Advantages: Perfect for relaxation

Disadvantages: Bit expensive, no real entertainment

Lanzarote is a small island, a part of the Canary Islands. I have visited Lanzarote five times and stayed in the quiet resort of Playa Blanca on most southern point in the island.

As the island is off the coast of Africa, the temperatures sore the 30's which makes it perfect sun bathing weather. The sun shines from around 9am til late afternoon so there is plenty of hours to get in the sun.

The town of Playa Blanca is not for those who want to have fun nights out or a crazy holiday. I saw some girls with tshirts that said Lanzarote '07 on them so obviously they thought they were in for a good time and I felt sorry for them, because the town is for relaxation only. There are a few bars that open at night time and throughout the day like Mollys Bar, Wax Bar and Zoo Bar. There is also a bar nearby called Rooftops apparently but I never went to it. Those who are looking for a good night out, the main nightlife is in Peuta Del Carmen which is a taxi ride away. There you will find lots of bars and clubs for all ages.

The beaches at Playa Blanca are absolutley gorgeous with white sand and blue seas and skies. The beaches are not overrun by young children, but there are a lot of families who visit. You can always find sunbeds which are reasonably priced or patches of sand, it isn't full to the brim with tourists. A lot of Spanish and German people visit Lanzarote.

The beach sports are excellent with lots of things to do, from jet sking to paragliding. They are reasonably priced however not cheap enough to do them every day!

The small shops in the town are nice for small gifts and pieces of art work, and even souveniers from the island that are well priced. I love Lanzarote and its beaches and culture. Playa Blanca is for those who want a relaxing time, I would head to nearby Peurta Del Carmen for a more "nightlife" style holiday.

Summary: Love this holiday!
