Playa Blanca in Lanzarote???

Playa Blanca was once a small fishing village. Over the past ten to fifteen years it has been built-up and built-up. There always seems to be construction work going on there, and being a very dry climate, there could be a good bit of dust in the air from the building and construction traffic. There are dozens of bars and restaurants, many along the seafront overlooking the harbour where you can spend a happy couple of hours out of the heat of the day under an awning. The sea is very safe for kids.

Go to puerto Del Carmen! we've been going on a family hol every xmas to PDC since 1986. my niece and nephew's (oldest 8) love it, especially when we hire a car and take them to see the camels in Timanfaya national park and the boys liked Rancho Texas Park in PDC. you can also catch the free ferry bus from PDC to playa blanca for the ferry to fuerteventura - you don't have to get the ferry ;) also if you jump into a taxi at the airport its less than 10 euros into PDC but the taxi drivers don't usually give change! and takes about 5-10 mins - better than waiting for a bus! oh and the best restaurant on the island is La rudea (or something like that, it's got a wagon wheel out front above the doors) Lani's are all good too! and if you want perfume go to Charlies they're all over the island they give 20% discount. we stay at La Penita(excellent location) if you ring them direct to book a room tell them you stayed before and they will give you a 10% discount.

Depends when you go...during summer months its really busy with enough to do for 2 weeks - during the winter its a bit dull. The accommodation is excellent - best resort on the island for hotels and apartments but you might want to consider hiring a car to see all the island has to offer. Matagorda might be better if you plan on going up until May maggie
