<h1>Summer Holidays In Spain - Lanzarote</h1>
A lot of people in Europe think about escaping their winter for some sunshine, and they often consider the Canary Islands, and in particular Lanzarote.

But Lanzarote is good all year round, and if you're thinking of a summer holiday Lanzarote has a lot of reasons to consider shortlisting it, and lots of different towns and villages to choose from.

The areas popular with holidaymakers are:

Playa Blanca, which is in the central area. It has changed over the years from a traditional fishing village to a good family resort. It's popular with holidaymakers who take Lanzarote villa holidays.

Teguise is the former capital of Lanzarote. It is a historical town with narrow streets, restored homes, hotels and resorts. Teguise is more touristy, especially since it is close to the International airport. It is equally popular among families, couples and the elderly.

Puerto del Carmen is the oldest resort on the island. It is a classic favourite among tourists. It also has an active night life and a mile of shops, restaurants and bars.

Arrecife has been the capital of Lazarote since 1832. It is a port town situated near the airport. The people depend mainly on tourism and agriculture. The views from Arrecife are amazing. The Atlantic Ocean is to the east and southeast; the mountains are to the north and the rest is made up of hills and farms.

Arrecife has a good mix of old and new structures. It is a port city with an urban feel. There are plenty of places to shop and eat. The nightlife is also lively and is often highlighted for visitors on a <a href="http://www.yourlanzarote.net/map">map of Lanzarote</a>.

The smallest resort area on the island is Puerto Calero. Some good Lanzarote hotels are here along with privately owned apartments. This is by far the quietest and most private resort on the island. The harbour has become known as Millionaire's Harbour because of its reputation for hosting boats and yachts worth more than ten million euros. The boardwalk is lined with restaurants and shops with amazing views of the harbour. Attractions include a whale and dolphin museum.

The wonderful climate throughout the year is conducive to a variety of sports activities, and the Lanzarote weather really does help boost the number of holidaymakers. There's a choice of golf, diving, horseback riding, tennis and windsurfing.

And it's not just sports but traditional holiday activities that the island is good for too. The Guinate Tropical Park and Penguin Paradise near Haria for example offers a very unique array of wildlife. The penguin enclosure, Penguin Paradise is a spectacle in itself. The underwater viewing pool gives visitors the unique experience of seeing the behaviour of penguins while underwater. It is simply amazing to see how these incredible birds behave in their natural habitat.

So if you're currently considering a summer holiday, why not consider Lanzarote for yourshortlist?
