The best thing about a self-catering holiday is the fact that you have complete freedom to explore food markets and cook at home as well as sample local restaurants and bars.
A busy resort, there are some great places to visit in Playa Blanca and the surrounding area. The beaches are beautiful, ideal for long, lazy days in the sun. Or, there are a range of day excursions available. A good way to start is the Grand Tour, available from local travel agencies. A day long excursion, the trip visits the main sights in Lanzarote, including the Timanfaya volcano drive and La Geria winery.
After a day exploring the island, if you don’t feel like cooking or just fancy a drink before returning home, there is a selection of relaxed cafes and bars that serve food along the promenade. Close to the harbour, it is a picturesque spot to relax over a drink and watch the world go by.
One of the best spots to sample local cuisines is La Bocaina, one of the oldest places in Playa Blanca. Trading for more than 40 years, it has built up a loyal following of locals and returning holidaymakers. Diners are lured by the talents of the two British chefs-owners, serving dishes like poached sole and tournedos Rossini, and the views across the Bocaina Straits.
