Lanzarote’s cultural agenda for November 2026 opens with the Finaos and the All Saints’ holiday, then moves on to the Literature Festival, the Veintinueve Trece photography gathering in Arrecife and two nights of comedy and conversation at Jameos del Agua. On the sports side, Playa Blanca hosts the Yaiza Extremo Sur on the 7th and the Music Run Night on the 28th.

Tips for the month

Sunday the 1st is a public holiday and Sunday the 29th is Spain’s general election day; check opening hours before you go. Young shearwaters keep landing on roads and beaches in the first weeks of the month: if you find one, put it in a box and call 112; more in our guide to sustainable tourism in Lanzarote. Weather, sea and the plans that come back every year, in Lanzarote in November, and the whole island in things to do in Lanzarote.

Coming up in December

The Literature Festival closes on Wednesday the 2nd with Manuel Vilas, and Clavelitos plays a concert on Friday the 11th. Saborea Lanzarote, first planned for late November, takes place in March 2027.
