There Are Loads Of Places To Go To When Visiting Costa Teguise
There Are Plenty Of Places To See When Staying In Costa Teguise
Costa Teguise is located roughly centrally along the southern coast of Lanzarote, only around a 20 minute drive from the island’s capital and airport in Arrecife. The island’s traditional capital of Teguise is only about fifteen minutes’ drive and is quiet, except during its weekly Sunday market, when many bargains and traditional products are to be discovered.
Costa Teguise is not a traditional village, but is a well designed purpose built tourist resort. As such it is well laid out with shopping areas mingled around the various hotels and beaches. As with all of Lanzarote’s structures, there are no high rise building in sight and a large choice of various holiday accommodation.
Scuba diving is possible from the small choice of English speaking PADI and BSAC diving schools, but only really try dives are carried out as the local playa, Playa Jabillo, at only 15 feet depth is not sufficient for the majority of training. Most dive schools will run customers down to Puerto Del Carmen or for something totally different, along to Mala and the lava caves.
On the main beach there are wind surfing schools and a vast area of sandy beach with the usual amenities and a shopping centre behind it. Plenty of the hotels in the central area will have direct beach access. There is the only currently completed golf course on the island near to Costa Teguise.
Finding Costa Teguise villas to rent is commonplace and there are an excellent choice of villas to choose from.
When you are renting a villa in Lanzarote there are lots to see and do, as well as the beaches and Timanfaya National Park. The island is easy to get around whether in a hire car or in organized tours. Take your pick!
A favorite spot to visit, especially for my daughter, is the Cactus Garden, designed by local artist Cesar Manrique. There are a wide variety of cactus plants on show, well over 1000 species in fact, in this sunken garden that can be sheltered from the hottest of the elements. There is also a restored white windmill to visit within the gardens, which also has the site’s caf

A Excursion To Timanfaya Is Well Worth The Trip When Staying In Puerto Del Carmen
A Excursion To Timanfaya Is Well Worth The Trip When Visiting Puerto Del Carmen.
Puerto Del Carmen lies roughly centrally along the southern coast of Lanzarote, only around a 10 minute drive from the island’s capital and airport in Arrecife. Puerto Del Carmen was originally a small fishing village and the old harbor remains for visitors to explore and visit the many seafood restaurants. It now encompasses around four miles of beaches, including wide beach expanses and small coves.
There are many diving schools in Puerto Del Carmen for both the learner, the experienced and those wanting to further their diving log book. Both PADI and BSAC are generally recognized and English is spoken at many diving schools. Most schools utilize the same small bay from which shore entries and harbor entries are available on a range of dives, including a reef with Pink Coral. Motoring further out are the Los Erizos wrecks at a depth of around 60 feet. A collection of boats sunk to create a reef for divers to experience just outside of the harbor entrance.
If you fancy seeing the different types of sea-life on offer, but don’t want to get wet, there is always the yellow submarine tour, which also visits the wrecks. Keep an eye out for the divers watching the submarines go by? There are also cycle hire stores in the main shopping area and a new golf course under construction on the out skirts of the town.
With Lanzarote’s strict planning permission there are no high rise apartments in the resort. Finding villas to rent in Puerto Del Carmen is commonplace and there are an excellent choice of villas available.
If you are looking for places to visit when you have booked a villa in Lanzarote to help you escape from the beach, then going to Timanfaya Volcano Park is a must and could be top of your list if it is your first visit to the island.
You are taken up to the top of the mountain, or drive in a hire car, to the car park at the visitor centre. The journey through the park is an experience. It is described as being a lunar scene and that is truly the feeling that you do get as you watch fields of solidified volcanic lava that have been untouched since they were laid down. The area is now a protected park to help preserve this landscape.
When you arrive at the car park at the top of the visitor center there are plenty of uniformed guides to entertain you. They will demonstrate how a bucket of water emptied down into a bore hole erupts seconds later as steam, heated amazingly fast just by the heat of the rocks below the ground. Another favorite trick is to push some brushwood into the ground and then it is pulled out burning not long later. Again, this is just the heat of the ground.
The visitor centre also houses a fairly unusual restaurant There are no powered ovens. Instead the food is cooked from the heat given off from a hole in the ground. The demonstrations of the heat given off from the subterranean rocks are certainly varied!
There is also a guided coach tour from the visitor center that shows tourists a little more of the area and the rock formations. All of this makes Timanfaya, Fire Mountain, well worth a visit!
