    amazingg...I so want to go there...btw is it better to buy a package from a website or reserve separately the flight and hotel...

    Martin Lewis said on the tv tonight, that's not a straight forward question .
    Compare both. Do your own research.

    If your kids are sick of the same old beach holiday you take every year, consider taking them to Lanzarote. There are great beaches, to be sure, but this UNESCO World Biosphere reserve has unique attractions and activities. We're talking camel rides on volcanoes (at Timanfaya National Park), or eating at a restaurant in a volcanic cave (at Jameos del Agua). Even the most jaded teens will be impressed.

    I can't wait I just have to save up now to afford it.

    What are your actual dates for the holiday. Easter school holidays vary from different areas of the country.

    Jacqu79 & trixie73 I have put it into "beat my quote" for Playa Blanca
    Drawn by its fiestas, late night discos and clubs, water parks and golf courses, visitors can't resist sunny Fuerteventura. Discover local culture in Betancuria, home to a cathedral and several museums, at Tefia's eco-museum or at one of February's quirky Carnaval celebrations. Cool down after a hot day on the beach or a hard night at the clubs at Baku Water Park.

    Good Luck Towser, hope you can get a good deal. You'll love Playa Blanca, and Lanzarote in general. It's just stunning.
