Good to know

• Book Timanfaya and Jameos del Agua tickets in advance to avoid long queues during peak luxury hours.
• Uber exists but local taxis are very reliable and often more plentiful at the marinas.
• Try the 'Papas Arrugadas' (wrinkled potatoes) with mojo sauce at every lunch—they are a cultural staple.
• Respect the volcanic terrain; the rocks are sharp and some areas are protected—stick to the trails.
• Plan for the wind; Lanzarote's breeze is constant—use it for cooling but don't underestimate the sun's burn.
