Price MAN → ACE on KiwiWhen to book
Lanzarote sits closer to the Sahara than to Spain, and the sea does the temperature regulating. The Canary Current runs cold down the African coast, which is why the water never gets properly warm and why the air never gets properly hot — the island has the narrowest spread between its warmest and coolest months of anywhere in this band. What moves instead is the wind. The north-easterly trades blow hardest from spring into late summer, and they are the single biggest variable in whether a day on the sand is pleasant or a battle.

|---|---|
| Currency | Euro. Cards work everywhere including small bars, and contactless is normal. Beach kiosks, the Papagayo track barrier and the Teguise Sunday market want coins. |
| Language | Spanish. English is spoken throughout the resort areas and by most people in the wine bodegas and restaurants; inland villages less so, and a few words are noticed. |
