There Are Loads Of Tourist Spots When Visiting Costa Teguise

There Are Loads Of Places To Go To When Holidaying In Costa Teguise

Costa Teguise is roughly centrally along the southern coast of Lanzarote, only around a twenty minute trip from the island’s airport in Arrecife. The island’s traditional capital of Teguise is only about 10 to 15 minutes’ drive and is quiet, except during its weekly Sunday market, when many bargains and traditional products are to be discovered.

Costa Teguise did not start life as 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 beaches and hotels. As with all of Lanzarote’s buildings, there are no high rise building in sight and a large choice of hotels, villas and apartments.

Diving is possible from the couple of English speaking BSAC and PADI diving schools, but only really experience scuba dives are carried out as the local playa, Playa Jabillo, at only 5 metres deep is not sufficient for the majority of training. Most dive schools will run divers along to Puerto Del Carmen or for an almost totally unique experience, along to Mala and the lava caves.

You can go down to the main beach to visit the wind surfing schools and a vast area of sandy beach with the usual amenities and a shopping centre behind it. Some of the hotels in the central area also have direct beach access. There is the only currently completed golf course on the island near to Costa Teguise.

Finding a villa in Costa Teguise is commonplace and there are an excellent choice of villas to choose from.

When you are renting a Lanzarote apartment there are lots to see and do, as well as the beaches and Timanfaya National Park. The island is easy to explore whether in a hire car or in organized tours. Take your pick!

A favorite location to visit, especially for my little girl, is the Cactus Garden, created 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 houses the site’s café for a welcome refreshment or snack.

Also worth a quick visit is El Golfo, a semi-circular volcanic crater. The crater has been half washed away by the sea, hence not being fully visible, and filled with sea water that has filtered through the black sand that keeps the sea from the crater. The water in the crater has formed a green lagoon, which is the result of the algae growing in the water and it contrasts spectacularly with the surrounding black sand.

Another popular spot, and the destination of many coach tours, is the Cave of Los Verdes. These are a complex of underground caves that were created in the lava some 3,000 years ago and served as shelter to the early population when the pirates of old came sacking. They are well worth a visit, even if only to find out what the secret is of Lanzarote. You only get to view it by visiting the cave and I’m not about to tell you now!

A Trip To Fire Mountain Is Well Worth The Trip When Holidaying In Puerto Del Carmen

A Visit To Timanfaya Is Well Worth The Trip When Holidaying In 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 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 4 miles of beaches, including wide beach expanses and small coves.

There are many sub aqua schools in Puerto Del Carmen for both the learner, the experienced and those wanting to further their diving experience. Both PADI and BSAC are generally covered and English is spoken at many diving schools. Most schools dive in 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 about 20m. A collection of boats sunk to create a reef for divers to use 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. Watch out for the divers watching the submarines go by… There are also cycle hire stores in the main shops 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 buildings in the resort. Finding a villa to rent in Puerto Del Carmen is commonplace and there are an excellent choice of villas available.

If you are looking for places to see when you have booked a Lanzarote villa to help you escape from the beach, then visitin Timanfaya Volcano Park is a must and probably top of your list if it is your first visit to the island.

Your trip will take you first to the car park at the visitor centre. The journey through the park is amazing. It is described as being a lunar scene and that is really the im pression that you do get as you gaze across 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.

Once you reach 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 surprisingly quickly just by the temperature of the rocks below the ground. Another favorite show is to place some brushwood into the rocks and then it is pulled out burning seconds later. Again, this is just the heat of the rocks.

The visitor centre also houses a fairly unusual restaurant There are no conventional 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 definitely 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, worthy of a visit!

Exploring Spain||apos;||s Costa Del Sol In A Car

Getting Around The Costa Del Sol In A Car

Over the entire Costa Del Sol region there is plenty of choice in Costa Del Sol Apartments and for a good selection look no further than a Casares Villa. But what is there to when you are there?

The best way to get around the area is in a car, as this gives you the freedom to visit the different towns and villages as and when you desire, without needing to rely on public transport.

Here is a guide to just some of the cultural and historical attractions surrounding Costa del Sol that you can explore during your holiday:

Malaga city should be the first stop for any culture lover on a holiday on the Costa del Sol. Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga in 1881 and you can visit the house in which he was born, the Casa Natal de Picasso, which is found in the Plaza del Merced. The three-storey building contains personal artifacts belonging to the Picasso family together with examples of Picasso’s prints, ceramics and graphic art. There is also a extensive collection of works by other contemporary artists.

