There are a lot of Chinese restaurants in Lanzarote, some of them are excellent and others are mediocre. The Golden City found on the Avenida del Jablillo in Costa Teguise have set themselves apart from the rest by offering an all you can eat buffet but this one is fresh, exciting and only priced at an incredible €4.50 per person.
The restaurant is situated on the ground floor, there is a good sized shaded terrace outside and plenty of seating inside. One thing I don’t like is the PR person on the pavement but please don’t let this put you off, this restaurant really does not need advertising, all the residents know where to go for great value and good quality Chinese in Costa Teguise. Just in front of the restaurant is a play park which is great for those families with kids as they can go and play once they’ve eaten whilst you go around again and even again, as much as you want to. read more » |

U.D. Lanzarote kicked off their Season with a thrilling away win in the blistering heat of Tenerife finding the winner deep into injury time.
Minutes later and only a fine save from the 21 year old new Lanzarote goalkeeper kept the scores level after a fine shot from midfielder Juan David from the edge of the box. The Rojillos (reds) then began to get into their stride. In the 31st minute Lanzarote took the lead. A dangerous free kick swept in by ex Real Madrid player Jotha fell to a host of players but quickest to react was centre back Eliot giving the Rojillos their first goal of the season. Eliot had played for Lanzarote a couple of years ago but had to take a season out through knee ligament damage and spent last season with fellow local club Marítima. On the stroke of half time Lanzarote doubled their lead. A free kick a yard outside of the area was fired home by the impressive Ayoze Pérez. Rojillos new manager Quico De Diego would have been pleased with his team’s first half performance but the beginning of the second half Lanzarote did not commit people forward and were looking to settle with what they had. read more » |

The resorts of Lanzarote have some fantastic beaches with all facilities but if you fancy a day away from it all I can recommend heading to the NE coast between Punta Mujeres and Orzola. The narrow road runs through the volcanic scenery heading to the end point of the Island at Orzola.
It is quite wild and rugged with the imposing Volcano “La Corona” which is shaped like a crown on the left and beautiful sea views on the right. Dotted along the road are designated parking places opposite foot trails leading to rocky fishing spots or beautiful sandy coves. The footpaths are suitably rustic to make you feel you are discovering a secret idyll but easily walked by even young children. The series of coves become progressively larger in the direction of Orzola with the last bay, Caleton Blanco, having access to park directly on the beach. Recently we packed a picnic and sunshade and set of for a tranquil day by the sea. The sea is a gorgeous turquoise around this coast line and the sand is a pure white colour and very fine. Although there were other people on the beach it’s rarely crowded here and it was very peaceful to beach comb interesting bits of driftwood and simply watch the tide crashing in on the rocky coastline. There are loads of rock pools for exploring and natural small tide pools which are fun for paddling. read more » |

If you think you are a curry queen or master Tiffin maker, Gangas café in Tias is hosting a competition which could be just what you’ve been waiting for. The team at Gangas is always coming up with new ideas and this one is a winner!
The competition is a “cook off” whereby to enter you choose a date over the coming eight weeks when you want to bring in your dish. It can be any recipe of your choosing but you need to bring around 30 portions into the café by 5.30pm. It is heated and served in a numbered blind tasting to all the diners that night who then vote for their top three curries.

We booked the event for one of the hottest afternoons of the year, the temperature was reaching 40 degrees and the island on orange alert. This kart track is set up on the hillside in San Bartolomé, fortunately they have a large shaded terrace including a bar stocked with cold drinks and stunning views. We were met by owners John and Irene who gave the racing team a briefing and they were off!
At the start of each race Irene told the drivers which karts and what position they would be in on the starting grid so there was no fighting for the “fastest” kart as they’d all get a fair race. read more » |
