There is a large supermarket within 5 minutes walk and the seafront is only 5 minutes. Location of objectTHE VILLAGEPlaya Blanca, meaning \\\'White Beach\\\' is the southernmost town of the Spanish island of Lanzarote. It is the newest, yet fastest growing resort on the Island. It is 37 km far from the airport, it has its own school, notary, the bustling Rubicon Marina (with its twice-weekly market),church, harbour with ferries to Fuerteventura. The coastline around Playa Blanca is essentially one large 9 kilometre wide bay which is then broken up into three smaller, but still large, bays. This basic geography means that the beaches in and around Playa Blanca are sheltered and ideal for swimming and sunbathing. One of the attractions of Playa Blanca to visitors, is the proximity of the town centre to the promenade. Playa Blanca has all the normal tourist shops that you would expect in the centre and along the central part of the beach promenade, although not as many as the other major resorts. Moreover, the ability to walk along the promenade and stray into shops, bars and restaurants without the need to cross any road, gives Playa Blanca a relaxed atmosphere. Calle Limones is the main pedestrianised street running from the Harbour area to the centre of the town adjacent to the promenade. It has a range of shops including upmarket designer clotheswear, perfume shops, bargain clothesware and supermarkets. Shops are open until late into the evening. Nuestra Senora del Carmen is a beautiful Church located in the centre of Playa Blanca. Holy Eucharist is celebrated every Sunday at 5:30 PM for 1 hour. MARINA DE RUBICON Marina Rubicon is a new and seriously stylish Marina, with a wide range of interesting shops, bars and restaurants. On Wednesday and Saturday mornings, there is also a busy street market. For many, the enjoyment of Marina Rubicon is to wander around, admiring the wonderful boats that line the pontoons, then enjoy a drink at one of the number of bar/restaurants. The Marina also offers a great choice of quality restaurants. CASTILLO LAS COLORADAS Castillo de las Coloradas stands on the headland of Punta del Aquila. This watchtower was built between 1741 and 1744. It offered good protection through its robust circular construction and through its drawbridge. Its bell was sounded to warn that pirates were approaching the coast. THE BEACHES Playa Dorada is literally translated as The Golden Beach and this is certainly an accurate description with its warm honey coloured sand. The sea around Playa Dorada is generally very calm and it is a popular spot with residents who take a morning swim here. It is a 10 minute walk from the centre of Playa Blanca and is well served by shops and cafes. Perhaps the most well known of all the beaches around Playa Blanca is Papagayo. In reality this is a collection of smaller beaches that are separated by high cliffs, forming a number of sheltered bays. This area has been protected and is now a national park which can only be accessed by a rather bumpy dirt road. SURROUNDING AREA: Playa Blanca is overlooked by the dormant volcano, Montana Roja. The walk up to and around the rim of the mountain is not too difficult and the views over Playa Blanca, to the North of the island and across to Fuerteventura are spectacular. To the north of Playa Blanca you find a stunning and protected area named Los Ajaches (declared \\\'Natural space\\\' of the Canaries on June 19th 1987). It is a triangular area of some 3,000 hectares bounded by: the mountain village of Femes, the small coastal fishing village of Playa Quemada and the Papagayo beaches. The volcanic landscape of Los Ajaches has an impressive beauty. It includes ares of scientific interest with the presence of fossils of the Pliocene period. MORE PLACES TO VISIT NEARBY: - EL GOLFO: is a half-submerged cone of a volcano, which over time has been eroded by the sea, leaving behind only the striated wall of the crater. At the foot of the crater wall is Lago Verde, a half-moon-shaped lagoon of a striking green colour, for which mainly account volcanic minerals and micro-organisms that are believed to be unique in this lake. This landscape is so wild and raw, filmmakers thought it was the ideal backdrop for Raquel Welch to appear in, wearing her animal skin bikini in the classic movie One Million Years B.C. El Golfo’s fish restaurants are amongst the best in the Canaries, and once tasted, it’s not hard to see why (with the beautiful setting overlooking the sea). -SALINAS DE JANUBIO (Salt Works): About 8 km north of Playa Blanca is the Laguna de Janubio, a large, emerald green saltwater lagoon,location of the Salinas de Janubio, the only still operating commercial salt works on the island. At its high Salinas produced around 10,000 tons of sea salt per year, with the water originally being pumped into the lagoon by wind power, which has been replaced by electrically driven pumps. -TIMANFAYA NATIONAL PARK: In 1993, UNESCO designated the Biosphere reserve. Access to the park by the public is strictly regulated to protect the delicate flora and fauna. There are one or two footpaths, and a popular short route where one can visit by camel. There is a public car park from which one can tour the volcanic landscape by coach using a road that is otherwise closed to the public. The volcanic activity continues as the surface temperature in the core ranges from 100 to 600 °C at the depth of 13 metres (43 ft), which is demonstrated by pouring water into the ground, resulting in a geyser of steam which is an attraction for tourists.
