Lanzarote faces another weekend packed with local fiestas, verbenas and concerts across the island. From 14 to 16 August, Arrecife, San Bartolomé and Tinajo host much of the festive activity, coinciding with the celebrations of San Ginés, the patron saint festivities of San Bartolomé and San Roque.
Rock, parrandas and the big verbenas will share the spotlight with names such as Las K-Narias and Toti Sanz and many of the island's dance bands and groups. These are some of the main options for the weekend.
