Pre-travel Lanzarote information

Lanzarote time Zone is the same as the UK. Hire a car and discover the island's remote areas and unspoilt villages. Visitors are advised to park in the municipal car park in Arrecife as parking in the centre is limited and that streets are narrow. Enjoy local foods, try mojo and papas arrugadas, potatoes and a tasty sauce. This is usually eaten with fish. Food and drink is generally cheaper than in Britain and eating out can be cheaper than in London. For good value at lunchtime, try the set menu which costs about EUR10 upwards. The Duty Free status means cigarettes, alcohol and perfume are cheaper than in the UK.
