Costa Teguise

A Bumper Beach Guide to Costa Teguise

The idyllic climate, beautiful landscape and island charm of Lanzarote has long made it a popular spot for the British looking for a bit of sand, sea and sun. But thanks to local hero, conservationist and architect César Manrique, the island was saved from much of the over-development that went on in many of Spain’s most picturesque holiday destinations.

Costa Teguise, Lanzarote

Lanzarote Shore Excursions

Although Lanzarote is the 4th largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, it is only 60km long and 20km wide allowing cruise ship passengers enough time to visit most of the island during a day in port. Best known as a year round package holiday destination thanks to its sub-tropical climate Lanzarote exhibits a unique ‘lunar landscape’ created by volcanic eruptions in the 18th and 19th centuries. Features resulting from such seismic activity are the island’s main tourist sights together with more recent artistic attractions created by local artist César Manrique.   Port of Lanzarote Cruise ships visiting Lanzarote arrive at Arrecife

Playa Blanca

Sun and Sophistication in Playa Blanca

With summer on the horizon, now is a great time to start planning your first summer sun holiday as there is no better way to embrace the best season by jetting off to somewhere glamorous. If you are anything like me, then you will want to find a new destination that is somewhat of a hidden gem – this always ensures for the best adventures and will create plenty of great stories to make your friends envious upon your return.

If this sounds like your kind of break, then I highly recommend Playa Blanca – the most southerly resort on the fantastic island of Lanzarote. This is the fastest growing resort on the island and a tremendous amount of building work has been completed in recent times. It is now a peaceful, upmarket and beautiful area with plenty of opportunities for sun worshipping, shopping, celebrity spotting and indulging in a superb food and drink scene once the sun goes down. Perfect.
