Swapping Snow and Santa for Sun, Sea and Sand

OK, so it's not everyones cup of tea, but more and more of us are ditching the cold UK for warmer climates at Christmas, and Lanzarote is proving to be a very popular destination.

Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands and just 70 miles off the coast of the Sahara, enjoys a year round warm climate and is a popular year round holiday destination. The weather in Lanzarote around Christmas averages at around 21.5 degrees and with 6 hours of sunshine it's perfect to sit out in the sun whilst enjoying a Christmas drink (Canaries Honey Rum is our favorite!)

Spain doesn't celebrate Christmas until the 6th January so it might seem strange that 25th December comes across as 'business as usual'. This does mean that there are plenty of places for you to enjoy a nice meal whilst looking out over the sea - however whilst many restaurants put on a Christmas Menu don't expect a traditional turkey meal with all the trimmings!

Generally we have found that holiday deals during the festive period can be a little more expensive than usual, probably due to demand, but what you can guarantee is a fantastically, warm festive celebration.
