Hey everyone! I'm visiting Lanzarote soon and was wondering what's the situation with kratom on the island. Is it legal and available locally? Does anyone know if and where it can be purchased?
Thanks for any info!

hi everyone!

i‘m currently looking to come to lanzarote from november 9-19th. i‘m 31f and going to have my road bike with me. will be based in costa teguise and was wondering if there are any female only rides that i can partake in (avg speed 24-27km/h) or if there are other road bike communities i can join that are easy going and preferably made of like minded young tourists :)

any help is appreciated :)
thanks!

edit: typo

We normally always just use the bus transfer but we are arriving a bit later this time and just wondered about taxis and taxi costs from the airport to costa teguise?

I saw this at antigua Roferos. Does anyone know what the round metal cylinder is?

Still around 27° C today - 2h30 hiking trails, cool wind, amazing mineral and volcanic views. Far away from the madding crowd.

We will be in Lanzarote from october 27 till 31. Any stargazing tours that are being operated during that duration?

Also, can we do it ourselves as well? This will be our first stargazing experience and we are pretty much clueless.

Any tour recommendations or advice would be appreciated.

Hi I’m flying into Lanzarote airport next month but we arrive quite late unfortunately! Need to hire a car from the airport but the flight gets in at 10.30pm which seems to be out of hours.
Can anyone suggest a hire car company pls?

Hey, my friend and I are staying in Lanzarote this week and we are really confused by the speed limits.

We have a rental car, which happens to have a sensor which displays the speedlimit (which is nice because it is confusing). However we are constantly wondering if the speedlimits are accurate.

There are many situations where the limit is 30km/hour, on a long straight road without many houses/roads joining. And other cars are FLYING through. Even when the speedlimit is put on the pavement.

Or when we are driving in the mountains(hills or whatever) it says we are allowed to go 90km/hour. Which is insane, with no guardrail, no visibility, narrow roads...

Or a long strip where we have to go 40 to then be allowed 90 for maybe 250meters to then go straight back to 40.

I don't know who made these speedlimits but they need to go to a doctor or something...

Thanks for letting us know anything, i really don't want a speeding ticket but I feel like the speedlimits are really fucked up here...

So... my friend and I can't drive. We are 26 y/o and want to have a chill vacation in Lanzarote for 4 nights.

Sadly we have seen that the hostel we booked is infested with bedbugs... so thats problem number 1.

Our second problem is we have to use public transportation at all times because neither of us can drive.

We will stay in Lanzarote for 4 nights. Our rough plan is: Arrecife/Jameos on Friday, Papagayo on Saturday, Teguise + Famara on Sunday, and Timanfaya + La Geria on Monday.

For Timanfaya/La Geria we know we’ll need a tour so any recommendations for a good one that feels a bit more local/chill and less like typical cruise-ship tourist slop? 😭

Also, does this itinerary sound realistic without a car? Any public transport tips are very welcome.

And finally… any advice on how to avoid bringing bedbugs home if the hostel situation is actually as bad as the reviews say? 🥲

Literally any help is appreciated!

Hi guys and girls were is the best place to eat in Puerto del carman.

Price isn't the issue and neither is quantity just want to find some hidden gems and not eat the typical tourist slop thats on every corner seems to be how cheap can you be and how big can your portion be for the price.

We just want quality preferably meat and good atmosphere

Thanks

I [46 M] am traveling to Lanzarote and Fuerteventura in the second half of November. Any suggestions about organized hiking, birding and snorkeling tours especially in Spanish?

Hi, my friend and I are going to Lanzarote next week and I was wondering if there were any fun shopping/markets that you would recommend.

I already found out that every Sunday there is a market in Teguise.

But I would like some hidden gems for unique items for souvenirs (not the plastic "made in china" ones, IYKWIM)

Thanks in advance!

Ps. We are staying in PDC, but we have a car so we will explore most of the island.

This is mad

Hi everyone.

We are visiting Lanzarote on holiday next month and I was hoping we could get some recommendations for good restaurants in Arrecife, and any things to do while we are there. Is there anything we absolutely must see?

We chose Arrecife for walkable restaurants and as a base for exploring the rest of Lanzarote, so any other recommendations also welcome as we will either use public transport or get a car for a few days.

It’s been many years since I last went, but I’m guessing take a jacket for the evening?

Many thanks for your help! :)

Hi, I left an iPad at Arrecife airport yesterday, and they have confirmed they have it.

I can arrange courier delivery of the package to the UK, but it must include full packing services and documentation collection.

Does anyone know of any companies or couriers in Lanzarote that can handle this?

Thanks

Couple in early 30s - haven't been to Lanzarote in years.

Usually would have gone in July.

Staying just on outskirts of PdC with a rental.

Any trips or activities worth it?

What's good or what's changed recently? Is there anything particularly good in September/October? Is there any insane restaurants worth a visit in or near PdC? We're a 5 minute drive from the strip.

Thank you 🫡

Hello! My friend and I are planning to visit Lanzarote in November, but we are still deciding where to stay. Our return flight is quite early on the last day, around 8 am, so we are a bit concerned about getting to the airport on time.
What would you recommend for getting to the airport that early? Also, do you think we should consider staying closer to the airport because of the early flight?

(I also posted this on Facebook)

I had the most amazing experience in Playa Dorada yesterday. I have been in a wheelchair for just over 12 years, unable to stand or use my legs, and yesterday was the first time i had the opportunity to swim in the ocean. I had never used a beach wheelchair before and it was incredible. My partner was nervous at first, but as I got more confident I was able to swim out a little. The feeling of freedom in the water without my wheelchair was something I can't quite describe.

The lifeguards were brilliant and so helpful. I'm grateful for their help with the wheelchair and I felt extremely safe knowing they were there. The lifeguards don't have an easy job but they were such a big help. This will be a trip I won't ever forget.

We nearly didn't do it thinking it would be too much, but I'm so glad we did. Don't overthink things. Do something that challenges you, you might surprise yourself what you can do.
