The Spanish island of Lanzarote has been praised for being aesthetically pleasing as well as "surprisingly" rich in culture.

Speaking to the Times, editor of the Lanzarote Guidebook Nick Ball commented that the island is beautiful and talked about his own Spanish property on the island, which is partially run on solar power.

Commenting on the best parts of the island to invest in Spanish property, Mr Ball said that prices in areas such as Puerto del Carmen are lower than when he first arrived on the island some eight years ago.

"Studio flats there go for less than £50,000, while two-bedroom villas with pools start at just under £200,000," the newspaper noted.

Brits may also find that a Spanish property on Lanzarote proves ideal in terms of ease of access, as low-cost carrier Ryanair flies to the destination and airlines Monarch and Jet2 is set to launch new routes in the future.

As well as this, easyJet is set to introduce flights from Liverpool to Lanzarote this winter.
