Moving to Lanzarote from mainland Spain

[dragon]

Hi everyone.

We are thinking of moving to Lanzarote from the Alicante area of mainland Spain in about two years' time.

We have enjoyed our time here but have found the winter night time temperatures have become colder and are looking for a warmer climate during the winter months. Our night temperature has gone down to zero this winter, but is usually around 6\8 degrees. What are the night time temperatures in Lanzarote generally between November and March?

Can anyone advise re. healthcare in Lanzarote. As we are under the age of 65, we have private healthcare here. However, there are rumours that the authorities in this area are going to start a National Health Care type cover for early retirees, paying approx. 270 euros per quarter each, which would entitle people to full cover. Is there any similar type of cover in Lanzarote?
Also, is there a private Hospital in Lanzarote and who is it run by?

Last question! Here the electricity is supplied by Iberdrola, it is quite expensive but obviously we have electric heaters on at night during the winter, which can add quite a bit to the winter bills. We would be interested to know if electricity is considered to be expensive in Lanzarote and, for that matter, the water costs. Also, do you need heating at night?

Sorry to ask so many questions but I would be grateful for any advice, thank you!

Hi everyone

Dragon here! Can you advise what the Hospital/s are like in the Island? As we are covered by private medical here on mainland Spain, have you a private Hospital/any feedback please?

Also, my friend is currently receiving treatment for cancer here, chemo etc all done in the local Hospital, do you have the same there or do you have to travel to one of the other Islands?

Thanking you...
