Holiday Villas in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote: Great choice in a Great Resort
Posted by Miles Couchman | Filed under Travel
Puerto del Carmen has been an established tourist resort on Lanzarote for over 40 years. It is situated only about 10 minutes’ drive from the airport, and remains as popular as ever with holidaymakers to Lanzarote. As with many resorts across Europe, the start of its popularity amongst UK and Irish tourists dates back to the early’60’s - when packaged holidays abroad started to replace the UK seaside holiday. Prior to the’60’s, Puerto del Carmen was a small fishing village, a feel that is retained if you venture into the “Old Town” which still has much of this original charm.
The newer parts of Puerto del Carmen boast a multitude of bars, restaurants, hotels villas and apartments for visitors to choose from. There are also quite a few late night bars and nightclubs in Puerto del Carmen. Some of these stay open until breakfast time, and they are centred on the Avenida de las Playas (also known as “the strip”) that starts from Fariones at one end, and extends some 6 kilometres to Matagorda at the other end. Most of the nightlife is at the Fariones end, but there is a good choice of restaurants and bars everywhere you go in Puerto del Carmen.
There are great attractions around Puerto del Carmen as well, including the relatively new marina at Puerto Calero - fast becoming a haven for well-heeled yachting enthusiasts. There is also a new golf course between Puerto del Carmen and Tias, water park at nearby Costa Teguise, and Rancho Texas, a wild west theme park. The other advantage of Puerto del Carmen is that it is quite central on the island, and you can reach other parts very easily.
