things to do & see
Capital Arrecife : If you want to catch a more modern and metropolitan side of Lanzarote then visit Arrecife, the islands capital. Here you will find a lively port city, shaped both by its seafaring past and its current, rapid regeneration.
Costa Teguise : One of the longest established resorts, where there are many things to do, from lazing on the beach to a round of Golf or revitalising your senses with a blast on a windsurfer.
Puerto Calero : A very new resort — much smaller — and definitely more upmarket.
Puerto del Carmen :
The oldest resort on the island and still a firm favourite with many people.
Built around the old harbour it has extended along six kilometres of golden, sandy beaches.
Haria : Widely known as the valley of 1,000 palms, with lots to offer the visitor who wants to see a real slice of Lanzarote.
La Villa de Teguise : Largely ignored by tourists — other than for the Sunday Market — it remains a great place to visit in the week, as it has some excellent architecture and remains relatively quiet.
Yaiza :
Voted the Prettiest village in Spain on more than one occasion, is a quiet and tranquil place to explore.
Caleta de Famara : Small fishing village which is highly popular with local and international surfers.
Playa Quemada : This very small village, where the houses spill right onto the black, volcanic beach.
