What to expect

With enough feathers and sequins to rival Rio, Lanzarote Carnival is loud, proud, bold and brash. Prepare to be swept away in an entertainment extravaganza that sees the streets come alive with music, dancing and more. Happening just once a year, this is a great opportunity to experience it first-hand. Cristina, one of our local guides, says, ‘You'll be blown away by the batucada bands that provide the sound for carnival. They use a selection of drums, tambourines, bells and whistles to create a rhythm which is fast and repetitive.'

Kitting you out with a few props to get you in the carnival spirit, we'll transport you to Puerto del Carmen – the heart of the action. Joining throngs of locals and visitors, Lanzarote's top carnival is a street party like you've never seen. With colourful costumes, sky-high headdresses and extravagant parades, it's a case of the brighter, the better. ‘The drumbeat gets everyone in the mood for a party,' Cristina says. ‘As you get close to the drums, you can feel the vibration, and you can't help but start to move to the rhythm.'

In the run up to the fiesta, each carnival has a queen and a drag queen elected, so expect to see plenty of skimpy outfits and gaudy makeup, shaking along to salsa beats. It all culminates in a spectacular procession on Saturday, 8 March, when streams of bands and cabaret dancers zigzag through the streets in a feast of flamboyant fun. Glitz, glamour and lots of excitement – if you're on the island, don't miss out.

Lanzarote tour with Timanfaya National Park and Jameos del Agua

This grand tour of Lanzarote leaves no stone unturned. ‘You'll unearth the secrets of this volcanic island through the eyes of someone who has made it their home,' says Daria, one of our expert guides. Discover the island's spectacular green north and the volcanic south, visiting Timanfaya National Park, Jameos del Agua caves and a winery along the way.The fun starts with a trip to the subterranean salt lake at Jameos del Agua. This ancient volcanic cavern was converted into a bar and concert space by local architectural legend, Cesar Manrique. After lunch, you'll get to find out how grapes are grown at a volcanic soil winery. You'll sample one-of-a-kind local wines from La Geria, a unique wine-growing region created after the Timanfaya volcanic eruptions 300 years ago. Next up is the Salinas de Janubio salt flats where traditional methods are still in use. Seawater enters shallow basins, evaporates under the sun, and workers harvest the salt manually. These salt flats are a haven for migratory and coastal bird species.Thanks to its otherworldly natural landscape, Lanzarote was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1993. And the star of the show here is undoubtedly Timanfaya National Park. Follow the famous Lunar Route and explore lava fields, volcano craters and steaming geysers as you learn about why the whole island has achieved this special UNESCO-listed status. Then, experience it up close as you feel the heat beneath your feet and witness brushwood burn into flames.

Lanzarote wine-tasting and museum tour at Bodega Finca Mota

From the ashes of Lanzarote's volcanic eruptions spring vines that're as packed with heritage as they are in nutrients. And you can expect to be fully absorbed in the traditional world of naturally crafted wines on this visit to Bodega Finca Mota Artesanal, a family-run winery in the heart of the Tias region. This is more than your average wine-tasting. You'll begin with a private tour of the bodega's museum.

Your guide will help you identify the distinctive character and flavours of each one and explain what makes these wines so different to their European cousins. Of course you can't have wine without perfectly paired nibbles, so you'll graze on a board of premium local cheeses and traditionally cured tuna – a local delicacy.