A couple of minutes walk from the Casa Natal de Picasso is the Museo Picasso Málaga (Picasso Museum), open since 2003. It is housed in the 16th century Palacio de Buenavista and has twelve permanent exhibition halls where you can see paintings, drawings, sculptures and ceramics by Picasso. The museum also holds regular temporary exhibitions. If you’re a history buff, you’ll also be in for a treat on the lower ground floor, as you’ll be able to see the preserved Phoenician and Roman ruins uncovered when the museum was under construction.

More Costa del Sol attractions that you can see if you stop off in Malaga during your Costa del Sol holiday include Malaga’s historic fortress, the Alcazaba, and the 14th century Gibralfaro Castle.

If architecture is your interest, make sure that you allow time to visit Fuengirola. Getting around Costa del sol is easy if you try car hiring and Fuengirola and is about a half hour drive from Malaga and has a rich history.

Over the centuries it has been settled in by the Romans, Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Arabs and its architecture displays many influences and archaeologists have discovered some fascinating ruins and artefacts there. The Roman sculpture known as “Venus of Fuengirola” is the most famous artefact to have been discovered in Fuengirola. You can visit this, along with many other artefacts, in the town’s Museo de Historia (Museum of History).

You can also use a Costa del Sol hire car to visit the edge of the town to visit the Castillo de Sohail. This now restored castle dates back to the 11th century and is open to the public. It is also used as a location for theatrical performances and festivals.

Visiting Malaga Province||apos;||s White Whashed Toens

Perhaps Malaga province is best known for its whitewashed towns, but wander higher to find the more traditional and pretty ones. In the hills you will find delightful pueblos. Some bear the name of ‘Ruta de los Pueblos Blancos’, and there are up to 60 in total. If you are not staying in Villas in Casares then it is well worth the journey to the area.

For a short tour take in Casares, going via Manilva on the MA 539, the Gaucin road. Or from Bahia Casares and past the Casares Del Sol complex . Casares rises dramatically from a gorge. The view from the top of the village looking over the houses is breathtaking and is deservedly one of the most photographed villages in Spain!

On the steep approach road you will see viewpoints from where in the right conditions you can see peregrine falcons and kestrels soaring on thermals.

Casares is steeped in history and has Roman and Moorish influences. At the top is a Moorish Fort. The museum, albeit small is well worth a visit. Watch for the metal gate in the churchyard from where captive soldiers from the Spanish civil war were reputedly dumped unceremoniously into the gorge.

From the peak of Casares one can see the loft heights of the Sierra Bermeja and in the other direction the valley of the Rio Genal.

Casares is best approached by foot heading down from the top of the village by the Restaurant La Terraza. The food and wine is excellent, but be ready to pay tourist prices. Park your hire car either by a bar or at the car park on the bend, (you will see the Casares dust cart parked there) and walk down one of the footpaths that lead into the village.

On the way down remark at at the way the locals have adapted. For example they have left bench seats out with the ‘up slope’ legs cut short so that one sits level whilst resting!

Pause awhile in the main square, Plaza de España. Visit the statue of Blas Infante, so called to commemorate the Andalucía Nationalist Leader killed at the start of the civil war by Franco’s rebels. His birthplace in Calle Carrera now serves as a museum and tourist office.

There is a well rewared steep climb to the old fortress (the base of the walls are Moorish but above head height is dated after 1500), and Iglesia de la Encarnación church 1400 feet above sea level for dramatic views. The church built in 1505, last used in 1845 and damaged in the Civil war 1936-39 is presently being caringly restored.

To find it follow the narrow road adjacent to the Virgin del Rosario chapel. Visit on a clear day and you may well be rewarded with a view of the African coast and Gibraltar.

Near to the church is the Hermitage of Vera Cruz with its domed alcove which may have served as an altar room. Look for the bullet holes! During the civil war captured enemies were hurled to their deaths. Look out across the gorge looking right of Restaurant la Teraza, a simple iron cross marks and remembers yet another civil hurling site.

Throughout the summer months Casares hosts outdoor entertainment which is completely free of charge. In the last two years we have spent delightful time with friends watching Argentian and Russian dance troupes. Look in the local papers or ask at the tourist office. The village is lit all night in coloured lights and makes for a beautiful backdrop.

