Here for Christmas with the family and decided to try out the Escape Room in Arrecife. We chose Dead Land as our challenge. The hosts were lovely, welcoming and friendly, and we had lots of laughs (and a couple of family squabbles!) along the way, and with a little help from the organisers we managed to successfully escape. This is suitable for all ages, and highly recommended if you fancy something different or want to while away a cloudy afternoon. We’d love to go back and try the other challenges when we’re back in Lanzarote.

This is such a brilliant little museum, run by volunteers. It is housed in the original airport building and it is fascinating to see how things have changed in what is a relatively short period of time. A great deal of thought and effort has been put into setting up the museum and it's brilliant. You can see the air traffic control part, the cafe area as well as examples of the uniforms worn by the airline staff. There is a good book collection and some excellent posters as well as a very thought-provoking cabinet showing the kinds of items that were confiscated. When we visited there was also an excellent display of aircraft and airport related models, all made from recycled plastic. There were some excellent little booklets available too, aimed at children. It's a wonderful little museum.

Visit our craft brewery and our brewpub in the Puerto Naos fishing district. Enjoy our beers while you see how we brew them. Our place used to be a fishing nets workshop at the end of the 19th century. Now it is a place full of life of "seafaring refuge" style, where to enjoy our beers and tapas while you can see how we brew them, the brewpub and the factory are separated only by a glass. NAO, its the place to beer!

As a lover of real ale / craft beers it was great to finally have proper beer on the island. No need for Dorada etc etc. The beer and set up are of a good quality. Loved the quirky location, giving the place a great ambience. Staff were great and helpful. Had found the beers at other outlets across the island, but often had to ask. I look forward to finding them in more places at my nexr visit. Tried the complete range in bottles at different times over the day at different establishments. The Black Patrón, stood out to me, a very credible moorish beer, Capitan was also good and the wife liked "Gloria" a Weiss beer. See their website for beer details. Brewery bar opening times are very limited, lunch and evenings on thursday and friday only. Well worth finding a time for a visit, if not find their beers on the island.

La Casa Amarilla is an informative space of the Cabildo of Lanzarote which organizes temporary exhibitions focusing on the knowledge and memory of Lanzarote. La Casa Amarilla is the familiar name of an old house, former headquarters of the Cabildo de Lanzarote, in León y Castillo street. It is a two-storey building, a landmark in the city, and an example of eclectic architecture for administrative purposes. It was built in the 1920s right in the heart of the historic centre of the capital of the island, Arrecife. It was named a Cultural Interest Site in 2002, and it underwent intense renovation work that has turned it into a modern and functional building, remaining true to its original facade

Every exhibition we have been to here has been very well designed and presented, with supporting documentation in Spanish and English. At the start of our visit the member of staff gave us an explanation in english of the main features of the exhibition - this personal touch was much appreciated. This exhibition was about traditional customs of Buches and Diabletes which both involve wearing masks, of which there were many from Lanzarote and other areas of the world. Good film to watch too. Exhibitions change regularly so check for what is on when you visit. Well worth the modest entrance fee.
