If you want a recommendation, you can’t get better than the top man, Spain’s President Zapatero has just returned to Madrid after a relaxing family holiday in Lanzarote, and he is keen to spread the word and encourage other visitors.

The President is a frequent visitor to Lanzarote, staying in his official residence, La Moreta in Costa Teguise, this year he took time out to record a personal endorsement for a Lanzarote tourist board video. Looking relaxed and chilled out in a casual shirt with top buttons undone, he said “Lanzarote is all about nature,life, rest and the friendliness of the people.”

 As if that wasn’t enough to show his pleasure at being in Costa Teguise, he added “Of course anyone who can come, should come to Lanzarote.” The President, like most visitors, has been enchanted by the rugged beauty and serenity of this family friendly island with so much sun and beaches to offer.
