Lanzarote or Fuerteventura? The answer depends on the trip you want to have.

They’re close neighbours, but they offer very different experiences.

Choose Lanzarote if you’re looking for volcanic landscapes, food and wine, culture, architecture, and the influence of César Manrique woven into the island.

Choose Fuerteventura if your priority is beaches, wind sports, open landscapes and a slower, quieter pace.

Neither island is better.

The mistake is choosing one before asking what you actually want from your Canary Islands trip.

And that decision affects everything that comes afterwards:

Where you stay.
How long you need.
Whether you should rent a car.
What time of year makes sense.
And how you structure your itinerary.

After 20 years in the travel industry, this is one of the things I've learned:

Good travel planning starts with the destination — not the hotel.

I help travelers from the US and Canada choose the right Canary Island and build a personalized itinerary around how they actually want to travel.

Lanzarote is not quite what most first-time visitors expect.

And that's exactly what makes planning a trip here a little different.

The wind can change your plans more than you expect.
The tourist areas are only one small part of the island.
Timanfaya feels almost unreal when you see it in person.
César Manrique's influence is everywhere — not just in museums, but built into Lanzarote itself.
And the food and wine are far more interesting than the typical tourist menu suggests.

These are five things I wish more people knew before planning their first Lanzarote trip.

Because a good Canary Islands itinerary isn't about fitting in as many places as possible.

It's about understanding the island first — then deciding what actually deserves your time.

I live in Lanzarote, and that's the perspective I bring to every itinerary I create.

Planning your first trip to Lanzarote? Save this for later.

And if you'd rather have someone who knows the island help you decide where to stay, what to see, where to eat and what to skip:

Planning a trip to the Canary Islands shouldn't feel like a second job.

There are eight islands, hundreds of places to stay, endless restaurants, beaches, hikes, villages and things to do.

The hard part isn't finding information.

It's knowing what actually matters for your trip.

That's why I created Canary Islands Insider.

I live in Lanzarote and use my local knowledge to build custom Canary Islands itineraries around how you actually travel — not around a generic template.

Where to stay.
Which island makes sense for you.
How to get around.
What is worth your time.
And what you can confidently skip.

Less research. Better decisions. More time actually enjoying the trip.

The website is now live.

Thinking about a winter trip to the Canary Islands?

There’s a reason more travelers from Canada and the US are starting to look beyond the usual European winter destinations.

The Canary Islands offer mild temperatures, long days and plenty of sunshine — without having to wait for summer.

But here's what most travel guides don't tell you:

Winter isn't the same on every island.

Lanzarote and Fuerteventura tend to be the drier, sunnier choices. Tenerife and Gran Canaria offer something different. And the best island for your trip depends on what you actually want to do when you get there.

Beaches?
Hiking?
Food and wine?
Quiet villages?
Surf?
A little bit of everything?

That's where good travel planning makes a difference.

I live in Lanzarote and plan personalized Canary Islands trips for travelers who don't want to spend weeks researching flights, islands, hotels, restaurants and routes.

You bring the dates.

I'll help you figure out the rest.

I don't plan Canary Islands trips from a laptop.

I live here.

That changes the way I plan.

I know which roads are worth taking the long way around. Which places are better early in the morning. Which restaurants are actually local. When the wind changes the experience. Which “must-see” stops are worth your time — and which aren't.

Because planning a trip to the Canary Islands isn't about finding more information.

It's about knowing what information actually matters to you.

That's what I do.

I take everything I know from living here and turn it into a personalized Canary Islands itinerary built around your time, your interests and the way you actually want to travel.

Not a generic travel guide.

Not a checklist.

A better way to experience the islands.

The Canary Islands FAQ — answered by someone who actually lives here.

If you're planning a trip to the Canary Islands, these are some of the questions I hear most often.

Which island should you visit?
When is the best time to go?
Do you need a rental car?
Is island hopping worth it?
How do you find a genuinely good restaurant?
And where should you actually stay?

The problem is that most travel guides answer these questions with a generic list.

I don't think travel planning works that way.

The best Canary Island depends on how you travel, what you enjoy and what you want your trip to feel like.

Seven days? You probably don't need three islands.

Fourteen days? You might.

Want beaches? Volcanoes? Food? Hiking? Slow travel? Boutique hotels? A little bit of everything?

The answer changes.

That's why I don't start with the island.

I start with you.

Save this for when you start planning your Canary Islands trip — and if you still have questions, that's exactly what the first conversation is for.
