Good Lanza article in the Guardian

Read this at the weekend and it rekindled my desire to return to the island.

A question?

Does your mate and his wife, who arrive in Playa Blanca for a Xmas and New Year holiday, count as a proxy vacation for me??????

That's a good article. It's nice to see Cesar Manrique mentioned, but for short break ! Give me 3 months any day.:sun

I do wish journalists like Markham would stop perpetuating the LanzaGrotty thing: until I encountered the revival of this particular juvenilia in his piece, I hadn't heard anyone, anywhere, make any jokes about grottiness for, well, years.

Nice to see a mention of one our favourite watering holes, Lagomar, atop Oasis de Nazaret -- though less nice, on a recent visit there, to encounter prices more akin with the UK: around an equivalent £50 for dinner for 2, comprising main course, two pudds, and a bottle of wine.

Nothing wrong with the cuisine (beautifully presented) but I fear that at those prices we won't be making too many return trips in future.
