Tips for the month

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.
