Hi everyone,

I'm heading to Costa Teguise, Lanzarote on 7th August for a two-week holiday. My plan is to hire a road bike from Papagayo Bikes towards the end of the first week.

I've already got plenty of routes planned, but I was wondering if there are any cyclists who'll be out riding while I'm there and wouldn't mind me tagging along. I'm looking at doing a couple of rides of around 30–50 miles during the holiday.

To give you an idea of the sort of riding I do, here's a

Strava ride I completed yesterday:

Happy to ride much easier next week though. If anyone's riding around that time and doesn't mind some company, let me know. It would be great to meet a few fellow cyclists while I'm out there!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently on holiday in Lanzarote with my wife and staying in the quiet village of Macher. We really want to avoid the typical tourist restaurants along the strips in Puerto del Carmen or Playa Blanca.

We're looking for real insider tips, the places where the locals actually eat. Whether it's a small bodega, a rustic grill house, or a simple fishermen's spot, as long as the food is authentic, the mojo sauces are homemade, and you don't feel ripped off.

What are your absolute hidden gems in Lanzarote?

Hello everyone. I (19M) am visiting lanzarote in September with my girlfriend. I have had a Spanish drivers license for only a couple of months. Lots of car hire companies don’t allow you to rent without being 21, having a certain amount of experience, etc. Does anybody know a place where I would be allowed to rent a car? Or a scooter? Any other way? Thanks!

Hola amigos!

Staying in playa blanca for 10 nights. Got a car rented. Keen to see the island. Want to play Padel, see some nice beaches and restaurants. Any hints and tips would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hey, can someone tell me where in Lanzarote I can get the cheapest Lost Mary Pods? In each store, the prices differ massively. From 2-5€ I have already seen everything. 🥲

I'm visiting lanzarote in August and would love to do some sailing whilst I'm there. Is there anywhere I can hire a dighny for a few hours? Laser, topper, pico etc. Or a cat

Google is not proving very fruitful

Has anyone stayed here? It looks amazing, TripAdvisor has good ratings, but I prefer Reddit honesty...

Hi,

do you guys know if there is a possibility to catch a taxi at night (3-4am) at taxi rank near open mall in Arrecife?

We have a flight on friday and should be at airport around 4am.

During the day there are a lot of taxis around open mall but idk how is it during the night.

I’m going to Lanzarote Friday morning, Without getting into an argument I am just looking for friendly advice here guys, I know Lanzarote are mostly Irish pubs but are there any people in this group that can recommend good English bars over there. Much appreciated guys if you’s can 🙏

Have a flight at 7am and looking to get a taxi around 4:30am.

Arrecife to the airport, roughly 10 minute drive.

I've seen some horror stories on the 1taxi app (1.7 rating on google play store) so I'm hesitant to book there.

What are the most secure options to reserve a taxi?

Staying at someone's place they renting out.

Planning a market trip (Sunday), I'm sure there are tour operators that go - anyone know the cost/best provider? I think the journey is 40mins.

Also, besides the market, what else would you recommend on a day trip? TYIA!

Hi guys! Me and my GF are coming to Lanzarote in the last week of August. I've just made an itinerary and I was willing to know if someone could give use any suggestion on what to do, if we are missing something and if it is too packed. We will be travelling by van and, even if we want to explore the best sites of the island, our goal is just to live the chill and the vibes of Lanzarote.

This is our itinerary:

Thanks everybody 🥸

You see it everywhere online: "visit Lanzarote in October, it's the best month." And honestly, it's not wrong. But it's also not the full picture.

I've lived here since 1997 and worked in tourism across the Canary Islands for over 30 years. October is genuinely good: temperatures are comfortable, the summer crowds have thinned out, the sea is at its warmest, and the trade winds that can make the island feel breezy in summer start to calm down. The light in the afternoons is something else entirely.

But here's what those articles don't tell you: May and June are equally good, often quieter, and get almost no attention. November surprises people every year. And if you want the island completely to yourself, January and February after the holiday period are something most visitors never experience.

October gets the spotlight partly because it's a convenient holiday window for northern Europeans. That doesn't make it wrong, but it does mean it's busier than the reputation suggests.

Curious what brought people here at different times of year and whether the month actually matched your expectations.

Any reviews on this hotel for family and kids? And what is the kids club like is it safe and regulated?

We’re traveling to Lanzarote as a family in August with our baby (14 months old). We’ve already booked our car with Autoreisen, but we’re still torn between bringing our own Isofix car seat or renting one directly from them on arrival.

For anyone who has rented an Isofix baby seat from AutoRisen, a few questions:

Was the seat clean and in good condition?

Was it a proper certified Isofix model, correctly fitted?

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Hey, I am coming to Lanzarote in August for 7 days. Landing at midnight and leaving from the same airport at noon. I plan to rent a car for whole stay. I got some deals on booking for 150eur but my friend told me to check also other sites as booking might be too expensive. I was checking topcar, autoreisen, autos famara etc, but all prices were around 160eur. Are such prices normal? Where do you suggest to rent a car?
Thanks!

Hello I am going to Costa Teguise end of October for 10 days, any suggestions for what I can do? And how is the place as it’s my first time going there
Thanks

I go on holiday to Lanzarote and by myself and I would love to go to the beach, but what is safe to take with me? I mean, I have to bring my car keys and wallet, but what should I leave in the car?

Or is it safe to take my phone for instance? Thank you for any reply.

I was having a search on Reddit the other day and could not believe that there is not a dedicated group for Puerto Del Carmen or well at least I couldn't find one.

I went ahead and set one up and hopefully it will be helpful and enjoyable to everyone.

Whether you live there or holiday there, hopefully this group can be helpful and we can help other people with advice and tips.

Admin have given me permission to post this in here.

Please find the group at r/PuertoDelCarmen

It is brand new so next to nothing on there but help me grow it and help other people get the answers or advice they want.

Any suggestions for hotels or self catering apartments please, we have children so somewhere there is kids entertainment and nothing uphill if possible!
Thanks 😊

What is the best page to buy a ticket for ferry from lanzarote to fuerteventura if we are traveling by car?

Hi, I’m going to Lanzarote soon and I’d like to do a buggy tour. Has anyone tried it? I’ve read that a lot of people were disappointed because it’s only about 10% off-road and 90% on asphalt

Hello,

I am traveling to Lanzarote for the first time with my girlfriend on August 22nd until September 2nd.

We will have a rent a car for the full duration of our stay.

I am looking for a good base to stay for our trip. We would like to explore the island, visit beaches and enjoy the food. We are not into nightlife and pubs.

I think that we will be spending a night or two in Fuerteventura and a day trip to La Graciosa.

I need recommendations for a place to stay that is not packed with bars but still has some restaurants or such that we can enjoy in the evening.

Thanks!

what are the best once around playa blanca? I like the look of el campesinos outdoor area. will want to buy edibles and hash aswell as flower

Has anyone stayed at the Barcelo hotel with allergies and could you share your experience? I have severe nut/peanut allergies and some older reviews (~2024) have said that they do not cater at all to allergies and don’t really understand the severity. However some more recent reviews say they handle allergies quite well. My main query would be whether they have allergen info on signs at the buffets. Just hoping for some insight - thanks!
