Christmas in Lanzarote
Christmas in Lanzarote is of course, very different from at home. Quite apart from the sunshine and warmth, the festival focuses around the Spanish and Roman Catholic way of celebrating the birth of Christ. Christmas Day is a religious holiday, then most local people go back to work on 26th December, and have 6th January as a holiday instead - more details of this below.

All over Lanzarote at this time of year, you will see Nativity scenes being created in public areas, like this one at the Marina Rubicon, Playa Blanca. These are real works of art, as well as a great celebration of the true meaning of Christmas.
One of the best Nativity scenes is in Yaiza, but we've also seen a very large one at the Deiland Centre, Playa Honda. Please tell us about others you've seen.

The big Christmas event in Lanzarote, apart from Christmas Day of course, is the Day of the Kings, also known as the The Three Kings, on 6th January. Don't miss the spectacular processions in Arrecife, Yaiza, and other venues.
