Being on a budget while on holiday does not have to limit you to sunbathing and a dip in the pool. There are many different activities you can enjoy for a low price and high enjoyment in hundreds of holiday destinations, and Lanzarote is no different. With the forever increasing amount of travel businesses offering cheap flights and accommodation, Lanzarote is a great option for a cheap holiday.

Hotels of all ratings can be found on the island, which really make an impact on how much you are spending. The same goes for food, you may want to consider self catering as it can often save you money in the long run as you can do a weekly shop. Another way to save money initially when you book is to go to a budget airline and see what they are offering on cheap flights to Lanzarote.

If you are looking for a change from the beach or poolside you have many options available to you. One of what I would say to be the best attractions on the island is Timanfaya national park, where you can witness cold water being thrown down a recently dug hole erupt back seconds later in a flurry of steam. The temperatures in this volcano covered landscape reach up to 600°C just below the surface! The resident restaurant “el Diablo” takes great advantage of this by placing its grills directly over trenches in the ground. All of this is available to you for a measly 8 Euros per person, which includes the coach trip tour around the park.

Another bargain day out is the Lanzarote Wine Museum. For only 3 Euros you can walk though the cellars and pressing rooms of “el Grifo” wineries (which is a cool, refreshing break from the heat!) and take note of the wine making equipment dating back to the 1700’s. Interestingly, due to the island of Lanzarote being quite “cut off” from the developing world, olden methods where used to make wine for a much longer time than anywhere else in the world, meaning many of the old pieces of machinery are in tip top condition. And, of course, what wine museum would be complete without a tasting session? This is all included in your 3 Euro entry fee!

These are only two examples to be found online, there are plenty more places for you to visit that will not be too expensive. Remember to take a little longer to search for hotels flights and transport to save that extra bit of cash. It could easily turn into an enjoyable day out!
