Lanzarote - Zapatero Visit

It was recently reported by Island Connections that the Lanzarote Tourist Board persuaded Spain's prime minister - Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero - to go public with his praise for the island of Lanzarote.   He recorded an 18-second video clip which has been posted on the Tourist Board's office site and has also featured in news headlines across Spain.

The clip is set in palm tree surroundings and Zapatero says that Lanzarote has everything, and encourages people to spend their holidays there. 

However, the video has already triggered protests from other holiday regions in Spain, including Valencia, who have accused the prime minister of being niave and has commented that he should ensure that he remains neutral with his comments on where people should spend their holidays.

Take a look at Lanzarote to see if you would like to spend your next holiday there.
