Rescuing Whales in Lanzarote

PostDateIcon May 11th, 2009 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Elle

Spotting whales in Lanzarote always brings a flurry of excitement on the Island. Recently, a sad tale had a happy ending when a whale was rescued off the coast of Lanzarote. Read the rest of this entry »

Swimming with sharks in Lanzarote

PostDateIcon February 21st, 2009 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Elle

Fancy doing something a little different whilst living in Lanzarote? Then why not book yourself in to swim with sharks at the Lanzarote Aquarium. I’ve tried suggested this to Alan – but unfortunately he’s not biting (pardon the pun) Read the rest of this entry »

Ladybirds in Lanzarote

PostDateIcon January 15th, 2009 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Elle

Don’t know if anyone else has been having this… but recently, I’ve been fishing a number of ladybirds out of the pool, and letting them dry out to survive on the garden wall. Read the rest of this entry »

Cats in Lanzarote

PostDateIcon December 5th, 2008 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Elle

Lanzarote is one of the most popular European sunshine and beach holiday destinations. But for animal, and specifically cat lovers, visiting this beautiful island, a holiday can be tainted very quickly by seeing the abuse and neglect that a lot of the feral cats that live here suffer…

9 Lives Lanzarote is a charity set up to help these cats. They aim to raise the living standards of the cat colonies living on tourist complexes, and via their spay/neuter programme cut down the number of unwanted kittens born every year – kittens that would either be dumped in a plastic bag, poisoned, drowned or otherwise cruelly killed by the staff of holiday complexes.

Based on the same principles that The Twinkle Trust on the neighbouring island of Fuerteventura employs, our main goals are as follows:

Education: visiting holiday complexes that house feral cat colonies, and educating owners and staff about spaying and neutering.

Communal Feeding Grounds: setting up “Cat Cafés” on tourist complexes, i.e. a communal feeding ground for all cats that live there, including putting up signs to inform holiday makers not to feed the cats anywhere else on the complex.

Spaying & Neutering: working with a team of qualified vets and nurses to trap, neuter/spay, health check and, if necessary, treat cats, before releasing them back in their previous surroundings.

If you want to get involved helping 9 Lives Lanzarote in any way, go and find all the info you need on their website: www.9liveslanzarote.com – they are looking for anything from clothes and bric-á-brac for jumble sales to raise funds, to veterinary assistance and money donations.

Our thanks to Barbarella from 9 Lives Lanzarote for providing this article for us… and raising awareness of the plight of cats in Lanzarote.

Diving in Lanzarote – The FCDC

PostDateIcon November 14th, 2008 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Elle

There are a number of professional and well run diving schools in Lanzarote, in all parts of the island, and they cater for holiday makers and residents alike.

A few years ago, a number of us, who were more experienced divers, with all of our own kit, decided to begin diving on our own and unguided. For us the great benefit was that we could explore new dive sites, and dive at a time and place to suit us, rather than fitting in to the dive school schedules. Read the rest of this entry »

Fishing in Playa Blanca (incl. License download)

PostDateIcon October 14th, 2008 | PostAuthorIcon Author: admin

I’m maybe not the best person to be writing this – given the results I’ve had since taking up fishing again but here goes…One of the things about Lanzarote is that, if you don’t keep yourself busy, you can end up with a lot of time on your hands. Yes, the lifestyle is fantastic, the weather is great, and we wouldn’t swap it for the world, but if you want to do more with your leisure time than eat and drink, and sit around watching television, it’s time to look for a hobby or two… Read the rest of this entry »

Lizards in Lanzarote

PostDateIcon August 23rd, 2008 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Elle

One of the friendliest creatures you are likely to come across, in your home or garden, is the East Canary gecko.  Known to locals as perinquíns or perenquíns, these timid little creatures are very shy, but utterly charming. If you manage to get close enough, you can see that their eyes are like molten gold. They come with various coloured markings up their sides, from an emerald green to an azure blue.

Mosquitoes in Lanzarote

PostDateIcon August 22nd, 2008 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Elle

Oh yes… a question on many people’s lips… what about mosquitos in Lanzarote? Yes, we could wax lyrical about mozzies… and how fascinating they are… and how they effect the eco-system… and how many species there are… (yes, we’re yawning now too). But what YOU really want to know is… 1. How to kill them. 2. How to keep them away, and 3. How to take that awful itch away!

Praying Mantis in Lanzarote

PostDateIcon August 22nd, 2008 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Elle

Just a day or two after we had the huge moth on our terrace, we were greeted by another huge creature – a praying mantis! The Lanzarote insects are certainly larger than we were used to in the UK! Read the rest of this entry »

Moths in Lanzarote

PostDateIcon August 22nd, 2008 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Elle

Recently we treated to a new visitor on our terrace. I apologise for the poor quality of the picture, but you get the basic idea of how large this fella was! We’ve certainly not seen anything this size before! It gives you an idea of just one of the fantastic insects in Lanzarote Read the rest of this entry »
