Situated to the south of the airport, Puerto del Carmen is the main resort of Lanzarote. A long stand of sandy beach stretches for a good distance with a promenade carefully landscaped with trees and cacti. Ample seating is provided along the sea front and bars and restaurants are plentiful. Scuba diving, deep sea fishing, jet ski, parasailing and windsurfing are easily found. The villa is situated between the old town and the main beach. In the old town is a small bay ideal for children ( turn left at the old town crossroads and follow the road round ). The picturesque harbour where the fishing boats land their catches and sell their wares is a short walk. Also at the harbour are the finest fish restaurants. Tennis courts, gyms and squash courts can be found a few minutes walk away. Taxis are plentiful and cost 3/4 euros approx to come back up to the villa. A good supermarket with meat counter is at the end of the road sufficient for all your supplies.
