Lanzarote has been David Camerons holiday choice for the past 2 years but did you know the king of Spain has a residence in Costa Teguise. The house was originally the property of king Hussein of Jordan who gifted the house to King Juan Carlos in 1991 (who abdicated in June 2014 to his son now King Felipe) Strictly speaking the house does really now belong to the Patrimonial Nacional, however the royal family can make use of it at any time and it is still widely known as the king residence in Lanzarote. The last visit was back in the year 2000 when the whole family stayed for the New Year. During the stay unfortunately the Kings mother died at the grand age of 89 years old. If anyone important is staying in the villa there are normally armed police around the area.
