With a decent sized Irish population here, and with Lanzarote being a huge tourism destination for Irish folk, we always have a big celebration on the island for St Patrick’s day.

Here’s the plan for this year:

17th March

Golf Tournament at Puerto del Carmen golf

Poker tournament at Puerto del Carmen Casino

The Celtic trail – music events all over Puerto del Carmen

18th March

1700 Hours – The St Patrick’s Day parade along The Strip at Puerto del Carmen

1730 St Patrick’s day concert in the old harbour in Puerto del Carmen

19th March

1000 Scuba dive to find the leprechaun

1500 Barbecue and fun day at Cooper’s restaurant, Matagorda
