Tips for your visit
Along the beach promenade at Playa Blanca, there are 82 restaurants, their terraces facing the Atlantic. Fresh fish dominates the menus, a legacy of the town’s past as a fishing village. On clear days, the coast of Fuerteventura can be made out on the horizon from some of the tables. Grilled seafood and local wine from Lanzarote’s volcanic soils are often served side by side in many of these establishments.
In the side streets away from the waterfront, there are 34 bars where locals order coffee and small snacks at the bar. Eight sports bars show football matches on screens, with a mix of holidaymakers and locals in the audience. In the evenings, the scent of fried garlic wafts through the pedestrian zone.
