Puerto Del Carmen Mini Guide

Puerto de la Carmen is on the east coast of Lanzarote only ten miles from Arrecife Airport.  It is the principal and busiest resort on the Island.  The working harbour remains from the days when the town was a small fishing village.  There are no high rise buildings in this resort.   It offers a fantastic variety of day and night time activities suitable for all ages.

The resort has grown over the last decade and now stretches alongside 6 km of golden sandy beaches.  All of the beaches fly the Blue Flag which has been awarded by the EEC for cleanliness and lack of contamination.  The main beach, Playa la Grande, is the largest on the island and faces a long strip where a variety of restaurants, shops and bars can be found.  The sea here is very calm and excellent for swimming and other water sports.  Diving schools and windsurfing centres are based in the resort.  Fishing trips are also available.  Bike hire shops are situated along the main beach promenade.

The upmarket Biosfera shopping complex is well worth a visit and luxury designer clothes and shoes can be purchased there.   The Sunday market at the old capital Teguise is also a popular haunt. The Avenida de las Playas has well over 100 restaurants offering Canarian and international cuisine. This Avenida and Centro Atlantico are the main areas for night life and live music venues.  Lanzarote has a fantastic lunar landscape and excursions are available to other parts of the island.
