2010 Lanzarote Sunshine Breaks
There are many good reasons for booking a holiday in Lanzarote during 2010.As the most easterly of the Canary Islands is home to over 90 great beaches and enjoys great weather all year round. Whilst also hosting some fantastic fiestas and festivals throughout the course of the year.
Anyone planning to visit the island during 2010 will find a wealth of different accommodation options. With good quality Lanzarote villas and hotels available in all of the main three resorts, as well as across the countryside.
Car hire in Lanzarote is reasonably priced too, making it so simple to get around and enjoy fiestas and events that are taking place throughout this period.
The year gets off on the right note as the prestigious Canarian Music Festival takes place across all seven of the islands in the archipelago during January. Providing a showcase for the best of contemporary classical music. With Lanzarote staging performances by artists such as Sphera Antigua and the The Prague National Chamber Theatre Orchestra.
Things then really start to hot up in February as Carnaval gets underway across the island. With thousands of revellers donning colourful costumes and work pretty much grinding to a halt for a couple of weeks. With events taking place at different times across Lanzarote.
Whilst not quite in the same league as Rio the most riotous Carnaval processions and celebrations can be found in the island capital of Arrecife and the largest resort of Puerto del Carmen. Featuring imaginatively decorated floats, marching drum bands and plenty of late night partying.
During May Lanzarote becomes the venue for one of the toughest triathlons in the world. As the annual Iron Man contest returns. Featuring over a thousand competitors who are all battling it out for the top prize of a slot in the grand final in Hawaii. Over a course that includes a 2km swim, 180km bike ride and a full marathon. Which is staged along the Avenida de las Playas in Puerto del Carmen.
June is one of the most important months in the Catholic calendar as this is when the fiesta of Corpus Christ takes place every year – on the eighth Thursday (or 60 days) after Easter. Uniquely on Lanzarote it is celebrated with the design and creation of huge multi coloured carpets of salt. Which depict key scenes from the Bible. The best of which can be viewed in the historic town of Teguise or the island capital of Arrecife.
