Whilst other Spanish sunspots are packing away the loungers the Canaries are gearing up for their busiest time of the year. As these seven islands are the closest winter sun destination to the UK and Northern Europe. Enjoying temperatures in the 20´s Celsius even in the midst of December and January.
As a result the seven Canary Islands are the second most popular holiday destination in Spain after Catalonia. With little Lanzarote – the eastern most link in this chain – welcoming over 1.5 million foreign visitors during 2008.
Much of Lanzarote´s appeal can be attributed to the island’s marvellous beaches. Over ninety in total – and nearly all comprised of golden grains rather than the black sands prevalent on some of the larger Canary Islands such as Tenerife.
Anyone planning to book their holidays in Lanzarote during the winter months would be well advised to focus their search on Playa Blanca, the newest resort in the south of the island. Which boasts not only the best beaches on Lanzarote but also the most favourable weather and microclimate.
Playa Blanca is located around 40 minutes from the sole international airport at Arrecife and really emerged from its shell as a quiet fishing village during the 1990´s. Blossoming into the second most popular destination on the island today.
As well as the breathtaking beaches at nearby Papagayo the resort boasts some excellent stretches of sand – such as Playa Flamingo, Playa Dorada and Playa Blanca. Which are all united by a beachfront promenade that stretches from one end of the resort to the other.
Accommodation in Playa Blanca is also of a high standard – as most of the hotels and villas here have been constructed in the last five to ten years. Ensuring that facilities and amenities are still relatively new.
Some of the most luxurious villas in Playa Blanca can be found in and around areas such as the new Rubicon Marina and Moñtana Roja. Whilst numerous four star hotels line the shoreline – all offering great views across to the island of Fuerteventura.
Puerto del Carmen – the island’s largest resort – is also a reliable source of winter sun. Boasting excellent beaches and a large concentration of Lanzarote apartments for holidaymakers to choose from.
The resort has recently undergone a real facelift – as island authorities have pumped in millions of Euros to spruce up the tourist offering. With a new marina in the Old Town harbour area and a new pedestrianised beachfront promenade.
