Sandra’s Spanish Holiday tips

Cesar ManriqueMirador del Rio

Next we headed to the Mirador del Rio, in the very North of the Island, which was the first of Cesar Manriques works of art we were to witness. It is basically a stunning viewing platform (mirador) with spectacular views over the Isla Graciosa and the sea beyond – yet it has been built in complete harmony with its surroundings. Stop for a coffee and admire the views from the café overlooking the mirador. The whole thing is carved out of the rocks, and is not spoilt by huge barriers so you really get the best view you can.

We were so impressed with our first trip to Lanzarote in April, we went back in July for another week – this time a more relaxing week than the last time. We did all our touring and photographing then, so we could now just relax and go back to places and restaurants that we really liked.We stayed in the same villa in Faro Park, Playa Blanca, as we loved it and the pool and Jacuzzi were going to be used more this time!

We decided to stay in Playa Blanca, as we prefer quieter places and good restaurants and Playa Blanca did not disappoint.Playa Blanca is a relatively new resort, and has been designed to suit all tastes. Much quieter than the main resorts of Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise, it has everything you need to enjoy a fabulous holiday. Just half hour drive from the airport, it lies in the most Southerly tip of Lanzarote. It also benefits from the port from which you can hop over to Fuerteventua, to which you have great views from the Playa Blanca seafront and beyond.
