To make Easter a little more fun you can go to Macey's, a British supermarket in Tias to buy your Easter favourites like chocolate eggs, chicks and bunnies. You can keep kids busy with some Easter craft gifts like eggs to paint, egg stencil and paint sets, Easter chicks in a basket and Easter bags & cards. The supermarket also has special "ready to eat meals" in their frozen section and cheese and fresh cream flown all the way from the UK.

Whatever you do, it is a great time to meet locals too by joining them for an Easter service in the morning. Also don't let the Easter eggs melt since there will be a sunny weather this weekend, so rub in some sun screen and then laze around a beach !!!!! After all that is what you're in Lanzarote for !!!!!
