Gran Canaria and Lanzarote, Spain

Looking for a little sunshine? Then add Gran Canaria or Lanzarote to your list of places to travel to in March. Stay in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, to enjoy the 7km parade of Carnival of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria while dancing to upbeat music, admiring the colorful floats and taking it all in with a whirl. Plus, Teguise, where our Radisson Blu Resort, Lanzarote is located, offers a fascinating traditional event that sees locals dressing up as devils. 
 
Not for the faint of heart, Lanzarote also offers El Quemao as one of the best surfing spots in the world. Catch the powerful waves or admire them from the comfort of La Santa, a quaint, picturesque village where you can embark on a culinary adventure of your own, while surrounded by the impressively white-washed façades of the local architecture. March is also the perfect time for a trip to Timanfaya National Park, where you can take a bus or guided walk through the active volcanoes! If you are after a bigger challenge, choose an adventurous mountain bike ride to wander in the isolated nature. Whatever you choose, Lanzarote guarantees a visit as intense as the island's vivacity, complemented by its nature's extreme ruggedness, sharp coastline, and otherworldly beauty.
