The attractions of Lanzarote

By Eliza F Cartwright


Of the popular Canary Islands Lanzarote is only the fourth largest but nonetheless it still attracts huge numbers of holiday makers every year. As the closest of the Canaries to the African coast Lanzarote of course enjoys high temperatures all year round with the summer months often seeing 30 plus degrees. Even in the winter though the temperature rarely drops below 20 degrees and this heat along with everything else Lanzarote has to offer makes it a great destination for a holiday.

Visitors to Lanzarote usually like to make the most of the many adrenaline filled activities which are available to try around the island. Most people like theme parks and Lanzarote has one unlike any other theme park in the world. The Rancho Texas theme park is a favourite attraction for people on their first visit to Lanzarote but also for people who have been to the island and the park many times before.

The Rancho Texas theme park is suitable for people of all ages and has lots of different activities for people to try when there. The park has gold panning, canoeing, swimming and pony riding for people to try their hand at. It also has a zoo with both small and large animals many of which the visitors can interact with and some they can even hold if they want to.

After people have spent a lot of their day trying the many different activities the park has to offer a great way to relax is to sit and enjoy the brilliant shows which happen throughout the day. There are plenty of refreshments available so people can sit in comfort and watch birds of prey flying around the arena and the super-intelligent sea-lions putting on an excellent dance show.

Around the island there are plenty of other things for people to try however they aren't confined to one theme park. On most of the beaches people can try their hand at jet-skiing, banana boats or the do-nuts. Then there are the various water parks around the island with plenty of different pools and slides to get the heart racing a little bit. For the adrenaline junky Lanzarote also has go-karts with some challenging circuits too.
