On Friday evening there is a small edition of the market of Teguise.

History

The Costa Teguise tourist center, about ten kilometers northeast of the island’s capital, Arrecife, was acquired by the Spanish industrial company Unión Explosivos Riotinto at the end of the 1960s. Then, the building of the new town began from the beginning of the 1970s to bring tourism in the municipality of Teguise.

César Manrique, the well-known lanzarote architect and environmentalist, was instrumental in the planning and execution, as well as in the garden and swimming pool facilities of the island’s first five-star hotel, Melia Salinas. The houses of the new holiday resort were built in lanzarotenian, white style with green or brown windows. The number of floors was limited to a maximum of two storeys. In some places the image has changed today by the construction of slightly higher, 3 and 4-star hotels.

Important

From Costa Teguise there is especially to Arrecife and to Puerto del Carmen (during the day every twenty minutes) as well as to Teguise and also to Caleta de Famara (several times daily) a very good public bus connections.
