When professional athletes need somewhere to put them through their paces, Lanzarote leaps to the front of the queue. Emma-Kate Lidbury is a professional triathlete and journalist, so she knows what she is writing about. Just returning to the UK after a gruelling training week, Emma is singing the praises of the tough volcanic roads of Lanzarote.
Starting out as a very competitive swimmer, Kate was also able to appreciate the miles of unspoilt coast and swimmer friendly seas. Don’t just take our word for it, have a look at Emma’s blog.

If you are looking for sporting diversity, Lanzarote is the place to be, and that has been officially recognised by the members of the Spanish sporting press.
From 22 to 24 March 2010, Lanzarote will host the prestigious annual AED conference, that’s when the Associacion Español de Prensa Deportivo gather to review the past year. The latest event will see the unique setting of Los Jameos del Agua stage the big meetings, this series of underground volcanic caves has a large auditorium designed by Cesar Manrique, the founding father and designer of modern Lanzarote.
While the best of the press corps come together in Lanzarote they are sure to enjoy the vast range of sports that they can indulge in, with a perfect climate as a backdrop.
