According to holiday company Holidu, Lanzarote is one of the UK\u2019s favourite European islands. With its tropical climate and breathtaking beaches, it\u2019s not hard to see why.<\/p>\n
While Puerto del Carmen is the Spanish island\u2019s leading destination, there\u2019s another gorgeous town that British tourists won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n
Punta Mujeres sits on the northern coast of Lanzarote and is one of the prettiest towns in the Canary Islands.<\/p>\n
Punta Mujeres translates to “Women\u2019s Point” and the town was named after the women who used to wait on the point for their husbands to return from fishing trips.<\/p>\n
The town\u2019s main attraction are its unique seawater swimming pools with gorgeous views of the coast.<\/p>\n
