Lanzarote is one of the driest, most reliable winter-sun spots within a four-hour flight of the UK. Even in the depths of December and January the days stay in the low twenties, the sun is out for six to eight hours, and rain barely troubles the calendar, with a handful of wet days a month at most.

The volcanic landscape shrugs off the Atlantic weather that soaks mainland Europe, so while Britain is grey and frozen, Playa Blanca and Puerto del Carmen are still beach-and-lunch-outside warm. It is winter sun without the long-haul flight or the long-haul spending money.
