Lanzarote in January
Around 18.5 °C by day, sea 19.3 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 of 4.
January on Lanzarote is 18.5 °C by day and 19.3 °C in the sea. Twenty degrees in January is what people fly here from northern Europe for: on mainland Spain's coast the water is 13–15 °C that month.
January is the peak of the winter season: load 3 out of 4, and a full 4 in the resort towns of Teguise, Tías and Yaiza. Arrecife stays an ordinary town — the capital, with its schools, its port and its market — and January is when the difference shows best. The square metre is €1,942 in Arrecife against €2,600 in Yaiza: for six hundred euros of difference you get either neighbours all year or neighbours from November to March.
