Is it a good place to visit? Any recommendations?

Hey,
You should try visiting:
Accommodation Lanzarote Holiday Rentals Lanzarote Spain (http://www.holistay.com/spain/lanzarote/) if you need to book somewhere to stay.
I'm not sure but I think the cheap aeroplanes fly over there so that shouldn't be a problem :)

Lanzarote is brilliant, most of the places there are lovely, my favourite is Costa teguise, now in recent years a new resort has been built called Playa Blanca and this has the best beach on the island, also, the roads have been resurfaced and you should hire a car and go around the island and look at the tourist things, it is never very packed unless it is August, but well world a visit
