March 14, 2026,20260314 🇪🇸 Lanzarote: Rundgang in Arrecife

We're already quite familiar with the word "actually" on this vacation... We had originally planned a trip to the island of La Graciosa, but the wind was so strong that we didn't want to spend four hours on the ferry and boat... So we simply took a stroll through Arrecife and enjoyed the afternoon relaxing in the sun on the …

December 6, 2024,Arrecife auf Lanzarote

Even the most beautiful cruise comes to an end. And that's the case this time too. However, we can only recommend this trip. The Canary Islands are worth a trip, even in December. We had very nice weather in the first week of December with temperatures between 20 and 23 degrees. There was a little wind here and there, though. …

December 23, 2022,🌴 Lanzarote T4: 😎 Sightseeing in Arrecife/ 🎅 Schöne Weihnachten! 🎄

Today, on the last day in Lanzarote, sightseeing in the island's capital, Arrecife, was on the agenda.

In contrast to Puerto del Carmen, the cityscape of Arrecife is shaped by its residents, with tourists playing a subordinate role here.

The city owes its name to the Arrecifes, the black volcanic reefs behind which the boats could hide to protect themselves …

November 28, 2024,28.11.2024 Arrecife-Lanzarote

The beach, the fishing port and the Grand Hotel - as far as I know the only skyscraper on Lanzarote - are the highlights here.
On the 17th floor there is a restaurant with a magnificent view of the city. The rest is not worth seeing.

November 14, 2024,Arrecife - Promenade und Shopping

Promenade walk and shopping tour for the first autumn clothes😉. Parked at the city beach, along the promenade to the little island of Islote de la Fermina, which Cesar Manrique planned as an entertainment center back in the 70s. The huge pool is unfortunately empty, the view of the sea towards the airport and the east coast is magnificent.
Then …

December 11, 2024,Arrecife - Hauptstadt auf Lanzarote

Arrecife has been the capital of the Spanish Canary Island of Lanzarote since 1852.
It is small and the sights are easy to walk around.
A day trip is enough to get to know the city well.
It is very easy to reach by bus and the ticket prices are cheaper than we are used to. A footpath leads over …

December 16, 2025,Lanzarote 3_ Nach Arrecife zum Weihnachtsmarkt

We took the bus to Arrecife and then walked from the bus station along the Arrecife beach promenade to the Christmas market. It was rather disappointing, however. The Castillo de San Gabriel fortress in Arrecife Bay, on the other hand, was well worth seeing. The fortress is accessible via two bridges: the older of the two, Puente de Las Bolas, …
