    Eco Insider Lanzarote

    Thanks. I had previously (many months ago) been in touch with Carmen and it was she who told me that they were no longer operating. They must have decided to give it another go. I am not heading back there again this year but maybe in 2025 so if you could update us on the success of the trip...
