Lanzarote

Any recommended walking things to do etc.

Always too hot to walk when I've been there! Should be very nice at this time of year so enjoy
yourself. The place is a wasteland outside the towns so not sure what walking is available.

On the etc side of things you've just got to do the Volcano tour in the National Park, the Sunday
market is good for a laugh and visit El Charo Mexican restaurant on the coastal side of the road
about half way along the strip in Porta Del Carmen. I'd hire a car to get around too. Lots to see.

There's a bit of coastal walking around Mirador del Rio at the northern end of the island - with
a Marilyn nearby (the name eludes me at this moment) which I reached by abit of dodging around
the fences.

A number of the hills have traces of paths on them. The Spanish have the habit of writing their
names and creating arrows with small stones - not quite as unsightly as English cairns. An early
start avoids walking in the midday sun.

hello

how many hill are there in lanzarote and what equipment would you need to climb them.

There are loads of smallish hills - imagine a hot and dusty version of White Peak Derbyshire. As for
equipment - sun hat, factor 25, plenty of liquid and reasonable pair of shoes that can keep out the
small stones and thorns.

Whenever, I have gone on a resort holiday anywhere - which is not very often - I have always climbed
the (inevitable) hill to the back of the town. Usually, after spending several days staring at the
hill behind the hotels etc. whilst swimming far enough out to get a view. Then from the top of the
hill try to work out whether it would be possible to see myself swimming if it were possible to be
in two places at once.

One. A car. And the brass neck to dodge around fences as the highest point on Lanzarote is a radar
station or suchlike.

A few volcano craters too. It actually feels higher there but apparently it's not.

Oh well, I suppose it makes a change from WHW, but even so... :-(

That's very Zen.
