Anyone who's been to Lanzarote will tell you it's the norm there; land from the sea (uphill) on 03 and depart towards the sea on 21; there are several extinct volcanoes to the north so pilots prefer to accept a slight tailwind especially if it's IMC.
If the ATIS gives arrival runway as 21 and crew request 03, the reply is 'at your discretion'.
