Trips to Puerto Del Carmen | Special Family.

The people from Tías are tied forever to a great and universal Portuguese writer, the brilliant José Saramago (Portugal 1922-Lanzarote 2010). Awarded the Nobel Prize in 1998 for his literary career, he chose this small town of the island of Lanzarote to take up exile due to a serious conflict with the Portuguese Goverment, after publishing his literary work El Evangelio según Jesucristo. Since then he got actively involved in Lanzarote’s day-to-day, where he died in 2010. His peculiar view of its customs and traditions is reflected in his Cuadernos de Lanzarote. Visit the house where he spent the last 18 years of his life and where he wrote his last books, nowadays transformed into the Museo Casa José Saramago which will allow you to get a closer view of the universe of this genius.

Even though Lanzarote's climate is mild all year round, if you want to hike or enjoy nature, its probably better to travel in winter. From May to October, you get perfect weather to enjoy the beautiful beaches.
