Buying a piece of wood on Lanzarote

Broken piece of chipboard on LanzaroteThe sawdust under my bed when we arrived at our flat on Lanzarote should have been a clue, as should have been my instinct that told me at night my head was sinking lower than my feet in bed.

In the end, however, it was not until I eventually decided to investigate further than I found out what was wrong. I had suspected my mattress had a problem, or a spring had gone. But it turned out that the piece of chipboard at one end of my bed had broken and now had a hole in it.

This led to the question “where do you buy a piece of wood on Lanzarote and have it cut to the right size?” [Read more…]

Lidleröffnung in Arrecife

April 5, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Letzten Monat wurde in Arrecife nach langer Wartezeit eine Lidl-Filiale eröffnet.

Die deutsche Supermarktkette eröffnet elf Filialen auf den kanarischen Inseln und anscheinend gab es lange Schlangen vor dem Laden, bei der Eröffnung am 11. März.

Generell sagen die Online Kommentare aus, dass die Eröffnung gut war für die Touristen und ebenso für die Einwohner, denn man profitiere von den niedrigeren Preisen, im Vergleich zu den kleineren Supermärkten in diesem Urlaubsgebiet.

Natürlich, die Touristen die in Selbstversorger-Appartments wohnen und keinen Mietwagen haben, können nicht direkt davon profitieren, deshalb ist es besonders wichtig, dass die anderen Supermärkte nicht darunter leiden.

Lidl befindet sich im Osten von Arrecife in Calle Océano Atlántico.

Was denken Sie? Waren Sie schon einmal in Arrecife in Lidl?

Lidl opens in Arrecife

April 3, 2010 By 3 Comments

Last month Lidl finally opened in Arrecife.

The German supermarket chain is opening 11 stores in the Canary Islands, and apparently there were long queues to enter the store when it opened on 11th March.

Comments online have talked generally about the opening being good for tourists and locals alike, who will benefit from lower prices compared to those found in the smaller supermarkets in the resorts.

Of course, those tourists who stay in self-catering apartments but do not have the use of a hire car will not be able to benefit directly, so it is vital for them that the other supermarkets do not suffer.

Lidl is located on the Eastern side of Arrecife in Calle Océano Atlántico.

What do you think?  Have you been to Lidl in Arrecife yet?
