We’re heading into the last week of the carnival season in Lanzarote which will be celebrated in Playa Blanca & La Graciosa.
La Graciosa is the quaint island off the north coast of Lanzarote, which is accessed by the ferry service from Órzola. Despite only having a few hundred residents, the island will be celebrating carnival in style with a full programme including 3 processions, 2 parties and a gala evening before the burial of the sardine to mark the end of the carnival.
