The beaches of Playa Blanca are loved for its crystal clear, emerald green water and fine golden sand. The location of the beaches – in the south of Lanzarote – ensures pleasant and comfortable climate. During the winter months, this is the warmest area of the island.

Normally the centre is the pedestrianised street called Calle Limones....but as Playa Blanca stretches over 10km from end to end there are other areas such as Marina Rubicon.

The Papagayo beaches are secluded and undisturbed conducive to an intimate and peaceful beach day for couples young and old. As the most upmarket resort town on the island, Playa Blanca still maintains an authentic feel – an ode to its former position as an idyllic fishing village.

Papas arrugadas: Lanzarote's most famous dish It is the signature dish of Lanzarote, it is made with small, wrinkled potatoes with black skin, which are traditional from the Canaries. You will see them on the menus of all the restaurants on the island.
