Playa Blanca, Lanzarote

Via the LZ 701 you reach Playa Blanca, the most southern town of Lanzarote.

This former fishing village has become a regular tourism centre especially for English tourists.

The “Marina Rubicón” port is a good starting point for an excursion because it has a wealth of free and easily accessible parking spaces.

Take a look at the marvellous yachts that have docked in the harbour and enjoy the touch of luxury that is in the air and in the surroundings of Marina Rubicón with its sporting and culinary offerings.

The beach promenade takes you directly to the tourist centre of Playa Blanca passing through hotels of the upscale category that line the path. One or the other park bench invites you to linger.

The artificial sand beach Playa Dorada is ideal for a short break and a jump into the cool water and offers with a multitude of free play devices also enough space for the little ones.

Harbour Playa Blanca 5

In Playa Blanca itself you will find a big variety of international restaurants and shopping possibilities.

At the old port are only a few small fishing boats to be found. Instead, large ferries navigating to Fuerteventura or the Playas de Papagayo now dominate the image of the port.

Especially if you want to see Lanzarote apart from your holiday apartment and the adjacent beach of Playa Blanca, you should rent a car.

You can find a holiday accommodation in Playa Blanca right here.

Beaches

Within Playa Blanca, close to larger hotels and apartment complexes, there are the two sandy beaches Playa Dorada and Playa Flamingo, particularly suitable for families.

You can reach the famous Papagayo beaches by bike or by an extensive walk from the town centre about 7 km to the north-east or via a convenient toll road by car (€ 3,- / car).

Excursions

In order to visit the places, beaches and sights to the north of Playa Blanca, you should rent a car anyway, at least a few days. We can gladly arrange for you from particularly reliable and nevertheless cheap car hire companies.

In only approx. 15 – 30 minutes driving time or within approx. 12 – 25km you reach the salt works of Janubio and the black beach with the same name. Via Los Hervideros you get to the fishing village El Golfo with the green lagoon and some good fish restaurants. Romantic sunsets by the sea are included. More targets are the beautiful village of Yaiza, where the municipal administration of Playa Blanca is situated, the famous fire mountains or a wine tasting in the nearby La Geria wine-growing area.

In order to enjoy the beaches of Puerto del Carmen, Arrecife or the former capiatal Teguise or in the north of the island, in the valley of the 1000 palm trees, Haría, and other places of interest, you should at least count half a day or even better several day trips. The car hire offers you a map showing the most important sights you should not miss on your Lanzarote holiday.

From Playa Blanca you can also reach mostly well-visible neighbouring island Fuerteventura. You get there by ferry (Lineas ARMAS or Fred Olsen line) in about 25 – 35 minutes. The ferries leave daily several times from the signposted port of Playa Blanca.

Arrecife, Lanzarote

Arrecife has been the political and economic capital of Lanzarote since 1852. Around half of the entire population (approx. 60,000) lives here. There is now a beautiful promenade along the beach, passing the Grand Hotel and continuing quite a bit further. A market takes place at the far end of the promenade every Wednesday.

Walking along the promenade, you will pass the “Castillo San Gabriel” which accommodates the Archaeological Museum of Lanzarote. The castle’s draw bridge “Puente de las Bolas” is one of Arrecife’s landmarks. Continuing along the promenade, you will then reach “Charco San Ginés” – a small lagoon at the sea which is very popular for an afternoon or evening out for drinking and eating very good. The are is very visited during the weekend evenings. Don’t leave Lanzarote without having visited one of the great spots and having enjoyed the idyllic views.

The Castillo de San José is situated a little further away. César Manrique converted the castle into the Museum for Contemporary Art in 1974. There is restaurant in the basement where you can enjoy some of the finest culinary specialities. The restaurant was designed by Manrique and offers a beautiful view to the harbour. “Puerto de los Mármoles” – the harbour of Arrecife handles most of the island’s cargo. Many ships leave from here to the other Canary Islands and the Spanish mainland, and numerous cruise ships arrive here as well. In fact Lanzarote is the only island which is included in any of the many cruising tours throughout the canary islands. The new Marina was built to receive the cruising tourists nearer to the city center.

The pedestrian area in the Calle León y Castillo invites to an extensive shopping spree. For a break you can pop into one of the many inviting small cafes and tapas bars. Lanzarote’s highest building – the “Grand Hotel” – was built in the 70’s but closed for economic reasons in 1991 and was completely gutted by a fire in 1994. It reopened in its present form in 2004. Visiting the bar on the top floor of the hotel is worthwhile for the beautiful view alone. Just walk in and take the elevator to the top floor. The pool bar of the five star Hotel offers concerts regularly at a reasonable price.

Important

It is not easy to park in Arrecife. So we recommend to go to one of the big parking spaces and do the rest by walking.

  • Parking Grand Hotel
  • Parking Spinola Bulevard
  • Parking Spinola Hiperdino / Cinema
  • Parking Fajardo

The only one open 24h is Grand Hotel.
