Club Tahiti, Lanzarote
Conveniently situated just 7km from the island’s capital, Arrecife, Club Tahiti is located on Lanzarote’s beautiful Costa Teguise, in a peaceful setting about 2km from golden sandy beaches. Indeed, the area is famous for its crystal clear ocean and long stretches of wide sandy beaches, punctuated by hidden coves and beguiling bays. So it’s little wonder that visitors from ar

ound the world return to bask in the year-round sunshine. Despite its barren almost ‘moonlike’ landscape, the island of Lanzarote is starkly beautiful and surprisingly fertile. The fact the tourism was a late starter here has resulted in many benefits, the island has retained much of its original character and culture. The 53 attractive apartments at the resort feature terraces or balconies with many overlooking the huge swimming pool complex, which forms the centrepiece of Club Tahiti. Don’t forget the climate - Lanzarote is on the same latitude as California and the Sahara desert.

Torrija is a typical Spanish dessert eaten during Easter, this sweet bread pudding is similar to French toast and easy to make if you’d like to sample a taste of Spain at home this weekend.
Ingredients:

500ml of milk
250g sugar plus extra to sprinkle
4 eggs
Loaf of bread
Olive oil
Instructions:
The best bread is a day old baguette or similar cut into thick slices so that it doesn’t fall apart during cooking. Warm the milk and sugar then leave to cool. Beat the eggs in a separate dish. Dip the bread in the milk then the egg and fry in a pan with hot olive oil on both sides until golden brown. Drain on paper to remove some of the grease then sprinkle liberally with sugar and serve.
Flavour the milk with cinnamon, almond or aniseed for a Canarian version of this recipe. We like to sprinkle cinnamon with the sugar on the top!
¡Felices Pascuas! Enjoy Torrija!

NEWS | Fish on the menu!
There is nothing better than a fresh fish lunch eaten at a restaurant situated over looking the sea somewhere along the coast in Lanzarote. Most of the time we leave which fish of the day up to the waiter and we’ve yet to be disappointed.
The Spanish name of the fish often bears no resemblance to the English equivalent so we’ve shortlisted a few of the more common ones found on menu’s in Lanzarote to help you decide what to order.

Dorada – sea bream
Cherne – stone bass
Bonito – skipjack tuna
Bocinegro – common sea bream
Boquerones – anchovies
Lubina – sea bass
Vieja – parrot fish
Morena – moray eel
Gueldes – whitebait
Cantarero – scorpion fish
Medregal – amberjack
Gambas – shrimps
Langostinos – prawns
Pulpo – octopus
Calamares – squid
Lapas – limpets
Mejillones – mussels
Lenguado – sole
Here’s some more of our suggestions of where to enjoy fresh fish of the day.
One of the strangest fish we’ve eaten in Lanzarote is called cantarero, it was served to us twice recently. The first time we were enjoying Sunday lunch in the small coastal village of Arrieta in the North, Restaurante El Charcon sits on the harbour overlooking the dolls house. We told the waiter we’d like fresh fish of the day but served fried and he suggested cantarero, simply prepared with the sides scored and deep fried it was delicious. Later when we looked up the name we found out we’d just eaten a plate of scorpion fish! Not the most handsome of the species but definitely very tasty.
I was offered cantarero a week or two afterwards at a the Restaurante Playa Quemada situated in the South of the island on a black beach. The waiter could only translate it as a local fish when I questioned if this too was a scorpion fish, this time it was served open and grilled with slices of toasted garlic on top, it was lovely but not quite as nice as the deep fried version I’d eaten previously.
El Golfo is a popular destination for fresh fish lunches, there are a plethora of restaurants to choose from in this seaside village nestled between Timanfaya and Playa Blanca. Waiters will call to you in the street to try and tempt you into their restaurant to eat the fresh catch of the day.
There’s lots of fish in the typical Canarian tapas dishes such as Ropavieja con pescado which is a fish and chickpea stew, La Era is a lovely place to visit in Yaiza with all the favourite recipes passed down through the generations and a beautiful Canarian finca with central courtyard too.
The Cazuela “El Cortijo” is a delicious sizzling skillet full of octopus, prawns, mushrooms and garlic, we enjoyed this dish at the Restaurante El Cortijo in Haría.
The beauty of an island the size of Lanzarote is that the sea isn’t very far away and we have some fabulous restaurants to dine out at during your holiday. We hope that you are a little adventurous and enjoy exploring the island and the range of cuisine on offer.
¡buen provecho!

