With its long days, June is an ideal time to enjoy cultural events throughout the island of Lanzarote, although for that, first of all, you have to be aware.
Responding to numerous requests from readers, La Voz de Lanzarote inaugurates a new section in which it gathers the main cultural events of the week, as long as there are tickets left on the day of its publication, Thursdays. Here we inaugurate the first agenda.
This week are also the San Antonio festivities in Tías, Los Valles and Güime. Click on the name of the town to see the festival program.
