Sandra’s Spanish Holiday tips

La Geria – wine making regionJust about half hour drive from Playa Blanca, past Yaiza, is the wine-making region, called the La Geria. Even if you do not opt for one of the tasting sessions, you can enjoy the unusual grape growing technique of Lanzarote from the road. Small semi-circular walls are built into the dark volcanic hill sides, where the grape vines are protected form the strong winds. It is quite a sight and worth the drive across this otherwise baron countryside. The wine, by the way, is pretty good value for money.

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.