Lanzarote Comes Top For Tourists
Based on surveys conducted at Canary Island’s airports, Lanzarote was rated top among all the islands, with an overall satisfaction score of 8.85 points out of 10. More than two thirds of visitors were making a repeat visit to the island. On average, visitors book their trips three months in advance.

New Species Discovered In Lanzarote
A new species of sea snail has been discovered in Lanzarote by divers at a depth of 60 metres, off the coast of Lanzarote. It has been given the name Rissoella salaae, and it was found by biochemists who were investigating the black coral which grows at depth around the island.

Fobos Completed
The refurbishment of the iconic Manrique wind toy, that used to sit on the Tahiche Roundabout has been completed. Fobos was originally put in place in the 1990’s and had suffered considerably over the years. The restoration took four years, and the sculpture will be put back in place over the next few weeks.

NEWS | The wine run is an annual event in Lanzarote where contestants can run or walk through the wine region, stopping on the way to enjoy tapas and wine from the local producers, and then enjoy a fabulous party with food at the end.
The 2020 Wine Run is on 13th and 14th June.

The event is held over a weekend in Uga. On the Saturday evening there’s a kids race, food festival and concert. On the Sunday there’s a long race of 23km and short race of 12km which can be run or walked, followed by the food festival and concert.

Registration is required to participate in either of the distances. The course is spectacular, using trails through the stunning wine region of Lanzarote. It’s a tough run, the terrain is a mixture of volcanic ash, rock and dirt tracks. Walkers on the 12km trek can enjoy wine tasting along the route, from a variety of bodegas.

Registration is now open for wine run 2020 here. Prices are €40.00 for the long race, €34.00 for the short race and €26.00 for the walk. Each entry includes a T Shirt, insurance, tickets for the food event and more.
It’s been confirmed that over 2150 participants registered for last year! There were 1140 for the walk, 580 for the short run and 320 for the long run. The 23km run departs at 9:00 and the 12km at 10:00. All participants will have bus transfers from Uga to the start line, the long race departs from 07:15-07:50 and short race from 07:30-08:30. The LZ-30 will be closed completely to traffic from 08:00 – 16:00 on Sunday, plus some restrictions on the LZ-56 from Mancha Blanca to La Geria when race participants are crossing this road.
The food festival is free entry and open to all, it’s a fantastic chance to taste our local gastronomy with plenty of food, wine and beer stalls. Simply buy your tickets from the stalls at the entrance, then present them to pay for your food and drink purchases which generally cost from €1 to €3 an item.

NEWS | We are aware of increases in flight prices to Lanzarote. Mike from www.lanzaroteinformation.com has shared the following tips:

Book Early!
There was a time with the low cost carriers when leaving booking until the last minute could often mean bargain prices. That really doesn’t apply any more, especially on Lanzarote routes where flights are almost always full. As a general rule, the earlier you book, the better!

Book Now!
Flight prices go up without warning! We’ve been caught out by checking a flight price and then deciding “We’ll book it at the weekend” only to find the price has increased by €30 per person. If you see the flight within budget, just book it, and don’t wait.

**Bonus Tip**
Once you’ve booked your flights, at a price you’re happy with, don’t go back and check them! In the unlikely event they have gone down, you’ll only ruin your mood!

Look at other airports
Many of our flights are to and from the UK, and last year we flew to six different airports. Even taking into account the cost of onward travel, we’ve saved money by choosing less obvious airports. For example, if you normally fly from Glasgow, it might be cheaper to choose Manchester even if you pay for a hotel the night before you fly.
It’s also worth noting that the two busiest airports in the UK for Lanzarote are Manchester and London Gatwick, so you’re more likely to find availability from those two.

Go for early or late flights
Flights with awkward times book up more slowly than “middle of the day” times, so they are often cheaper until the bitter end when there is no longer a choice.
We recently booked to fly back from London. The departure is at 0530, so we’ve booked into a hotel in the airport terminal. Even adding in the cost of the hotel, we’re still paying less than for a flight which departs at a more reasonable 1230 the previous day. And we have the benefit that we’ll be home in the sunshine by 0930!

