Lanzarote was beset by heavy Storm Oliver rains at the weekend, which flooded roads and left some hotels without power. A state of emergency was declared after some areas experienced 6cm rainfall in just a few hours.
The main areas affected were on Lanzarote’s east coast, namely Costa Teguise, San Bartolome and Arrecife. The Foreign Office issued an alert at the weekend, and updated its travel advice for Spain again on Monday (14 April).
