the coast of Morocco in West Africa, hundreds of miles south of the mainland - but still part of Spain and therefore within the EU. Creating a twelve month holiday season.
As a result of this great climate the Canaries have become the second most visited region in Spain after Catalunya (with its star attraction of Barcelona) attracting over 9 million visitors a year. So despite the current economic climate thousands of travellers will still be booking holidays in Lanzarote and the Canaries this autumn.
The journey time to the islands is also an important plus factor. With flights at a bearable four hours. Shorter than any competing mid-haul destination such as Egypt. And usually at much cheaper prices too - thanks to growing completion on the route between low cost flight operators such as Ryanair and easyJet. With both airlines offering cheap flights to Lanzarote this winter from all major airports in Britain.
So for those who have never enjoyed a winter sun holiday in this part of the world before what can they expect? The temperatures will certainly be warm enough for plenty of days on the beach or by the pool. With the mercury rising into the early 20´s Celsius throughout December and January. Whilst the sun never sets much before 6pm - in contrast to the dark afternoons prevalent in Britain at that time. Rainfall is also very low.
Accommodation standards are high - as the island has been welcoming tourists for over forty years. Choose from chic rural hotels, budget apartments and luxury villas in Lanzarote. With the bulk of holidays now booked direct on online thanks to the growth in internet usage over the last five years.
Which is the best resort on the island during the winter months? That title has to go to Playa Blanca - located right at the southern tip of Lanzarote. Which enjoys the best microclimate on the island - whilst also boasting a great selection of beaches, such as Papagayo which is just a fifteen minute walk from the centre of the resort.
Playa Blanca has rapidly evolved over the last decade to become the second most popular destination on the island. With a wide range of villas in Playa Blanca available for rental with prices starting from around £400 per week, as well as a fine selection of good quality four star hotels lining the shoreline such as the Princesa Yaiza and the Timanfaya Palace, playa Blanca is an ideal year round holiday destination.
Not everyone is attracted by the lure of beautiful sun kissed beaches however so if sun sea and sand are not your thing and you prefer to see the real Lanzarote, then a holiday in one of the rural villas may be more to your liking.
