Minty is correct. The most common cause of browning is lack of water over the winter months. It is recommended to heavily water your conifers in the fall, so they have adequate water to winter.
You will probably have to replant, so I have added a good website for you to read. There are pictures there, that show water starved trees.
Sorry I couldn't give you better news.

No idea wher Lanzarote is, but it is now home to a few dead trees. Evergreens are just that (except Tamarack) Needle drop,browning are signs of a terminal condition.Only the tree God can bring them back. You have good advice so far re H2o. A crucial question. Were they in burlap (with string or metal mesh). The burlap can stay (loosen it around trunk and plant with top of ball at existing grade) but string and wire MUST be removed. Many people think these will decompose, but they wont. Eventually, the tree will die.If they were in a plastic pot, when you pull them out to plant be sure to rough up the roots(they are trained to grow in a circle by the pot-you want to untrain them-feel free to make vertical cuts an inch deep into the root mass) Also, get some evergreen specific fert. spikes and drive them into ground per. manufac.s instructions.Also make sure the soil/hole drain well as evergeens like moisture but won't tolerate "wet feet". Good luck.

A fantastic product in the UK is Miracle Grow - one year my parents whet on holiday for three weeks during the summer and about four days before they were due back I realised the garden flowers and plants were looking a little sorry for themsleves. Miracle Grow worked - my Mum never suspected a thing and I've never owned up to nearly killing the garden!

Hi Karl The short answer is to dig them out as once they turn brown there's no point trying anything. If you replant with conifers keep them well watered until eastablished. Even then you will have to keep an eye on them as they are greedy for water. Don't wet the foliage or the sun will burn them. Cheers

Sorry but they will have died.They have not had enough water.Replant the dead ones and make sure someone can water them especially in the winter months when they are more prone to Windburn.You will be surprised how much water one windy day can evaporate off a plant.

Doesnt sound good for them I'm afraid. One tip though if re-planting. Never use fresh manure as this will 'burn' the plants. Try and get well rotted manure or use a little 'blood, fish and bone' instead.

Sorry it sounds like they've had it.
Once conifers go brown its too late,the only bits still alive are the green areas,but the tree would look a mess if you just kept these parts.
