Out of all of the islands.... why did you choose lanzarote ?

Myself and the missus are lucky enough to go for a week either side of Christmas to break up the weather in bronteland

I did like la palma but that’s another story and no direct flights from yeadon

I’m from Denholme . Where men are men and sheep are scared stiff cos we all wear wellies

Just off to bed. I'll reply tmrw

Leave him alone, poor bloke is reduced to drinking Budweiser. Can a man sink any lower?

Right then.

There are 4 main islands. Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Tenerife.

G.C. and Tenerife are highly populated and built up. A lot of the places feel like the mainland.
Here on Lanzarote it always feels like an island.

We visit Fuerteventura several times a year. Great to visit but it always seems scruffy and run-down. No appeal to live there.

If i won the lottery, I wouldn't leave this island. It's my perfect place.

We've travelled the world extensively and both feel this is the best place we've been.

I would choose lanzarote, because its seems to be at my level, boozy and scruffy
Tenerife seemd too posh for me, not visited the others.
