DISCOVER LANZAROTE STAYING IN THE HEART OF PUERTO DEL CARMEN
The complex is very quiet and is located in a sought after area in the town of Puerto del Carmen, just a few minutes walk from the harbour and nearby beaches. The area also has a supermarket which is only a 3 minute walk away. The presence of a typical Canarian restaurant stands out at the entrance of the complex, and offers dishes of all kinds all day long at favourable prices. However, for a variety of meals, the port has several restaurants and bars.
For me, a rental car is the best way to explore the island. There are many beautiful places of cultural interest, such as the Cesar Manrique Foundation, Jameos del Agua and Timanfaya National Park, or of course the beautiful Papagayo Beaches in the south. As the distances are not very long, you can plan all the destinations in day trips and take your time with the sightseeing.
Of course, there are also several companies that organise bus trips to all the tourist attractions, but usually in large groups and with less flexibility in terms of time and place of stay.
Something special for ocean lovers is a dolphin or whale watching excursion with Sea Safaris Lanzarote (www.seasafarislanzarote.com). The excursions take place with a modern motor catamaran in accordance with animal welfare regulations and meet all the standards required for the "Blue Flag" award. They take place in small groups, so early booking is required.
