with a pre paid Medical Insurance certificate then please ensure
that you bring your E111. The E111 form was replaced
in January 2006 by the European Health Insurance Card. (EHIC). This
card entitles British Citizens to the same level of health treatment when travelling
within the EU as they would expect to receive in the UK.
To obtain an EHIC go to the NHS website at https:/www.ehic.org.uk/Internet/home.do or
telephone 0845 606 2030 before travelling as the card must be
shown if you require medical treatment.

Sunburnt? Aloe Vera 100% or ask your chemist for Flamazine Cream. (Approx 4€)
The Lanzarote sun is dangerous especially for young children. Don’t wait until you are burnt take care with high factor sun block. (They are cheaper to buy here and we have a great choice). Even when it is overcast the sun’s rays will still burn your skin and Lanzarote is a windy island and this often makes the sun burn your skin faster. Be safe, sun block and take it slowly.
Pharmacies / Chemists are easily spotted as most have large green cross flashing signs outside. There is always a duty pharmacy open 24 / 7. Tel 900 811 555 (Emergency number).
Open Monday to Friday from 08.30 – 14.00. Cash points are programmable to English.
Euro. €. Bureau de change offices
located in all three main towns as well as the Capitol,
Arrecife.
You will require your passport to make a currency exchange.
Some shops also offer exchange but please be careful to
check rates and commission payable.
Electrical goods are less expensive here but please
check very carefully when making a purchase as these goods are
the most likely to be counterfeit. We recommend Charlies
Perfumeria in Puerto del Carmen or Visanta further
along the main strip. They have both been in business on the island
for many years and are approved retailers. You will
be asked to produce your Passport every time you make a purchase
with a Credit Card.
Perfumes, cosmetics and leather goods are much
cheaper than on the mainland and also than those sold at the airport. Cigarettes
and tobacco and alcohol are very cheap in the wholesale
shops or supermarkets but please note Duty Free Allowances.
If you are thinking of emigrating to Lanzarote and have school age children there
are many choices for their education on the island. If they are young or speak
Spanish fluently then they would be able to attend one of the many excellent
Spanish schools indeed it would probably be to their advantage.
If, however you would prefer them to go to an English teaching school there
are some good private ones on island. The pupils will be multi racial but
the curriculum will be based on the English teaching system. The
costs are not prohibitive especially if you have been sending your child to and
English fee paying school they are low in comparison. The holidays
are long, three months during the summer but no
half terms. The
days are short from around 9.30am to 3.30pm.
TIP. Shop around and ask for personal opinions from parents already sending
their children.
Babysitting!
We are two mature & responsible persons who are available for
babysitting. Own cars so location is no problem.

First & foremost it is important to know that shipping your
pet aboard is an expensive business. The dog or
cat will require a host of inoculations and certification for
entering into a foreign country and Lanzarote is no exception. Please
also consider the pet’s temperament as it
is a stressful experience and one which some animals will not tolerate
lightly.
There are many good company’s who specialize in pet
shipping around the world so check the web to find the one
which suits both you and your pet best.
Once here there are some wonderful veterinary surgeons who
will take the greatest of care of your pet and at a lower
cost than you may have been used to in the UK.
In recent years the welfare of the islands Cats & Dogs has been
given greater consideration, however, there are still many distressing
sights of dogs tied up in the midday sun or worse, wandering the
countryside without a home. The island animal charity does a fantastic
job in caring for these less fortunate animals so please support
our registered charity www.saralanzarote.com

Held once a year and probably the most looked forward to event in
the Lanzarote calendar! The parade travels along the Puerto Del
Carmen seafront and winds its way down to the old harbour, a journey
which can take several hours to pass! Once in the harbour the event
turns into an all night party with music and drinking into the
early hours. Lively, colorful and exciting.
Usually held in February but dates vary.
Available generally speaking wherever postcards are sold. ie; supermarkets, bazaars etc.
To dial out to the UK or Ireland prefix the telephone number with 0034 or for Eire 00353
