As Carnaval season binds its spell on the Canary Islands Lanzarote is gearing up for a whole series of regional events. Where ever you are living or visiting on Lanzarote it’s time to dress up and dance, the really hardy party goers will probably be popping into all the Carnavals.

It all starts in the capital city Arrecife with the longest party from 25 February to 9 March, all under this years theme of Opera. The big parade takes place on Monday 7th March when all ages unite to show off their costumes and to dance the night away. The capital doesn’t get it all its own way, there is a lot of pride at stake as other towns pull out the stops to try and outshine their rivals-

Playa Blanca will be awakening memories of childhood with their theme of Fairytales for their Carnaval from 17 to 20 March. It’s a great chance for our guests at Las Brisas and Las Casitas to enjoy the flavours and colours of this great Lanzarote tradition. The highlight of the celebrations is the big parade on Saturday 19 March from 5pm. Music and fireworks always play a big part and everyone is invited to join in.

Those with the stamina can also dip into the fun and games at Puerto del Carmen from 10 to 12 March and Costa Teguise from 25 to 27 March. The good news is that after all that late night partying the beaches and pools of Lanzarote will always be there to encourage a much needed relaxation under the clear sunny skies.

Please note that the AGM 2010 Minutes are now available in the Owners Log In for El Marques, Las Casitas and Las Brisas.
