Stay-cation or vacation?  According to the UK media millions of Brits will be swapping their Spanish holiday for a break at home this year.  But despite the economic gloom and doom there are still plenty of bright bargain deals available to popular destinations such as Lanzarote in the Canary Islands.  At prices that won’t break the bank.  And a whole host of reasons for sticking with the Spanish sunshine this summer.

Lanzarote Weather
Wherever you head in the UK the climate isn’t going to match the weather in Lanzarote.  Where temperatures average around 26 Celsius during the main summer months.  And where rainfall at that time of the year is virtually unheard of.  Whatever the weatherman’s predictions the same cannot be said of the UK. 
Where the unreliable climate has ruined many a summer holiday before.  Why gamble on your main break of the year?

Cheap Flight Deals
Despite expectations to the contrary there are in fact plenty of good value flight deals available during July and August. With carriers such as Monarch offering return flights to Lanzaarote from London for as little as £150 in July and £200 in August, before taxes.

Discounted Accommodation
Hotel room rates are tumbling on Lanzarote as holiday companies and hoteliers scramble to fill beds.  Groups such as the Hotel Beatriz chain are already offering 15% discounts on their two flagship fur star establishments.  The Hotel Beatriz in Matagorda and the Hotel Beatriz and Spa in Costa Teguise.
Making a week’s half board stay available for around £460 during July.

Many owners of private holiday accommodation are also reducing their rates in order to fill their rental calendars with bookings.  Search for holiday villas in Playa Blanca for the best deals.  As the newest resort on the island has an oversupply of villa accommodation – which means price discounts for bargain hunters.

Things To Do
First time visitors to the island are always supplied by the fact that the island offers lots more than just sunshine and beaches.

Lanzarote´s many cultural attractions have been created by a local artist called Cesar Manrique.  Who was instrumental in ensuring that the island wasn’t swamped by over development in the 1980´s.  Visit his former home and studio – the Cesar Manrique Foundation – which has been built into five underground volcanic bubbles in order to gain an insight into his many creations across Lanzarote.

A visit to the Timanfaya Volcano Park is also mandatory.  Lanzarote´s most popular tourist attraction draws in close to one million visitors every year.  Thanks to its incredible raw landscape of spent volcanic cones and twisted lava fields.
