There Are Loads Of Things To Do When Staying In Costa Teguise
Costa Teguise can be found roughly centrally along the southern coast of Lanzarote, only around a short journey from the island’s airport and capital 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 items are to be discovered.
Costa Teguise is not a traditional village, but is a well laid out 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 hotels, villas and apartments.
Sea diving is possible from the small choice of English speaking PADI and BSAC diving schools, but only really experience dives are carried out as the local playa, Playa Jabillo, at only fifteen feet depth is not sufficient for the majority of training. Most dive schools will run divers down to Puerto Del Carmen or for an almost totally unique experience, along to the lava caves of Mala.
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. Plenty of the hotels in the central area will have direct beach access. The only currently completed golf course on the whole of Lanzarote is located near to Costa Teguise.
Finding a villa in Costa Teguise is commonplace and there are an excellent choice of villas to choose from.
When you are renting a Lanzarote apartment there are lots to see and do, not just the beaches and Timanfaya National Park. The island is easy to see either in a hire car or in organized tours. Take your pick!
A favorite place to visit, especially for my daughter, is the Cactus Garden, designed by local artist Cesar Manrique. There are a wide selection 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 houses the site’s café for a welcome refreshment or snack.
Also worth a quick visit is El Golfo, a semi-circular volcanic crater. The crater has been half erroded by the sea, hence not being fully visible, 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 created a green lagoon, which is the result of the algae growing in the water and it contrasts spectacularly with the surrounding black sand.
Another popular spot, and the target of many coach tours, is the Cave of Los Verdes. These are a complex of underground caves that were left in the lava some 3,000 years ago and were used as shelter to the early inhabitants when the pirates of old came invading. They are well worth a visit, even if only to discover the secret of Lanzarote. You only get to view it by visiting the cave and I’m not about to tell you now!
