For the last few years my wife and I have wondered what a winter week in this sports resort on the Canary Island of Lanzarote would be like. Would it be Pontins with push-ups? Hi-de-hi for the fit families of Europe? Or would it be a great way to train in relatively warm weather while home in Scotland turned grey, cold and soggy?
In 2014 Club la Santa opened a new village of apartments, set aside from the main and close to the new aquatic centre. So we took the plunge. To share the cost of one of the new two-bedroom apartments at a low-season time, we travelled with two friends and booked a week just before Christmas.
