Sports fans 'spoilt for choice' on Lanzarote holidays

Sports fans have been encouraged to consider a Lanzarote holiday this year, with a range of facilities and activities on offer throughout the island.

The Spanish Tourist Office pointed out that Lanzarote provides a "host of possibilities" for sporty visitors.

Golf enthusiasts can play a round in unique surroundings encompassing everything from lava to cacti, while watersports fans can go diving on the sea bed or try their hand at deep sea fishing.

Another popular option that travellers can try during a Lanzarote villa holiday is surfing.

The waves that wash the island's beaches are considered among the best in Europe for surfing, according to the Spanish Tourist Office.

Lanzarote boasts a diverse range of coastal areas - from golden beaches to striking stretches of black sand created by volcanic eruptions - and a temperate climate that allows holiday makers to spend some time on the seafront throughout the year.

Spain's national tourism agency also encouraged visitors to explore the island's art and culture centres, which were opened to protect and celebrate its heritage.
