Earlier this year, We devoted Three weeks getting about the Canaries. A very remarkable journey, a lot of outing available, a lot of excellent beaches to discover, waking up in new dreamy spot daily. So superb, nevertheless this requires a lot of preparation and as well , planning! It is not all prepared for you. You choose your very own quest and then plan your private route! Fortunately the Canarian archipelago isn’t that big that people could be lost there instantly. My favourite among all was The island. It’s a pleasant small destination with amazing inhabitants. It has their own means of doing things as the rest of the islands have got. You are able to forget the world if you are on the island. The island is so distinctive far off and lonesome to live on. You'll have an incredible holiday there with all the water activities and then visits around the island. I wanted to share with you some things that I discovered along the route that can help with all the planning and just generally being a traveller. Some are simple, but when you feel like millions of miles away from home, you can’t find any wi-fi and you’ve got barely some cash with you, minor ideas will feel like lifesavers! On Lanzarote island the only thing you should have is going to be sunscreen to bear the scorching sunshine. The weather is generally sun-drenched then when it rains the life halts there. Residents stay at home shut the door and windows and waiting for the storm to leave.The island is a windy destination. You will earliest see it once your airplane gets ready for making a landing. The north of the area is usually more breezy than the south. If you can’t endure the fine sand inside your shoes and view make sure you get closer to the south. Puerto del carmen is a warm and inviting destination anytime of the year to have fun with bars and eateries to go out.
Playa blanca also is a wonderful location for most of the travelers featuring its spectacular landscape and slow paced life. It is the favourite spot for the familys and people seeking a more downtempoed holiday break. The island only and best jazz pub the Blue Note is likewise found here which tells a lot about the folks that visit here too.
Costa Teguise is the windiest all of them and wind surfers like that quite a lot. If you are not right into jazz or giant gatherings then this is certainly your place to be on a vacation. You will find resort hotels, flats, discos and eating places of any kind to pass your time after a painful day at the home pool.
In case you are more into pubs than trekking under the blazing sun then you might want some cash too. Places to stay usually are low cost so are the food and the drinks in the cafes. Most accommodations are offer meals that makes life much easier in case you are not into cooking your own food or seeking restaurants on a daily basis to have a regular dish. Keep in mind that most places would not approve credit card under a certain quantity so keeping money in The island of lanzarote can be life saver.

Playa Blanca - Lanzarote
Playa Blanca is the southernmost town of Lanzarote and the newest resort of the island.
Despite providing the only regular ferry to the next island, it has a very relaxed atmosphere. Giving home to five star hotels like Princesa Yaiza, Dream Gran Castillo and the glamorous villas all around the town help distinguish itself from a bit more active Costa Teguise and pulsing Puerto Del Carmen.
Located 45 km from the Airport it is a journey in itself to get here through the volcanic landscape. Taxi ride is the easiest solution but there are airport shuttle services to choose from, too. Public transport is also available just hop on the Bus: LÃnea 161, which takes you there through Puerto Del Carmen
There are four main beaches:
Playa Dorada
The golden beach is right next to the Papagayo shopping centre. Its manmade cove breaks the ocean's waves making it an ideal spot for swimming. Renting out pedalos is also somewhat popular but here you will find the must-have's for any beach holiday: the banana boats, kite-surfs and parascending.
Playa Blanca
The main beach of the town surrounded by bars and restaurants. It makes an ideal spot to get your tan if you like being around or rather in front of people who enjoy the picturesque view of the dunes of Fuertaventura.
Playa Flamingo
Being left out of the town centre it is a more tranquil beach but still equipped with some restaurants and shops. It is next to the Flamingo beach resort enclosed by a cove makes a lovely spot to enjoy the sun watching the azure waves. It is the closest sandy beach to Montaña Roja and the surrounding developments.
Papagayo
Located outside of the actual town it is a part of a natural reserve. It is accessible on foot on a dirt road from the east side of the town. Taking a car may be more convenient but count on a small toll that is collected at the entrance. Alternatively, there is a water taxi service from the harbour.
Playa Blanca Nightlife
There are some pubs and clubs in town where you are welcomed until the sun raises. Although if you really are into pouring champagne to everyone while dancing on the tables and singing 500 miles then you may take a closer look at Puerto Del Carmen's great selection of party places.
However, if you are into fine restaurants looking over the marina enjoying the view and talk to people close to you then you have found yourself a nice place to spend the night. Later you can pop into the island's best or rather only jazz bar with live performances and feel the rhythm shivering down on your back.
Marina Rubicon
If you like watching boats floating on water and listening to the wind rustling under the feathers of seagull's wings while sipping a coffee or something that gets you through the day then this place should not be missed. Additionally it gives a place to a shopping centre and a morning market every Wednesday and Saturday.
Shopping
Well, Lanzarote is not a shopping paradise and Playa Blanca is not the sweetest fruit in it. A trip to Biosfera in Puerto Del Carmen may be necessary if you feel let down by the shops of the Promenade or the posh Marina Rubicon. But hey you shouldn't expect much in a place where men wear flip-flops, shorts and T-shirts all year long and women change from sandals to boots because it is officially winter in the calendar.
