Lanzarote Relocation

This is simply my personal Top Five reasons to move to Lanzarote – and everyone’s will be different. So what is yours?

1. The weather. Yep, top of so many people’s lists… the year round springlike climate means barbecues on the terrace, beach walks whenever YOU want to, and a hell of a lot more time spent outdoors.
2. The cost of living. If you smoke or drink, then the price of such here in Lanzarote is very low. The same goes for food too. Of course if you insist on your Kelloggs cornflakes, Branston pickle, and Lenor fabric softener – then your weekly shopping bill is going to be higher than those of us who have embraced local products. Of course if you’re really craving (and we all do from time to time) then I’m sure that Sue and Geoff at Maceys in Tias will be able to sort you out. )
3. The social scene. One of the things we really love about the social scene in Lanzarote… is how vast it is. We have not only English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh pals here – but also Spanish and German. Hey we even broke bread with a French woman once! There is also a really good spread of age groups too. We have friends in the early twenties, right up into their seventies. People tend to gravitate to likeminded people… and often that has nothing to do with geographic origin or age.
4. The food. Ok, so I’m off talking about my tummy again… but I have to say that I love the fresh vegetables, the array of fish, and the quality of the meat here. Added to that the variety of restaurants in Lanzarote, and you’re onto a winner. Oh, and don’t even get me onto the wine!
5. Lay-ins! Hey – I like my bed… and of course the fact that rarely do I have to crawl out of it at 6am like we used to. Our day starts later here, and finishes later, which suits Alan and I as we are both nightowls. Of course working for ourselves means that we can organise our own diaries… but it’s great that we don’t have to get up in the dark anymore

Of course this is a just a silly list… and one very personal to me. What are YOUR top 5 reasons for moving to Lanzarote? We’d love to hear from you… so drop us an email if you’re shy, or pop your answer into the comment box below.
