Arrecife overview
The small city of Arrecife is the gateway to the popular island paradise of Lanzarote is as well as a hopping-off point to some of the world’s most charming beaches, landscapes and fishing villages. The city itself is more an administrative hub than a tourist destination, but Arrecife is surrounded by a wealth of tailored seaside resorts catering for everything from family holidays, to 18-30 getaways, as well as a host of must see tourist attractions.
Most of the island’s resorts are located in Puerto Del Carmen, a beautiful seaside town south of Arrecife, and Playa Blanca, one of the Lanzarote’s most celebrated beaches. Alternatively, the northeast corner of the island is home to the equally as popular Costa Teguise and its fair share of oceanfront property. Wherever you decide to make your base, Lanzarote is a small island measuring only 330 square miles (854 sq km), making everything well within reach.
Like the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote is volcanic and its population of extinct volcanoes is an absolute must-see. Head for Timanfaya National Park in the southwest corner of the island where a rugged landscape of volcanoes stretch across the horizon, their recently-erupted appearance having gone unchanged since their last activity in the 18th century. Away from the park’s Land Before Time look you can find restaurants that utilize the tectonic activity beneath the surface to cook all manner of traditional grill dishes. Coastal activities are also in big demand, with Puerto del Carmen running a number of aquatic sports including kite surfing, banana boating and fishing trips. For an altogether different experience, check-out Jameos del Agua, a cave complex that includes a lagoon, natural concert hall, restaurant and museum.
