May on Lanzarote is 21 °C by day and 20 °C in the sea. The island is nearly empty in May: load 2 out of 5, and it goes no lower — it holds there from March to June and again in September and October.

May shows Lanzarote without either of its extremes: no winter visitors, no summer heat. That suits a scouting trip, and what to look at is the difference between places. In Arrecife, the capital, winter liveability is 5 out of 5, the hospital is 5 minutes away and the airport 8, and the square metre is €2,011. In Teguise, Tías and Yaiza the winter score is also 5, and the metre runs from €2,200 to €2,600 — but those are portal asking prices, while the capital's figure is the ministry's appraisal, so the two cannot be compared directly.
