Brand New Lanzarote Business and Residents Association Website Launched

We are very proud to announce the launch of our brand new website which has been in development for several months. Late last year we made the decision to retire our old website as after many years of faithful service it definitely deserved a break. 

While our new site has been in development we launched this blog back in November. This is where we have been posting all our news articles and then sharing them to our Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus profiles. It is time to wish this blog a fond farewell though, as our blog posts are now integrated directly into the new site which we hope you'll agree works really well!



As the old website was starting to look very dated, we made the decision of starting again from scratch in order to make the new website really look totally different. We didn't want to take a half measure and just tweak the old site, it was time for a totally fresh and modern site. Since our last website was launched the Internet has changed immeasurably, and web users expect websites that reflect the speed and ease that they are now used to. 

A big part of this change has occurred due to mobile Internet, as now people can browse sites from almost anywhere they go on their mobile phone. Websites need to be built with mobile users in mind as this is where an increasing amount of web traffic comes from. 


Our new website is smooth, simple to navigate and designed to showcase the best of Lanzarote via the different sections that have been included. Various tabs have been included at the top of the website for simple access to different sections that we feel are most important to our users. 

We have our blog which will be updated to include all of the posts from this blog and all new posts:



There is a tab in which you can access all of the videos we have added to our YouTube channel: 


The about section gives all the information you need about the LBRA such as our history, aims and values:



From the directory tab you will find links to all of the great businesses that are members of the LBRA:


 Last but not least on the far top right hand corner there is a tab that will take you to a page with all the information you need for joining the LBRA:


Our new site is designed with social media in mind with our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds directly integrated into the website. There are also links to our social media channels along the bottom of the page and the ability to share our blog posts and other sections of the site to any social media channel of your choice. Along the bottom of the site you will also find links to job listings, as we aim to be useful as well as informative.

We really hope that you like the new site as much as we do, and if you like it please let us know via our social media channels as we would love to here what you think! Our new site can be found here: http://lanzarotebusinessassociation.com/

The site was designed by Ashley Pearson, who is a IT Executive and Google Rising Star with many years experience of web design. You can find out more about Ashley via his LinkedIn profile including information on how to contact him if you would like a website developed.

The Lanzarote Business and Residents Association turns 8 today!

We are absolutely delighted to announce that the Lanzarote Business and Residents Association turns eight today! Since the association was founded we feel we have made a real difference in improving the situation for foreign residents living in Lanzarote, and visitors to the island. We also feel very confident about this year, and future developments for the LBRA!



Our membership continues to grow, and there is a real buzz now in the team about being able to offer even more services to our members and the general public here on the island. We are extremely happy with the continued support we have received from the Ayuntamientos and Cabildo of Lanzarote, who appreciate the benefit we bring to the island. By supporting our efforts here on the island, they are helping to ensure the future harmony between local residents and foreign residents who now call Lanzarote their home. In turn this will lead to the continuing development and success of businesses around the island, and long term economic growth. 


 It is great that the vision of the founder of the LBRA, Daniel Trigg, to create an organisation to help foreign nationals residing in Lanzarote, continues to go from strength to strength all these years later. We couldn't have achieved this success without our members though, and Daniel and the team would like to offer our many thanks to all our members and everyone who has supported us over the years. 

 We have many exciting projects in development including a brand new, modern and interactive website, new initiatives in collaboration with the local councils, and of course more informative and entertaining videos, social media, and blog posts. We are looking forward to a great future with all of you, with much anticipation for a successful year ahead!

Leave a comment below with any questions you have about the LBRA that we could answer in future videos or blog posts, or via our social media accounts:

Discover the Best of Lanzarote with this List of Useful Websites

Despite its relatively small size and low population, Lanzarote is an island rich in culture, events and tourist attractions. If you are here on holiday for a week you will almost certainly not be able to see everything that Lanzarote has to offer, and will need a second or third trip back. In fact many people love the island so much as a destination that they come back here year after year! Even if you live here there are different events at least once a week or more. These can be regular attractions like the biggest market in Lanzarote, every Sunday in Teguise, or events that only happen once a year. 

Teguise Market every Sunday
 Some of these are major annual events which attract people from all over the world such as the Lanzarote International Marathon, taking place this Saturday, or the Lanzarote IronMan which happens every summer. Lanzarote is becoming known more and more on the global stage as an excellent sporting destination due to its amazing year round climate. Other sporting events that attract international competitors include the ISA World Masters Surfing Championship (WMSC), and
PWA World Championship Wind Surfing Competition in Costa Teguise. 

I Love Graciosa Catamaran Excursion
 Of course Lanzarote is not just renowned for sport, there are activities and events for everyone, whatever age you are and catering for a range of different interests. This includes markets across the island on everyday of the week, many different fiestas throughout the year, music concerts with lots of musical variety from rock, to pop, to dance music and some excellent clasical music concerts held in the Jameos del Agua tourist attraction! One of the biggest music events on the island is called 'Arrecife en Vivo" in which over a series of four days (two in September and two in October), bands from all over the Canary Islands and beyond come and play live in Arrecife. This is a really popular and free annual event!

Just over a week ago there was a huge food tasting event called Saborea Lanzarote held over a weekend in Teguise which attracted 1000s of tourists and residents. The event gave the opportunity to taste lots of different tapas and drinks from restaurants, cafes and food producers from all over Lanzarote. Another great event that combines sport and food and drink is called 'The Wine Run' and this takes part every year in Lanzarote in June.

Discover Lanzarote by Bike!
 How can you find out about these events though? With so many different events and things to see and do, it can be easy to miss some of them. Here at Lanzarote Business and Residents Association we like to help out residents and tourists alike in discovering all that the island has to offer. We have compiled a list of different websites so you can keep on top of what is happening at different times of the year here.
