This is so worth the visit, it is a huge market so you need comfortable shoes! This is set in a gorgeous location and spread out and not cramped. The stalls are brilliant and have a lovely choice of clothes, handbags, jewellery, shoes, artwork and local made items which are lovely keepsakes. It is impossible to list everything. There are fabulous little shops to explore and super cafes to stop and chill and watch the surroundings, or food stalls with delicious choices on offer. You must visit the little church which is in the centre it is stunningly beautiful and so calm inside. The journey to this market passes delightful scenery and the local people are friendly and helpful.. just remember plenty of money. You won’t be disappointed

We’ve visited this castle a few times, not been for a while and so decided to go for the view. Paid our 3 euros to go in, such a paltry sum for a good few hours visit. Walked into the first part of the exhibit inside the fort/castle and it’s all changed. Wow I was amazed at the layouts and info they’ve put in, some effort here. Telling the story of how the castle came into being, defenders and attackers history and rebuilds of the defences. Great Spanish and English language story boards, covering Drake, Nelson, Rogers, and many more pirates who had attacked the place successfully and unsuccessfully. The roof still provides making views across the whole island, the towns along the roads and it’s all breath taking. Don’t miss out on this it’s well worth it.

This restaurant is in a remote spot overlooking the salt pans between El Golfo and Playa Blanca. Most people discover it by accident or by recommendation. After my first visit I knew that I would return again and again. The restaurant itself is situated overlooking a large area of salt pans that are beautiful and make an ideal backdrop. The building is divided into two dining areas: one being more formal and indoors but with large windows that open when the weather is hot. The second area is more of an outdoor terrace but with protection from the elements. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly but the service is five star. I have now eaten at this restaurant five times; I can only recommend lunches, I think that after dark it might be too remote for most people. The food has always been first class, cooked exactly how I want it and with a broad choice. Whenever we have visitors in the future Las Salinas will be on my list of places to impress the guests.

Stunning collection of stringed instruments from around the world, housed in a glorious building with a couple of gorgeous courtyards. Excellent value at 3€ per adult and very peaceful on a Monday morning.

This really is unmissable. The location and architecture is outstanding. The Church is beautiful both inside and out. Clean, simple decoration inside the Church. There are two small curved marble staircases either side of the altar. This is facing a huge organ at the back of the Church. It looks much bigger inside than from the outside.

A pirate museum, in a castle, on top of a volcano, amazing! But on a serious note, this place is very interesting and very much worth a visit. It sheds a lot of light on the history of the area. I think as a tourist it would be easy to look at Lanzarote solely as a sun and sea holiday island, but I walked away from here having learned a lot about the (often brutal) history of the island, and the local area, which made me look at it with renewed interest. It was very interesting to go and visit the local town of Teguise (which you get a great view of from the roof of the castle) after the museum, and to walk about knowing the history. Also, the panoramic view from the top of the castle is spectacular and you can see for miles. And a bargain at 3 euros. Ps there are toilets round the back of the castle, there's no signs suggesting they are, but they were!
