Holidays to Lanzarote 'still proving popular'

Tourism figures for people taking holidays to Lanzarote have continued to reveal positive results, if new statistics released by AENA, the Spanish Airport Authority, are anything to go by.

According to the organisation, 133,448 foreign holiday makers visited the popular Canary Island during November.

Such a figure represents a 10.18 per cent increase when compared to the passenger total for Lanzarote in the same month in 2010.

Brits seem to most favour a holiday to the Spanish destination, with people from the UK representing almost 50 per cent of all foreign tourists to the island last month.

Looking into the tourism statistics for Lanzarote in the whole of 2011 to the end of November, AENA disclosed that the number was up by over 17 per cent when compared to the same period of time in 2010.

People who take last-minute flights to the Canary Island can still catch exhibitions by homegrown artists Vicente Lopez Arencibia and Nuria Meseguer.

Arencibia's work is displayed at the Convent of Santo Domingo throughout December, while Meseguer's works can be viewed at the Art Salon in Tias.
