February in Lanzarote. Make the most of the shortest month of the year

Crazy February, with its twenty-eight days.

As you can see, this proverb says it all.

It’s the shortest month of the year and it happens in the winter, so it just can’t win.

In some places, it can even feel very long.

However, in Lanzarote, it offers the opportunity to enjoy it to the fullest because, as you are well aware, our weather is great all year long.

Even in February.

Are you sure that winter is a good time for visiting Lanzarote?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions because it’s hard to imagine that you can travel to summertime while it’s quite cold in your city.

The answer is, “Of course!”

The days are warm, the nights a bit colder, but the sun continues to shine with the same joy as always.

Here, you can bathe in the waters of the Atlantic or explore the island with its distinctive culture that will surely surprise you.

And there are many more things that we’ll discover today.

However, be warned! As we’ve already mentioned, you’ll find it hard to resist a visit.

We recommend these activities:

A trip to Fuerteventura.

Hop aboard a ferry to visit Fuerteventura’s nearby island and cover the mere eight miles between the two of them in just 30 minutes.

Boats depart from Playa Blanca and arrive at the Port of Corralejo.

You’ll have free Wi-Fi and a bar with drinks and snacks during the trip.

We suggest that you purchase your ticket ahead of time to ensure a spot during your preferred time slot. You can buy it here.

It is the last large project of the artist Cesar Manrique in Lanzarote.

Timanfaya National Park.

Just like the majority of the island itself, this terrain of this 19-square-mile national park has been shaped by earthquakes, eruptions and sea water filtration.

It can only be visited by purchasing an entry ticket (we suggest doing so in advance) that includes a guided bus tour and an on-site demonstration of the heat that still rises from the ground.

There are travel vouchers that combine this visit with other tourist destinations, such as the Jardin de Cactus or the Jameos del Agua.

Charco de los Clicos.

This isn’t the first time we’ve suggested visiting this natural reserve. However, the deep green colour of this lake in striking contrast to the black sand of El Golfo beach will make you wonder, for a few moments, whether you have been beamed away to another planet.

Dive in a submarine.

If you’re a sea bed enthusiast, you will love the unique experience of travelling inside a submarine.

In this 100-foot-deep immersion, you ‘ll be able to admire marine fauna through large picture windows.

These are ancient salt flats in Yaiza, and you won’t be able to easily forget the views of the colours reflected at sunset.

Jameos del Agua.

Created by Cesar Manrique, this natural space is located inside a volcanic tube.

The word “jameo” originates from Guanche, the language of aboriginal inhabitants of the Canary Islands in the 15th century. It’s used to describe the openings created by a collapsed ceiling of a lava tube, in this case, that of the Volcan de la Corona.

Today, it’s a natural auditorium that boast impressive beauty and acoustics that, along with its abundant underground aquatic habitat, creates a striking crystal clear lagoon .
