Many countries become more expensive as they become more popular, but Lanzarote has not been entirely swayed by this trend. If your economy allows it, you could use the money saved to start your vacation with the luxury of a private plane.
Although some things may be considered expensive, the key is that most activities, meals and everything else is excellent value for money, with the euro being the legal currency.

The islands have made it quite easy to travel between them, with numerous boat trips and excursions offered daily, as well as good air connectivity, allowing you to explore the Canary Islands in depth.
