Location
This delightful holiday villa is situated in a quiet cul de sac in the popular residential area of Los Mojones above Puerto del Carmen. The quaint old town is around a ten minute to fifteen minute walk downhill from the villa and has a picturesque harbour where you can watch the fishermen bring in their catch or dine in one of the fish restaurants overlooking the sea. The atmosphere in the old town is laid back and friendly, with traditional tapas bars lining the cobbled streets.
Ten minutes further on is the lively main promenade or ‘Avenida’ which runs alongside the beach and has a huge variety of bars, shops, international restaurants and amusements. The award-winning Playa Grande beach is sandy and gently sloping making it popular with families. You can hire parasols and sun-loungers here, or explore some of the other rocky coves which are dotted around the coastline if you would prefer something more private. There are several windsurfing and diving schools in Puerto del Carmen offering equipment hire and lessons, as the coastline offers the perfect conditions for both these sports. Swimming, running and cycling are also popular in resort, with several bike hire companies along the promenade.
The resort offers plenty of opportunities for retail therapy and has a range of excellent shops. Souvenir shops line the Avenida or you can browse an array of local crafts and up-market luxury good at the Biosfera shopping centre.
Also nearby is the incredible National Park of Timanfya, a 50km square area whose landscape has been shaped by past volcanic activity on the island, the most recent eruption being nearly two centuries ago. Various tours are offered in the park, including a camel ride if you are feeling adventurous, and you can enjoy a meal cooked over natural geotherm