Bounce into Madrid or Barcelona
It might sound strange, but we’ve often saved money by stopping en route in Madrid or Barcelona – those routes to UK are very high traffic and have some great prices. You can either just continue your journey on the same day, or stop overnight for a city break. This tip is especially true for anyone who is a Lanzarote resident, because we enjoy a whopping discount on flights to the mainland of Spain.

Book Speedy / Priority boarding and / or seats
It really is worth paying the extra to pre book your seats and get speedy or priority booking with the low cost carriers:
You won’t have to queue at luggage check in
You don’t have to stand for ages in the line at the gate balancing your iPad, passport, hand luggage and food
You’re guaranteed space in the overhead lockers for your hand luggage
You can pre print your boarding passes before you travel, so you won’t have to find somewhere to do that here in Lanzarote
You’ll just have a much more stress free flight!

Use Skyscanner
Skyscanner is a great way to see all the options for a given day, and from a choice of airports. If you’re looking for flight only, its the way to go.

NEWS | Great for tourists bad for wine production!
2019 Rainfall Desperately Low
The total rainfall on the island during 2019 was just one third of the amount the previous year, and was the third driest year this century. It rained on just 37 days during the year, with half of the rainfall being concentrated in March and December. I think most of it fell over my house!!!

WINE TOURS LANZAROTE |
At Club Tahiti we have been working with Wine Tours Lanzarote for a couple of years now. Guests give us fantastic feedback about the tours so here is a little bit of info about the team:
Tomas Mesa, a winemaker, very much in demand in the Lanzarote wine world. Tomas has worked with some of Lanzarote´s biggest and most famous brands, currently Vega de Yuco, as well as offering consultancy services to smaller producers. He also regularly holds lectures on the Island. Here´s just some of his thoughts on wine from the Canary Islands as he shares both the tradition, skill and passion that goes into all of his work.
Why did you study enology (winemaking)?
It was easy, it is something that always inspired me. My father is a teacher, but has always been involved in the wine sector and he always instilled in me the love for viticulture and enology. He was one of the promoters of the D.O. Valle de Güimar, in Tenerife, and he founded the first winery with Denomination of Origin in the village we lived in, Arafo. I was always passionate about agriculture and all my studies have been about it. Besides, wine is an amazing product that involves biology, chemistry, landscape, edaphology, etc. I just got hooked on it.
Being Chicharrero (from Tenerife), why did you choose Lanzarote?
To tell you the truth, I almost didn't have time to choose! Right after finishing my degree, I was given the opportunity to work as the second in command in one of the oldest wineries in the Canary Islands, El Grifo. I just couldn't reject the invitation, learning about viticulture here is something I had always been interested in.
I was so lucky to work with great professionals, who taught me the best way. In Lanzarote, I grew both as a viticulturist and winemaker.
Tell me about your family winery.
What can I tell you about it… It was my starting point; I have grown up seeing how my father and my grandfather have dedicated their entire lives to it. Being able to continue their legacy, together with my brother and sister is my biggest pride.
Bodegas Hermanos Mesa is a small winery located in Arafo, a village in the southern side of Tenerife. Under the brand "Locartas", we produce wine out of Canarian varieties such as Marmajuelo (I am in love with this one), Vijariego Tinto and Albillo Criollo. In the area, we develop high-altitude viticulture and it has lots of advantages. Both our farming and production are carried out in a sensible way, we like to innovate and to offer a final product that talks about our land.
Enoactiva, how did it come up and what are your plans for this project?
Enoactiva was born as a winemaking consultancy, whose main goal is to give advice and implement measures to increase productivity and competitiveness of the wineries. Thanks to this project, I can develop my two passions: winemaking and teaching; in this sense I also give courses specialised in the wine sector.
Viticulture in the Canary Islands is huge and I don't really want to work only in one area; my wish is to get to know other varieties, other soils and other methods, in order to provide different ideas to make things in a different way.
Recently, I had the opportunity to know about viticulture in the Island of Fogo, in Cape Verde. I have been lucky to cooperate with several winemakers in the last harvests. My plan for this project is to keep on learning and contributing to the wine sector.
Vega de Yuco, Locartas Wines, Enoactiva. How do you find the time?
It is easy when you don't consider this a job. I consider every project as a challenge, so I dedicate each of them all the time they need.
Enoactiva has allowed me to be fully dedicated to the technical development in the wineries, giving priority to the work in the field, laboratory and elaboration, and leaving behind other things that, while important for the businesses, I don't like much, such as promotion and sales.
I consider that dedicating my time to Vega de Yuco, who strongly bet on innovation and quality, is a real luxury.
Your favourite grape?
I don't have a favourite grape. Among the white varieties, I struggle between Malvasia Volcánica (Lanzarote) and Marmajuelo (Tenerife). Each of them has a unique style, so it is difficult to choose.
Within the red varieties, I'm in love with the Atlantic and fresh profiles of the Vijariego Tinto (Tenerife) and Listán Negro (Lanzarote).
With regards to the foreign varieties, I like Syrah, which has a powerful but at the same time delicate flavour.
The Lanzarote red wine still doesn't have a good reception in some circles. What can we do to convince the world that it is a really good one?
Did you know that, from more than a thousand grape varieties in the world, only 10 varieties occupy the 75% of the surface dedicated to growing vines? People are bored of tasting the same varieties. We must be aware that we are dealing with something special. Listan Negro can't be found in any other part of the world. Together with other local varieties, it helps elevate viticulture in Lanzarote.
We have to stop paying so much attention to other DOs and start to make our wines in keeping with the Listan Negro profile: fresh, personal wines, easy to drink. If we value this, the end consumer will also do, little by little.
What advantages does the D.O. Lanzarote, compared to larger ones?
Lanzarote advantages are obvious once you visit such an astonishing landscape as La Geria. Lanzarote growers conceived a cultivation system that is still working after 300 years, and brings a special and unique character to the wines. The use of local varieties such as Malvasía Volcánica or Diego, provides a high value to our products. Exclusive, low production wines, with distinct personality. What else can we ask for? Below: a typical vinyard/Tomas in his vinyard/Ollie with a Wine Tour Group.

