Live Webcams in Lanzarote

Lanzarote, the easternmost of Spain's Canary Islands, is Europe's reliable winter sun, and the live webcams in Lanzarote show what draws the charter flights: a runway with the Atlantic at its end, jets coming in low over the surf, and volcanic hills the colour of rust behind the beaches and the low white resorts of the south coast. It is a good place to watch weather that is almost always the same, which is the point. Lanzarote keeps Western European Time, UTC+0 and UTC+1 in summer, an hour behind Madrid and level with London, so the afternoon arrivals peak matches a British afternoon exactly. The island's shape was set by the eruptions of 1730 to 1736, which ran for six years and buried roughly a quarter of it under lava. Winter brings whales offshore; any month brings 17 to 29 degrees.
