Órzola is the northernmost village on the island. Down to the volcanic rocks it is used by locals as a destination during the weekend. The arm of the sea between Lanzarote and La Graciosa, called El Río, is considered to be an area with the highest fish population.

The life and hustle and bustle in the small fishing village of Orzola is characterised by the ferry service to the small neighboring island of La Graciosa. There are 2 ships from different companies departing daily at the small port. Between 8 am and 8 pm you can go back and forth between Orzola and La Graciosa every half hour.

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.

El Golfo, Lanzarote

El Golfo is situated in southwest of Lanzarote. This small fishing village is known for its tasty fish specialities and the natura attraction “lago verde“. Fish is caught, gutted and cleaned right in front of your eyes, very much to the joy of the sea gulls who happily treat themselves to the leftovers. There is a small footpath at the end of the village, which leads across lava rock all along the cliffs. Sturdy footwear is absolutely necessary here.
However, the absolute highlight is the magnificent sun set. Accompanied by a glass of delicious wine from Lanzarote, it lets you just simply forget everything.

Specials

“Los Hervideros”, “Lago Verde” or “La Lagna de los Clicos” in El Golfo are one of the most beautiful places of the island, without any doubt one of the Must See of Lanzarote.

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.

Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote

Until the 1960s, Puerto del Carmen was a small fishing village in the southeast, which only had a few houses on today’s port area. In the direction of the airport there was a salt plant and otherwise only free area where it was difficult to grow fruit or vegetables. What the famous Playa Grande looked like in the 1960s can be seen very impressively here. Harbour in Puerto del Carmen Today Puerto del Carmen is the largest and most important tourist centre on the island of Lanzarote, with over 960,000 tourists a year (as of 2017, source tourismodeislascanarias.com). If you want the beach and nightlife as close to your door as possible, you should choose a holiday home in Puerto del Carmen. On a length of approx. 6 km you will surely find the suitable beach, in the evening the right restaurant and at night the best disco or bar. The largest beaches are Playa Grande, Playa de Los Pocillos and adjacent to the airport is Playa de Matagorda. There are various sports facilities, such as windsurfing, diving, sailing, deep sea fishing, boat trips and much more. Near the harbour is the beach Playa Chica, especially suitable for children, with diving school and boat trips next door. Slightly hidden, opposite the La Penita area, between Playa Grande and Playa de Los Pocillos, there are some other bathing opportunities that are not so easy to discover from the road and which are best explored on foot from Avenida de las Playas. On the Avenida de las Playas, one restaurant practically alternates with Centros Comerciales – Shopping Centers. In between you will find boutiques, supermarkets, amusement arcades, car rentals and of course also various souvenir and often rather junk shops. The Sunday market in Teguise or Saturdays in Haria are much better places to buy souvenirs. Above the Avenida, near the port, there is one of the largest and most modern shopping centres in Lanzarote, the “Biosfera-Plaza”, with free underground parking. At Zara, Mango, Bershka, Foot Looker etc. you can shop here to your heart’s content or visit the open air cinema with English and Spanish movies. . You can satisfy hunger and thirst in numerous restaurants with great views of the hustle and bustle and the sea. The port of Puerto del Carmen, also known as La Tiñosa from former times, is 5 minutes’ walk from Biosfera to the south. Here you will find fishing boats and excursion boats, numerous authentic fish restaurants and, especially at the weekend at late hours, lively bars invite you to linger. The restaurant Casa Roja, which was built in 1850 and served as a harbour camp until the 1950s, is particularly outstanding. From the port, a footpath leads along the cliffs of Puerto del Carmen towards Barranco del Quiquere and on to Puerto Calero, the nearest town further south with its marina.

Specials

The Ironman Lanzarote takes place in Puerto del Carmen in May every year. A must see event if you are on the island during the second half of May.

Playa de Papagayo Beach in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote

 

Some of the most famous beaches on Lanzarote are the Papagayo Beaches which are located east of Playa Blanca.

From the eastern end of Playa Blanca, you can walk to the 400 m long Playa de Las Mujeres beach with golden yellow sand.

Another footpath over the cliffs, leads you to the approx. 300 m long Playa del Pozo.

From there in south-east direction, you go across the cliffs, to the famous 200-meter-long Playa de Papagayo, where the El Chiringuito bar is waiting for you with refreshments and various meals above the beach.

Another 300 meters long walk, in east direction over the mountain, takes you to the 400 m long Caleta del Congrio beach, which is also visited by many naturist fans.

Further north-east, there is the Playa de Puerto Muelas beach.

Because of usually low waves, all of the Papagayo beaches are also very suitable for families with children.

The Papagayo beaches can be reached by car over a 5 km long unspoilt, toll-free way (€ 3.- / vehicle) which branches off just after the sewage treatment plant of Playa Blanca.

Keep in mind that there are no shopping facilities, as well as restaurants or bars, or first aid stations, apart from above Playa de Papagayo, which is why you should bring enough drinking water.

Important

Bring enough drinking water with you.
