Lanzarote´s Secret Side July 21, 2010
Posted by janey in : travel general , trackbackSun, sea, sand, cheap flights and culture. What more could the independant traveller want from a holiday apart from some great accommodation to make for that perfect holiday. Lanzaorte is one of the Canary Islands that have become a favourite with the growing community of independant tourist.
This low cost flight factor has helped to drive demand for self catering accommodation on the island. Resulting in more bookings for the owners of apartments and villas in Lanzarote. And whilst there are also plenty of attractive rural accommodation options the bulk of British tourists still prefer to organise a stay in one of the larger resorts. So driving demand for villas in Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca.

There are however plenty of locations on the island that remain well off the main tourist trail for those who like to get out and explore. As Lanzarote is home to a host of natural wonders and plenty of unique man made attractions too. As well as lots of pretty villages and towns.
Arguably, Lanzarote´s most famous talking point is its 300 plus volcanoes. Which were created by seismic activity during the 18th century that went on for over six years. As a result the interior of the island today looks like the moon – with lots of lava fields and spent peaks. With little in the way of flora and fauna able to grow or survive here. So it comes as something of a surprise to discover that this arid island can sustain its own wood.
El Bosque is located in the North of the island and is such as well kept secret that it isn’t even signposted and doesn’t appear on many maps. However this is a hugely popular spot with the locals, many of whom head here on holidays and weekends to enjoy a BBQ whilst drinking in the fabulous views down to the bay of Famara below. El Bosque is located en route to the breathtaking Valley of 1000 Palms, which is the greenest spot on Lanzarote. Thanks to the age old tradition of planting a new palm tree for every baby born in the nearby village of Haria. Where an atmospheric weekly market is also staged every Saturday morning, featuring stalls selling local cheeses and wines. And from where tourists can enjoy some fabulous walks around the folds and spurs of the valley.
