sooner this poor man might still be alive," said one of the men who attempted to save him performing CPR for 45 minutes until police and then an ambulance arrived He emphasized the importance of everyone learning CPR and having defibrillators readily accessible for public use Patricia has launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for distributing defibrillators to more areas of Lanzarote particularly targeting places that cannot afford them "I am raising funds to supply defibrillators and training in CPR and defibrillator use for bars and restaurants in the island's tourist areas," she explained Her focus is on tourist areas due to their high foot traffic compared to other parts of the island has the highest availability of defibrillators she has seen on the island are aimed at workers in the hospitality sector while each defibrillator costs approximately €1,800 the campaign has received over 160 donations raising more than €4,500 towards a target of €5,500 many lives of residents and tourists have been lost on the island due to the lack of access to defibrillators and the knowledge of how to use them," she concluded The Three Kings have already arrived on

tradition Every belén will feature the basic elements of Mary three shepherds and three wise men making their way towards the manger (baby Jesus is often absent until Christmas Day) Lanzarote’s belenes always celebrate the island they are created on scale models of real buildings on the island It’s an acknowledgement that Christmas has come to the island and that the Holy family are not just in Bethlehem This Catalan tradition is a figure of young man squatting down to do a poo which is hidden somewhere in the nativity scene we travelled all over the island to look at the belenes in various towns and discovered that some are definitely worth waiting until sunset to visit Here are our suggestions for two Christmas driving tours that will guarantee the best experience PUNTA MUJERES – One of the strangest festive displays on the island Punta Mujeres’ Belén features large dolls located in a field by the roadside HARÍA – Haría’s lovely nativity scene reflects the cliffs TEGUISE – Teguise’s Belén is a little staid compared to others but modellers will appreciate the immense detail of the scaled-down buildings and the old town itself is even more magical at Christmastime Arrecife’s nativity scene raised the bar for all displays on the island – a huge astonishingly detailed diorama of the whole island in a marquee on the seafront It was accompanied by a Christmas market and the whole experience is sure to put you in a festive mood and the large belén in front of Tías’s San Antonio church is always worth seeing SAN BARTOLOMÉ – San Bartolomé explodes into light at Christmas with an immense Christmas tree and rows of palm trees dressed in fairy lights In the heart of the Parque Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente you’ll find its lovely belén TINAJO – Tinajo’s Christmas show is unmissable and we’d advise approaching from Tiagua to get the full effect of its incredible light show featuring real animals and life size models YAIZA – Yaiza’s display is the island’s most famous – a stunning scale model of the island of Lanzarote It’s the imagination and creativity that makes it stand out a genuinely moving and wondrous vision of this fiery little island Crime in general increased on Lanzarote last year although figures remained below the level in 2019 over half of which fell under the category “Other criminal offences” which does not include more serious crimes burglaries and robberies with violence fell slightly on the island while considerable rises were seen in rape While Arrecife saw the largest amount of crimes reflecting its higher population; Tías saw the highest rise in overall crime perhaps reflecting the return of tourism to the island’s most important resort area.  There were three homicides on the islands last year – two stabbings in Arrecife and a tragic case in which an elderly woman in Tinajo attempted a double suicide with her sick husband For regular updates, pictures and videos of Lanzarote be sure to like and
