Independent travel is a booming market as holidaymakers can get off the beaten track and explore what Lanzarote truly has to offer.

As a result of this growth in independent travel demand has also increased for private rental accommodation on the island. With a growing number of visitors booking their own Lanzarote villas and apartments via the internet. And despite the lure of chic rural accommodation many British tourists still prefer to opt for accommodation in the two main resorts, with villas in Playa Blanca or Puerto del Carmen proving perennially popular with this market.

Wherever tourists decide to book their accommodation though there re still loads of hidden spots on Lanzarote that lie well off the main tourist trail. As the island boasts loads of natural beauty spots along with plenty of cultural attractions developed by César Manrique, a famous local artist. Not to mention historic little towns such as the former island capital of Teguise.
Arguably, Lanzarote´s most famous talking point is its 300 plus volcanoes. Which were created by seismic activity during the 18th century that went on for over six years. As a result the interior of the island today looks like the moon – with lots of lava fields and spent peaks. With little in the way of flora and fauna able to grow or survive here. So it comes as something of a surprise to discover that this arid island can sustain its own wood.

El Bosque is located in the North of the island and is such as well kept secret that it isn’t even signposted and doesn’t appear on many maps. However this is a hugely popular spot with the locals, many of whom head here on holidays and weekends to enjoy a BBQ whilst drinking in the fabulous views down to the bay of Famara below.
