Puerto del Carmen is on the south eastern side of the island, 15 kilometres from the airport. The town is spread along the coast with a very long promenade, white beaches, shops and bars. The old part of the town, where our apartment is situated, has a pretty harbour with many and varied restaurants, beaches and spectacular cliffs, all within walking distance. Lanzarote is well known for its volcanic, lunar type landscape, lava fields, caves, camels, palms and beaches. Some of the sights to see include the volcanic house of the famous Spanish artist and sculpture, Cesar Manrique and his magnificent cactus gardens with over 1,400 species, the National Park of Timanfaya where you can bus trip to the summit of the volcanoes. You can also go to the famous Sunday market at Teguise, have a round of golf or even a camel ride! Maybe you will want to take a boat trip across to the islands of Fuerteventura or Lobos. There are tours that can be booked through any operator.
