At this time of year you may well be looking for where you're going to spend your summer holidays this year, looking for the perfect location to relax and take a break from working life. But with all the cheap flights and package deals available we're really spoiled for choice and it can be quite confusing with people and travel agents alike telling you which the "in" places are this year.
One such place that is highly recommended is the Island of Lanzarote, specifically the town of Playa Blanca. Playa Blanca gets it's name from it's star attraction; it's white sands beach, a popular tourist location boosted by being awarded the European Blue Flag due to it's cleanliness. This obviously make it ideal for family holidays where you can rest easy knowing the children will be safe playing on the beach while you top up your tan!
As well as the beaches in Playa Blanca, not far away are the beaches of Papagayo which has a unique protection law that prohibits developments on their beaches, this restriction serves to ensure that the beach is kept as nature intended, so if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas this is the place for you.
There are many more activities and sights to see in Playa Blanca away from its beaches though, with hiking being a popular activity, whilst you are walking around the Castillo de Las Coloradas, the castle on Eagle's Point you may well see some birds of prey; Barbary Falcons and Egyptian Vultures are known to fly in the area, although, curiously there are no Eagles.
If you're looking for places to stay near Playa Blanca there are plenty of holiday Rentals like homes and villas available, and with the prime location Playa Blanca is guaranteed to provide stunning views as well as a relaxed setting for your summer getaway. The added advantage of villa holiday rentals is that you aren't crammed into a skyscraper hotel like sardines and can have a truly relaxing holiday.
All in all Playa Blanca has everything you'd want from a holiday in the Canary Islands; plentiful sun, everlasting beaches and marinas and harbours providing amazing food. So this year if you're considering somewhere new for your holidays then consider discovering Playa Blanca in Lanzarote
