With an average all year round temperature of 24 degrees C, 3000 hour of annual sunshine, rainfall at less than 150 mm per anum, an array of beautiful beaches and a unique volcanic landscape the development of tourism was inevitable.
Such favourable conditions led to vast amounts of European capital being used to acquire prime land on the Island. Such companies as Plalanza , Island homes bought vast amounts of coastal land in the municipals of Tias, (Puerto del Carmen), Teguise (Costa Teguise) and Yaiza (Playa Blanca).

These were later developed into the three principal resorts on the Island, Puerto Del Carmen, Cost Teguise and Playa Blanca.
At the same time the Local Government (El Cabildo), interested in developing tourism, began to improve the basic infrastructure, which included the extension of the existing airport runway which allowed, in 1970, international flights for the first time.
Also at this time, El Cabildo created the first desalination plant and developed various natural attraction (The green caves, Jameous del Agua, Mirador del Rio, montanas Del Fuego).

Assisting and incentivating the above trends is the low interest rates that we are enjoying for many years now.. approx 4,5 % / annually.
These are again some of the reason why millions have chosen Lanzarote as their perfect second home (and in many cases it has become their first home).
