Lanzarote vs Fuerteventura? Choosing a single island is complicated because it is a very subjective and personal decision.

The beaches of Fuerteventura are very famous but Lanzarote offers you many other interesting options because there are many corners to discover, such as its caves or its natural pools, which are spectacular.

In addition, from Lanzarote you can access in a short time the island of La Graciosa, another great paradise of the Canary Islands that has a special charm.

Both Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are two paradises 100% recommended. Both are very beautiful islands with many options for culture and leisure, although Lanzarote is easier to travel around because it is smaller. And the local life is very quiet, another attraction if you are looking to disconnect.

In addition, if you stay in Lanzarote you can always dedicate a day and visit Fuerteventura to discover its most important places of interest because they are a ferry ride away.

Both for a family holiday and for a couple’s getaway, there is a varied tourist offer. The complicated thing is to choose, the easiest thing is to enjoy your free time!
