Left Playa Blanca yesterday, cannot say Im glad to be home in honesty.

[@karencooke8762]

I love watching your videos. I watch them every week even though I only come out to Lanzarote once a year. I love Lanzarote and thankfully it is nearly time for our annual trip. Husband and I come out 7th January and stay for just over 8 weeks. Thank you for all the information

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Thank you for watching, Karen, and have a fabulous time here in January and February!

[@suecripps67]

Thanks Mike, feeling quite deflated to be home after a fabulous 2 weeks. We got to see the Belenes at Yaiza & Stratvs & were hoping to see Tinajo but sadly we had to come home! Love watching your updates - keeps me going until I can come back.

[@LanzaroteInformation]

So pleased you had a great time here, and come back soon!

Thanks Mike

4 nights and counting 🎉👏👏👏

[@AlanThompson-c6u]

Thank you for another interesting video We watch lots of videos on Puerto del Carmen in anticipation of our January visit. Have noticed that along the strip there are square blue signs on a pole with white numbers on them. We are intrigued to know what these numbers depict. Can you help?

[@LanzaroteInformation]

They’re used for a number of things, including as meeting points, evacuation points from some accommodation etc.

[@garryrobson]

Hi Mike For how long will the Tinajo display be there? We’ll be in Tias for 3 weeks but not until Boxing Day.

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Until 6th January.

[@Marjorie-hf2ch]

We were in Costa teguise in October and some British couples had there drinks spiked so be careful

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Wow, that’s scary. Not something we’ve ever come across here, and I can’t see any police report about it from October. Do you have more information? Were you there? were the police contacted?

[@Marjorie-hf2ch]

We were shocked the wife of one couple collapsed on floor and luckily someone on a hotel balcony saw it and helped they were taken to hospital and we're told there drinks had been spoken spiked

[@LanzaroteInformation]

@@Marjorie-hf2ch Who told you their drinks had been spiked? Were did this take place?

[@audreyatkinson4046]

They were to be liars would not give any info about bar. They were seen falling down steps the night before. We have lived in Costa Teguise for 11 years and I don't believe them

[@aileenoneill5619]

Do visitors from Republic of Ireland still need to fill in Advanced Passenger Information?

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Advanced passenger information is something you give your airline, and everyone has to do it. Is it something else you’re thinking about?

[@aileenoneill5619]

Thank you

[@joannad9142]

If I had enough money to buy a house I would only let my family use it for free. Thank you for sharing your news.

[@janiceturton7756]

12 days until we get there. The Navilan xmas market looks good

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Yes, we’ll be going for sure.

[@md1511]

Hi Mike, we’re here now and I was wondering when the lights started in Tinajo?

[@LanzaroteInformation]

@@md1511 Last Thursday.

[@clairegeoghegan7723]

[@LanzaroteInformation]

[@MaggieWilson-i7m]

[@emmadiegute7535]

Arriving on tuesday too! 😮

[@waynecashin5949]

camels seem to be well looked after be ashamed if they were there no longer part history of island

[@Tugger4me1]

So you do not mention the main contentious issue regarding these old but newly enforced rules and that is specific bank account details which are to be held for 3yrs, is this fact or fiction?

[@LanzaroteInformation]

@@Tugger4me1 Fiction. I’m guessing you’re reading the British press. You won’t even be asked for your bank account details. The only data passed on to the system is method of payment, so, for example “bank transfer” or “Visa card.”

[@pushthebutton4602]

Please Lanzarote no more new laws, we don't like more rules! The whole world bathes in rules! Do like Trump and Musk's "DOGE" Department of Government Efficiency. Away with unnecessary rules!

[@rh9280]

It’s not just about the registrations at hotels. Don’t forget that the EU wants to treat us as criminals by taking our finger prints.

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Taking your fingerprints isn’t treating you like a criminal. Most countries around the world take your fingerprints and keep them on file. When we moved here 25 years ago, our fingerprints were taken. When you visit the United States, Australia, New Zealand, India and many, many other countries, your fingerprints are taken. I’ve been to those places, and each has my prints. The only people who need to be concerned about it, are criminals.

[@audreyatkinson4046]

​@@LanzaroteInformationExactly maybe they don't understand how the EU etc work. Not a crinimal no problem

[@michaelgray9603]

Just don't comply.un is not creditable elites self selected?

[@rh9280]

@ until they decide to accuse you of something of which you are innocent. Your sweet but rather naive trust in police is quite endearing ;-) !

[@LanzaroteInformation]

@@rh9280 That’s the whole point of taking fingerprints. If your prints aren’t at the scene of the crime, you can’t be accused of it, can you? I’m neither sweet nor naive, but I do have a modicum of common sense.
