Location

Costa Tequise, Lanzarote

The sprint will take place outside under pavilion tents (for sunshine protection) in a villa with a pool.

Within a 5 minute walk you can reach:

one of the best beaches in Lanzarote, where you can swim, jog, snorkel, SUP, surf and windsurf,
a local supermarket that is open every day from 8AM to 10PM,
a pharmacy and a bakery,
5km long beachside promenade with free outside gyms,
a steakhouse, a burger joint and an authentic Spanish tapas tavern,
an assortment of other various cafes, pubs and bars, restaurants, etc.

Accommodation

Once you are registered for the sprint, we'll get everyone the location of the villa and local contacts to organize the booking of nearby villas that cost ~200 EUR per person per week.

If you are planning to come with your family and/or stay longer, @Nejc Zupan has written a remote worker's guide to Lanzarote.

Food

We'll organize catering (breakfast and lunch) during the sprint.

There are a ton of options for dinners in nearby restaurants.

Registration

Closed, as we have reached our limit. We hope in the future there will be more of these events!

Topics
