Things to Do  

Visit the Marina

Visit the Marina, Playa Blanca

 SabrinaSummerville Says:  The newly built Marina Rubicon is a picturesque 20 minute walk along the seafrot from Playa Blanca town.Crowded with small and medium sailcraft that bob up and down in crystal clear waters, the marina is also a haven for hungry fish and squawking gulls. Sitting at any of the... 

The Marina Rubicon Market

The Marina Rubicon Market, Playa Blanca

 SabrinaSummerville Says:  Any time between 9am and 2 pm on any given Wednesday or Saturday, you can stand on your hotel balcony and watch the busy tourists and locals, like little ants, scurrying their way along the seafront walkway to the market at the Marina Rubicon.This is not your usual three... 

Lanzarote: Papagayo Beaches

Lanzarote: Papagayo Beaches, Playa Blanca

 Bigs Says:  Fine sandy beaches in the south of Lanzarote. A dirty and stoney road is bringing you there. It costs 500 Pesetas per car. It´s worth it!

Restaurants  

Atlantico Restaurant: A hidden Gem inThe Best Restaurant in Playa Blanca

Atlantico Restaurant: A hidden Gem inThe Best Restaurant in Playa Blanca, Playa Blanca

 AnthonyGibbon Says:  The best meals I had for the last 10 years in Lanzarote. We've been there more than 10 times and never been dissapointed. Difficult to find, opposite the church , above Rental Car Cabrera & Medina , near to Nags Head, but worth looking for it as it has the best quality food... 

Casa Pedro: Seafront Fish without frills

Casa Pedro: Seafront Fish without frills, Playa Blanca

 SabrinaSummerville Says:  My first words of advice are - don't be put off if your initial reception at Casa Pedro is rather cool to the point of rudeness. It's worth your while to stick it out.The restaurant was recommended by our hotel and was easy to spot, situated as it is at the end of the beach... 

La Casa Roja: Simply the best in Marina Rubicon

La Casa Roja: Simply the best in Marina Rubicon, Playa Blanca

 SabrinaSummerville Says:  La Casa Roja sets itself apart from the mundane in every way.It was recommended by our hotel, but I would have chosen it anyway from the fascinating architectural appearance to the mouth watering menu exhibited outside to the location right over the marina.We hadn't planned... 

Lani's at Marina Rubicon: Consistently good

Lani's at Marina Rubicon: Consistently good, Playa Blanca

 SabrinaSummerville Says:  Lani's is a chain of restaurants throughout the island of Lanzarote but each restaurant has its own theme. They've been around for as long as I can remember and I find them to be very consistent - reasonably priced, great food, fast service, scrupulously clean, and... 

They do not know the meaning of Customer service: Casa Pedro

They do not know the meaning of Customer service: Casa Pedro, Playa Blanca

 advacado Says:  Our evening at Casa Pedro was memorable for all the wrong reasons. on arrival we were shepherded into a small back room with a bar and given no indication of how long we would have to wait for a table. Having brought a drink we were rather stuck. after just under an hour we... 

Romantica: A Bit too Plush

Romantica: A Bit too Plush, Playa Blanca

 advacado Says:  Romantica is an ultra modern restaurant that we believe has opened in the current premises for the past couple of years, It was rather too plush for us and the prices were a little steep as well. One could not fault the service it was spot on. The steaks we ordered were... 

El Horno: Especially good if you enjoy meat

El Horno: Especially good if you enjoy meat, Playa Blanca

 advacado Says:  El Horno restaurant is tucked away at the back of the town square. It is small in size with we counted 14 tables some for 2 people others for 4 persons. It is quite intimate and the dress code is at least smart casual , no jeans and T shirts here. It specialises in meat... 

Los Hervideros Restaurant; Playa Blanca: A hidden lovely traditional Spanish Restuarant

Los Hervideros  Restaurant; Playa Blanca: A hidden lovely traditional Spanish Restuarant, Playa Blanca

 advacado Says:  Los Hervideros Restaurant is a hidden find in the back street of the resort of Playa Blanca in Lanzarote. Other guests in our accommodation advised us about this little treasure and gave us specific directions to find it as it is tucked away in a back street away from the... 

Pizzeria New Orleans: Cheap and nasty - avoid like the plague!

Pizzeria New Orleans: Cheap and nasty - avoid like the plague!, Playa Blanca

 samprice11 Says:  This place was cheap and the food certainly tasted cheap! We had Quesadilla's and spaghetti bolognese both of which were pretty nasty. The minced beef used in the spag bol must have been the cheapest stuff they could get their hands on as it contained all sorts of "extras"... 

Brisa Marina: Nice views, shame about the food!

Brisa Marina: Nice views, shame about the food!, Playa Blanca

 samprice11 Says:  NIcely located on the main pedestrianised are that runs along the coast line through town, however, the food was not that great. We had grilled prawns and an omlette, both of which were nothing special. There are much better restaurants in town (like China City and the... 

Moulin de Paris (Marina Rubicon): Fantastic little coffe shop / cafe

Moulin de Paris (Marina Rubicon): Fantastic little coffe shop / cafe, Playa Blanca

 samprice11 Says:  Not so much a restaurant, but more a coffe shop / cafe. The patisseries are fantastic there and it's really well located in the centre of the Marina Rubicon. A bit more expensive than the average cafe but so worth it for the view over the marina and quality of the food and... 

Lani's (Marina Rubicon): Good on one visit and bad on the other

Lani's (Marina Rubicon): Good on one visit and bad on the other, Playa Blanca

 samprice11 Says:  This restaurant was a bit of a mixed bag really. For our first visit we went in the evening and had steak and Lasagna which were both excellent. We were so impressed we thought we would return for lunch a few days later and try the mexican menu (Enchilada's and nacho's) both... 

Ristorante Made in Italy: Nice Italian restaurant with good beach views

Ristorante Made in Italy: Nice Italian restaurant with good beach views, Playa Blanca

 samprice11 Says:  Food was great and had nice views over the beach from the veranda. High chairs available. Highly Recommended. Lasagna and pizza (can't remember what type I had!) were both excellent. Lasagna 

China City: Excellent food and atmosphere

China City: Excellent food and atmosphere, Playa Blanca

 samprice11 Says:  Food was traditional chinese (as opposed to the "fusion" sytles that are becoming more popular). Every dish we tried was great. They offer a good fixed price menu that is good value and really nice. I don't normally return to a restaurant more than twice on a holiday but... 

Shopping  

Belen Donate: Every Day is Shoes-day

Belen Donate: Every Day is Shoes-day, Playa Blanca

 SabrinaSummerville Says:  If you're a girly shoe-lover, like me, you'll adore this shop.I happened upon it while rambling aimlessly (which is sometimes the best thing to do on holiday) along the seafront. My eye was captured by the most wonderfully pretty ladies shoes I had ever seen.On wandering...
