Have a canine Canary break with a Lanzarote holiday with a dog

Why should you take your dog to Lanzarote?

In general, Spain is a very dog-friendly country. Most bars, restaurants and cafés have outdoor terraces where dogs are welcome to laze about in the shade while their owners tuck into some tapas. Choosing pet-friendly holiday lettings in Lanzarote rather than accommodation in mainland Spain gives extra advantages. The island is blessed with great weather all year round, so it's the perfect choice if you're looking for winter sun. There are some superb dog beaches around Lanzarote, which means you and your canine companion will never be far away from some truly epic walkies. Even if you don't want to hit the beach, Lanzarote's rugged, volcanic landscape gives you several amazing options for inland walks.

Where are the best places to go for a walk around Lanzarote?

It's really hard to choose the very best dog walks in Lanzarote, as there are just so many great trails to explore! A lot will depend on how much effort you - and your dog - want to make. For some breathtaking views, try heading up to Caldera Blanca, a stunning volcanic crater. You can walk all the way around the rim of the caldera, which takes about three hours to complete, or just head up and back down. The trail to the top is a decent workout, but it's not excessively challenging, so even families with kids can tackle it. Another beautiful option is Caldera de los Cuervos, a crater which was destroyed by the force of a volcanic eruption back in the 18th century. This allows you to actually go inside the crater, which you and your dog will both love! At just over 4 km, this trail only takes around an hour to complete. Finally, the eerie, Mars-like landscape of the Montaña Roja is well worth a day out. This trail is a little under 3 km, but it's quite strenuous, so allow yourself plenty of time.
