If you think of islands in Spain, it is probably places such as sun -drenched Mallorca or party hub Ibiza that come in. They belong to the hotspots of the country, and they are indeed epic sunny onions, but it is no secret that you have to improve your budget if you go there.
Between the no less than average hotel rate of $ 428 and the estimated daily spending of Palma-bound $ 90 of $ 90 alone for meals alone, they are not exactly easy for the wallet and you know, Spain is supposed to give you a good thing for your money.
Well, it turns out that if you hope for $ 3 beer, golden sand that is not exclusively to beach club frequors, and hotels on the beach that do not cost poor and a leg, Maybe you just looked at all the wrong places:
An unspoilt paradise in the Canary
Tucked away in the Canary Islands, a Spanish archipelago lying outside the coast of West Africa, is Lanzarote A small island, about 37 miles long and 16 miles widecharacterized by its epic volcanic landscapes, paradise Beaches and relaxed coastal cities.
It must also be discovered by most Americans, although British and Germans were secretly admitted long ago – but hey, it is never too late to become a member of the party, and trust us, once you see these prizes, you will book the next flight in no time.
According to a recent study conducted by AquacardA credit card provider established in the United Kingdom, Lanzarote is the fifth most affordable summer destination in Europe this year, and in Spain it is specifically as the cheapest island to visit.
Let’s break down their finds:
How cheap is Lanzarote?
Based on the extensive Aquacard study on the subject, tourists will spend an average of $ 1,175 a week on accommodation in Lanzarote (for 2 people).
That is only $ 587.50 per person, or about $ 83 per night. Supplementary, The calculated price of cheap meals is only $ 11.88A pint beer for $ 2.82, and the return rates (from mainland Europe) are an economic $ 204.
Sounds tempting enough, but how accurate is this estimate, or can it even be a lot cheaper? If you visit Spain in the fall, you can expect that the summer prices will fall considerably.
What about hotels?
The most important resort city in Lanzarote is the lively Puerto del Carmen, with a long sandy beachA flourishing nightlife and lots of bars and restaurants to choose from.
At the beginning of September there are apartments with access to a shared swimming pool (Apartamentos Tisalayas) for only $ 99 for 2 adults, or only $ 49.50 each. If you are the resort type, the 4-star Bakour Lanzarote SplashWith its water park and luxury villas, you will return $ 67.50 as a traveling pair.
About in Playa Blanca, the more relaxed, family -friendly alternative to a bustling Puerto del Carmen, there is one Palmeras -Garden With prices for an apartment with one bedroom with terrace from $ 150 ($ 75 per adult).
Even the much more luxurious Elba Lanzarote Royal Village ResortWith its winding swimming pools, supported by palm trees and beautiful pavilions, you will deliver an acceptable $ 114.50 per adult per night.
Those with a more limited budget will be happy to hear that, in Arrecife, the less-tourist capital of Lanzarote, private rooms in pensions (Hostale San Ginés or Residencia Cardona),),, Rooms vary from $ 76 – $ 84.
Food is also incredibly cheap
There is a Lanzarote for every budget, but given that we concentrate on cheap trips, you might want to know what some of the best cheap eateries are on the island.
If you are located in Playa Banca, La Tapita is A proven tapas spot Serving Canary Tapas (these usually contain wrinkled potatoes and grilled Octopus), with menu Prices start at around $ 4.40.
For a full meal we recommend going to plaice in the sun (yes, that’s the spelling), who are primarily suitable for British tourists who crave Pub rate and Fish & Chips away from home, but trust us, they serve a mean Steak Burger ($ 9.80).
In Las Caletas, a paradise of a beach lover part of the Even-Trendy Costa Teguise, Menus del día With fresh seafood costs around $ 10.90 – $ 16.35 (Check out El Fondeadero), And we know that for many, Arrecife is anything but an access point to Lanzarote, but the local food is really unparalleled.
Malecón Restaurante & Copas, at the marina, specializes in authentic Canary dishes and it offers great value ($ 13- $ 18), and in case you have a pizza, La Rústica is a popular takeout place with ‘Pizza of the Day’ deals for $ 6 – $ 8.
Go to Lanzarote cheaply
The last category Relevant for us is flights, and boy, oh boy, they are a great one bargain.
Yes, Lanzarote is quite far away, hundreds of kilometers from mainland Spain, and in fact closer to Africa than the European continent, but a wide range of budget carriers offers services throughout the year.
If you happen to pass one of these cities on your European trip, we strongly recommend that you check return rates to Arrecife in Lanzarote (ACE), because they are usually cheaper than commuting in certain countries:
- By Dublin, IrelandRyanair has $ 145 return deals between 1-10 September
- By Düsseldorf, GermanyCondor has an average return rate from $ 69 to 2 September
- By Hamburg, GermanyThe same airline has approximately non -stop flights for approximately. $ 92 return
- By London (Stansted), EnglandRyanair has cheap in the fall as $ 38
- By Manchester, EnglandThe Irish cheap airline offers tickets of, again, as low as $ 38 returns
So yes, the average of Aquacard $ 204 is already pretty good for an outing of Canary Island, but you can usually find it much cheaper when booking in advance, and of selected European airports where these airlines are active.
