New Year in Lanzarote

Mark Gibson on 19 May 2019
My wife and I travelled to Playa Blanca in Lanzarote with some friends for a birthday celebration over Xmas/New Year.

Playa Blanca is located in the South of the Island and you can see Fuerteventura in the distance. The town has a 5km promenade which runs from the Marina Rubicon at one end to the lighthouse at the other and has a number of white sand beaches along it including Flamingo Beach and Dorado Beach which are wide and safe to swim. Playa Blanca is picturesque and there are no high buildings. There is a huge choice of restaurants and cuisine and the quality of all the restaurants we ate in was excellent.

We went on a 30 minute boat trip from the harbour along the coast to Papagayo beach with it turquoise waters and unspoilt natural bay this is a beautiful spot and the one building a restaurant which overlooks the bay is a great place for a drink and lunch and enjoy the view across the sea.

I would recommend Lanzarote and Playa Blanca for a holiday as its climate means it’s an all-year-round destination pleasantly warm, even in the depths of winter and it’s really convenient to get to for a relaxing holiday to unwind and enjoy.
