This year, we decided to visit as many places as we could during the day in order to capture as much of the spirit of Christmas in Lanzarote as possible.
We started at dawn and watched the sun come up over Arrieta, then we headed to Caleton Blanco to enjoy the early morning sun on the white beaches there. Next we went to Puerto Calero to watch Catlanza go out on her Christmas day sailing, and then we shot up to Go Karting San Bartolomé to see Santa racing around the track. We spent time on the beaches and The Strip at Puerto del Carmen, then we visited them in Costa Teguise, before heading home via Barstro in Nazaret, and finally catching a spectacular sun set over the Fire Mountains.
Some of the highlights:
- Meeting and talking to so many happy people enjoying the fabulous weather
- Seeing so many fabulous variations on Santa hats!
- Finding a group of Brits on Playa Grande doing it “properly” with a full table set up for Christmas lunch!
- Running into hundreds of friends and readers of this website
- Seeing how hard local businesses and their staff work to make sure visitors have a fantastic time
- Realising that there aren’t many better places in the world to spend a special day!
We uploaded all the images we took in real time to our Facebook page and you can view them here:
Thanks for sharing your Christmas in Lanzarote with us. We can’t wait for next year!
