Arrecife Holidays

Image

Say hello to Lanzarote’s capital, not only is it surrounded by three sun-drenched beaches but it’s a cultural hub of art exhibitions and eye-catching 17th century castles. Its volcanic backdrop will instantly lure you in and better yet, the airport is just five minutes away allowing you to start your holiday immediately. Starting out as a small fishing village, it’s now a thriving city and haven for shoppers thanks to its high-end retailers and bustling weekly markets – the endless highlights are endless.

Offering a superb mix of history and natural marvels, it’s a great base for all holidaymakers. You can’t visit the city without mentioning Cesar Manrique either, the architect and artist who famously designed the island’s biggest attractions.
