We were a bit chaotic and hadn’t packed or prepared a thing for our trip to Lanzarote, so it was a matter of chucking it in the suitcase and hoping for the best. My dad dropped us off at the airport and we were off on our hols!

Visibility on the flight was stunning right until the south of Spain. We got to see Santa Brigida and Puig d’Afrou from a completely different perspective. Flying over the rest of Spain, it was clear why it’s the most mountainous European country after Switzerland. You could see whole geological features like ancient river beds, rifts and endless ridges. I had my camera with me and spent the first two hours of the flight taking photos.

Unfortunately, we arrived in Lanzarote just as the sun was setting. Had we been half an hour earlier, I could have got some fantastic photos of the Famara ridge and the volcanoes from above. It was nearly 8pm once we got the car hire sorted and so we hit the bars of Puerto del Carmen for some food and drink. It’s about 11 years since we were last here and the place is nicer, with a lot of landscaping having been done. Can’t wait to go off exploring…

See photos of today.
