Tips for Enjoying Christmas with Family in Lanzarote

• Check official schedules: many events may change due to weather or capacity; review municipal programs before heading out.
• Arrive early at markets: weekends and holidays get crowded quickly, especially in Arrecife, Teguise and Puerto del Carmen.
• Best transport: in busy areas (Arrecife, Costa Teguise, Playa Blanca), walking, taking the bus or using a taxi is often easier than driving.
• Combine activities: fairs, nativity scenes, concerts and workshops work very well together in a single day for families with children.
• More Christmas ideas: for concerts and folklore, see our Navidad Isleña 2025–2026 guide, and for races and sporting events, check the Lanzarote Sports Agenda December 2025.
