There Are Loads Of Places To Go To When Staying In Costa Teguise
Costa Teguise is roughly centrally along the southern coast of Lanzarote, only around a 20 minute drive from the island’s airport in Arrecife. The island’s traditional capital of Teguise is only about ten minutes’ drive and is quiet, except during its weekly Sunday market, when many bargains and traditional products are to be discovered.
Costa Teguise did not develop from a traditional village, but is a well planned purpose built tourist resort. As such it is well laid out with shopping areas mingled around the various beaches and hotels. As with all of Lanzarote’s resorts, there are no high rise building in sight and a large choice of apartments, villas and hotels.
Scuba diving is possible from the small choice of English speaking PADI and BSAC diving schools, but only really try dives are carried out as the local playa, Playa Jabillo, at only five metres deep is not sufficient for the majority of training. Most dive schools will run customers down to Puerto Del Carmen or for a different kind of dive, along to Mala and the lava caves.
Visit the main beach to find the wind surfing schools and a vast area of sandy beach with the usual amenities and a shopping centre behind it. Many of the hotels in the central area will have direct beach access. There is the only currently completed golf course on the island near to Costa Teguise.
Finding Costa Teguise Villas is commonplace and there are an excellent choice of villas to choose from.
When you are renting an apartment in Lanzarote there are lots to see and do, as well as the beaches and Timanfaya National Park. The island is easy to tour whether in a hire car or in organized tours. Take your pick!
A favorite spot to visit, especially for my daughter, is the Cactus Garden, created by local artist Cesar Manrique. There are a wide variety of cactus plants on show, well over 1000 species in fact, in this sunken garden that can be sheltered from the hottest of the elements. There is also a restored white windmill to visit within the gardens, which also has the site’s café for a welcome refreshment or snack.
Also worth a quiet visit is El Golfo, a semi-circular volcanic crater. The crater has been half washed away by the sea, hence not being visibly chopped, and filled with sea water that has filtered through the black sand that keeps the sea from the crater. The water in the crater has caused a green lagoon, which is caused by the algae growing in the water and it contrasts spectacularly with the surrounding black sand.
Another favorite, and the target of many coach tours, is the Cave of Los Verdes. These are a complex of underground caves that were created in the lava some 3,000 years ago and were used as shelter to the early inhabitants when the pirates of old came sacking. They are well worth a visit, even if only to find out the secret of Lanzarote. You only get to witness it by visiting the cave and I’m not about to tell you now!