On the Gaucin road you will see approximately one and a half kilometres away from a small track through farm land. This was once the main route to Jimena and San Martin. Drive slowly over bumps and you will discover ruined sections of wall which are the remains of the Iberian and Roman town of Lacipo. Founded in the 2nd century BC its wealth was built on live oil, but sadly it declined in 2nd century AD.

There is plenty of suitable rental properties in which to stay to tour the area, stay at Apartments in Casares Del Sol or Benahavis.

Looking At Lanzarote||apos;||s Fire Mountain And The Purpose Built Resort Of Costa Teguise

If you are looking for places to see when you have booked a villa in Lanzarote to help you escape from the beach, then witnessing 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 honestly the impression 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 an abundance of uniformed guides to entertain you. They will show how a bucket of water poured down into a bore hole erupts seconds later as steam, heated astonishingly quickly just by the temperature of the rocks below the ground. Another favorite show is to place some brushwood into the rocks and then it is pulled out burning moments later. Again, this is just the heat of the rocks.

Also within the visitor centre is a fairly unique restaurant. There are no conventional ovens. Instead the food is cooked from the heat given off from a hole in the rocks. 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, worthy of a visit!

The island’s traditional capital of Teguise is only about ten minutes’ drive and is quiet, except during its weekly Sunday market, when many bargains and traditional wares are to be discovered.

Costa Teguise did not develop from a traditional village, but is a well built purpose built tourist resort. As such it is well laid out with shopping areas mingled around the various hotels and beaches.

Taking A Look At Lanzarote||apos;||s Capital City Of Arrecife And The Secluded Resort Of Puerto Del Carmen

If you are going to renting a private villa in Lanzarote next summer you might be wondering what places of interest to see when you are there. Well, the capital city of Lanzarote is Arrecife and that is an interesting city to visit.

Arrecife is a lively port city that took over from Teguise as the Island’s capital. It is sited on the south coast of the island, nestled between Costa Teguise and Puerto Del Carmen. Arrecife is also the home to the island’s airport and a slight diversion on the way to Puerto Del Carmen will give plane enthusiasts a real treat as they can stand almost at the end of the runway and, experience how close the airplanes pass overhead as they arrive and depart at the airport.

Arrecife is home to half of Lanzarote’s inhabitants and the site of Lanzarote’s only multi story building. From miles around the island’s only high rise hotel can be seen as a giant over the city. Cesar Manrique’s vision for the future of the island put paid to the building of any more such buildings and for 30 year this hotel, the Arrecife Gran Hotel, was a mere shell mid construction as authorities debated completion or destruction.

As already mentioned, the traditional capital was Teguise, some 6 miles further inland. This was selected as protection from the regular pirate raids of old and was the capital of the island for 4 and a half centuries. It was only in the mid 1800s, when the importance of the port was recognized for the marine trade that the capital status was moved to Arrecife.

This piratical history is still remembered today as there are two castles standing guard over the harbour. Although, these days they mainly stand and watch the biggest fishing fleet in the Canaries setting to sea and returning with their catch.

Lanzarote’s most southerly and most westerly tourist resort is Playa Blanca. It is also a newer resort than Puerto Del Carmen and Costa Teguise and there is a continuing program of building work still in progress, but many holiday makers still find it quieter than its two earlier resorts. It is just under 40 kilometers from the island capital of Arrecife and a little under 35 kilometers from the airport.

Playa Blanca began as a fishing village and more recently has seen service as the embarkation point for the ferry to near by Fuerteventura. There is even a rumour that the harbour will be enlarged to take in cruise ships to draw in more visiting tourists.

The Playa Blanca coastline consists of a 9 kilometer wide bay, split into 3 smaller bays, including the best known of the 3 bays, Papagayo. This has the result of producing neat beaches with white sand that are safe for swimming and soaking up the sun’s rays. Scuba diving is also possible with the English speaking dive centres dotted around. Although the aquatic life is looks pretty much the same as the whole of Lanzarote, diving over the white sands does make an unusual change.

There are plenty of restaurants and shopping opportunities in Playa Blanca, but nightlife is said to be a little quieter than its sister resorts near to the island’s capital. Most of the accommodation in Playa Blanca consists of holiday villas rather than hotels and apartments and there is a good number to choose from. Finding a Playa Blanca Villa is commonplace and there are an excellent choice of villas available.

Places To See Well Worth A Visit To Keep You Occupied In Lanzarote
