Went to Casa Pedro what a grumpy man

I was surprised last time I walked from the Town beach to the Rubicon how many red and black crabs were on the rocks, I had never noticed them before

As a lady who loves to shop😂 thank you so much for your. very useful info. 👍👍

El Argentino is a lovely steak restaurant, with great views across the sea, always have a meal there when there. Nice quiet part of Playa Blanca

Love this walk, we often enjoy walking from the lighthouse to sandos papaygo when we are on holiday there ♥️♥️ thank you for sharing

Love love playa blanca, have spent many wonderful holidays there.❤ Can you tell me the out come of the young woman's court case, where sadly a small baby died. Thank you

Costa teguise in November...on count down as well...thanks for another great video

Thanks for the video. I'll be at the Atlantic Gardens in 8 week's time and counting!

Hi Mike what’s the truth in the black flag that’s being issued for some beaches . Or is the news creating fear ?

I love your video's guys! Thanks for posting. I hope i bump into you both on my next trip. I'll come and say hello, if thats ok? 🥰

Any fingerprints given on entry?

I subscribe to your news letter and find these videos so helpful and informative. Keep up the good work. Love Lanzarote and although we only get to visit once a year, these videos keep the island firmly in our hearts every week.

Good information Mike, always wondered why clothing in shops like Zara was so much more expensive here in Ireland. Any information on the perfume shops in Puerto del Carmen?

What are the limits on duty free for cigs and perfume we can bring back to the UK please?

Definitely stay clear of the Electrical shops 👍

Great advice, as always. We always shop in the two supermarkets in Playa Honda although there are two fabulous vegetable shops in Tias - along with one of the best cafe/bakeries. Also I’ve bought my last two leather wallets from the market in Playa Blanca. The first one lasted for years and the second one is still going strong!

Hi Mike thanks for the information. On our last Visit we just managed to catch the opening night of Art Tequise that opened in PB at the new shops under the Bercelo we bought 2 lovely metal pieces of art work. Would you be able to give details of when and where the regular markets are as I find it hard to get that information locally. Thanks

Thanks mike. Arrivals at airport could also do with better communication especially high where adults only to get them through automated system quickly and where possible if some adult members of family to help reduce number of adults then going through with children

What a lovely update, thank you so much 😊

Thank you, a very informative video.

Hi mike there was a time when me and my family holidayed in lanzarote wed see fantastic artistic plates for your wall..we buy some stuff and strugle getting them home..a few years ago the airline has gone from 25 kilo to just 10kilo case..because if the weight restrictions..were terrified to buy any stuff to bring home to ireland...i see something i love it then i think abd am really sad because i remember we cant bring it home..theyv got very restrictive...😢 thanks mike for all the information ..cheers colette in trim

How long did this excursion last and how much did it cost please

I bought a flying dumbo toy in Playa Blanca in a large souvenir shop on promenade. Got it home and wouldnt work despite effort to make it go. Now hangs in summerhouse as ornament!😢

Saw a packet of Tuc crackers in small duty free shop in Arricife fews months ago €6 😱 €1.75 in supermarkets..Who in their right mind would pay that

Being a seasoned visitor i am aware of the Looky Looky men. I always stay in old town and there is a regular man who always recognizes us. I always buy one thing off him per trip never pay more than 5 euros and he knows now. He is always polite and throughout the stay we have a bit of banter and he makes me laugh. However, and i havent seen them the last 2 times i have been, is the deaf people who come round and they sell bits of tat. I was told they are not really deaf . What do you know about this, as i have given a small amount of cash to them in the past.

Slightly unrelated but do you happen to know why it's impossible to get a bank account here without a monthly salary or pension. We had planned on early retirement and living off savings pending pension age but this scenario seems to be inexplicably uncatered for

Hi Mike, thank you for your great weekly reports. Looking forward to getting over for a few weeks in October. I am Irish and hope to be able to work remotely in a few years. Could you clarify for me that I could actually stay in Lanzarote for 5 to 6 months over the winter as an Irish Citizen?? Thank you, Majella

Thanks Mike. Love the updates. Looking forward to coming back to Playa Blanca in October! 👍

Mike did not know you did this. It's GREAT!

Hi Mike , just booked our flights (Aer Lingus) to Lanzarote in November . Just back after a very pleasant holiday in July . Love the place . Thank you for all the news you broadcast on a weekly basis . Enjoy your blog very much. Gerry Reynolds

Hi Mike, very good to hear what is happening on the island, we just got back from pdc last week, enjoy the heatwave 😊

What's the update on the sewerage being pumped into the tourist spots playa blanca it's going to put loads of people off

Great 👌 as usual

We were there in 1988, it was very nice, but already very crowded back then. We never went there again.

Thanks for taking us for a stroll around San Bortolomé, Mike 😊 We had a wander round ourselves when we were over in June and ended up paying a visit to the wonderful Museo Etnografico Tanit. Well worth a visit 😊

We went to SB on our last time in Lanzarote and Lolitas was jam packed so we ended up at a cafe (Mimo’s) opposite the statues of the agricultural workers. We then walked up to the square by the town hall (I can’t spell ayuntamiento), how lovely is that!!! Definitely well worth a visit sitting outside the café watching the world go by!

Thanks Mike....

Hi Mike ,just back from a week in playa blanca .(My favourite place ) .I found it was very hot .Maybe because I went a week earlier then usual 🤔 The new Lasal area is gorgeous .lovely restaurants and live music playing .

Hi Mike, very informative. I would like to know if you speak Spanish. And if so, how long did it take you to master the language. Thanks

Nice and informative. I love all the cacti. Weather in CT is great all year round! I have some Canary islands videos on my channel too.

Great update as usual.... curious what did you do I before you moved to Lanzarote....😎👍🏻

Thanks Mike, yes as a permanent resident of Playa Blanca, totally agree that the Lidl and Aldi will be a great improvement to the resort and yes, Mercadona would be the icing on the cake. Great video channel by the way

Hi Mike just read a comment, about some on visiting via you and Julie,do yo do holidays to

Hi Mike,glad you had a nice holiday, qe are over in November, its a few years since visiting this time of year,will it still be good weather.

Hi Mike, Thanks for another great update. I can't wait to get back to Haria for my second winter. You really help to keep me in the loop.

Thank you, staying in Puerto Calero in September😊

Cheers Mike

Hi Mike, thank you very much for the news update. I really like the opuntia cactus, because of their beautiful flowers and tasty fruits. It is great news that there is a new use for them, after the dye production recessed. Sadly many opuntia (of certain kinds) who grew happily for many years now seem to have an illness which lets their leaves fowl from inside until they brake open to release a stinky liquid and only a paper-like hull of the leave remains, which causes the plant to produce many new leaves and few fruits. Do you happen to know the reason for the illness? Is it caused by a fungus or aphids? Sadly I could not find any information about it, since many people regard them as weed and don't care. It would be great if there was a cure.

Thanks for the update Mike..looking forward to our next visit next month

Thanks for the updates Mike. Looking forward to coming back next year
