Arrecife

Arrecife holidays

The name of Lanzarote’s capital reflects the black volcanic reefs sitting below the sea. You’ll be spoilt for desert-like heat, museums, castles and even a saltwater lagoon. This former fishing village, unlike its neighbours, stands untouched by Manrique’s magic, but it’s got a brilliant beach and shopping outlets galore.
