Lanzarote Holidays: The Hardest Race in the World
Located just 120 km off the West Coast of Africa is the beautiful and picturesque island of Lanzarote. Not only is Lanzarote home to some of the best sun, sea and sand in Spain and the Canary Islands, but it also hosts one of the most gruelling races in the world. The Ironman contest will take place on May 21, 2011 in Puerto del Carmen and is arguably the toughest test of strength and character anywhere in the world. Those on Lanzarote holidays need not worry though, as the race is only open to professionals, so you can stand back and watch from the sides, cheering the competitors on with a cocktail in your hand.