INFO | Spanish Phrases you might find useful:
Everyone knows the standard stuff like hola, buenos dias, por favor and so on. But if you’re a regular visitor, these ten Spanish phrases will help you notch it up a gear.
¿Dónde Está……..?
“Where is…..?” Such a useful Spanish phrase and one you can use everywhere – just add whatever you need on the end, for example ¿Donde está el baño? for “Where is the bathroom.”
Pronounced donday-esta – the accents mean you “Push” on that part of the word, the o in donde and the a in esta.
Quiero una mesa para dos
“I would like a table for two.”
Quiero is a super useful word to know – “I would like / I want.”
Pronounced exactly as it’s written.
Quiero la cuenta, por favor
“I would like the bill, please.”
Adding the “Quiero” and the “Por Favor” is so much more polite than shouting “Cuenta” and making a rectangle shape with your fingers.
Again, pronounced exactly as it’s written.
No hablo Español bien
“I don’t speak Spanish well.”
This is a banker Spanish phrase that will often get you out of trouble.
Drop the “H” on hablo – “ablo” and the “n” in Español is a “nya” sound so “espanyol.”
Quiero una copa de vino blanco / tinto
“I would like a glass of white / red wine.”
Everyone needs to know how to order a glass of wine!
Pronounced exactly how it looks.
¿Hablas Ingles?
“Do you speak English?”
This one can be a lifesaver when you get into problems.
Again drop the “h” so it becomes “Ablas.”
Disculpe
“Excuse me.”
Super useful when you want to ask for help from anyone or even interrupt a conversation.
Pronounced “discoolpay.”
¿Cuanto cuesta?
“How much does it cost?”
Especially good one on the markets.
Pronounced as you’d expect.
Hable despacio, por favor
“Speak slower, please.”
This helps when you use any of the above and are confronted with a stream of Spanish you don’t understand.
Again drop the “h”, so “ablay-despasio.”
¿Cómo se llama?
“What is your name?”
Everyone loves being called by their name.
A double “L” in Spanish is pronounced like a “y,” so “como-say-yama.”
So there you go – not a hint of rocket science, but they’re all useful Spanish phrases you can probably use every single day here.
