Cheap flights from Belfast to Lanzarote from £27

Coming from ocean water desalination, the tap water in Lanzarote is perfectly clean but isn’t recommended for drinking. You’ll find all the supermarkets in Lanzarote sell 5 and even 8-litre containers of drinking water, and pretty much everywhere, you’ll find small bottles to grab and rehydrate quickly – bottled water is cheap here.

In the background of volcanoes, there is Eremita de Los Dolores, the most visited church in Lanzarote. In front of it, there’s a huge parking lot, which is the meeting point for hiking through the volcanic craters. That's one of the best things to do in Lanzarote, especially if you travel alone. It is not an excursion; it looks like just an informal group walk of different people and locals.

The top coast of Lanzarote gets the main weather and tidal flow. Usually, divers here can find loads of interesting things, like barrels, shipwrecks and pieces of driftwood, and just enjoy the sea life. It’s the stretch from Timanfaya through La Santa and to Famara that gets it.
