Every corner of Lanzaroto is unthinkable without the legacy and influence of its environmentalist, designer, architect and artist Cesar Manrique, who not only created unique sculptures, parks, buildings, but also helped transform the homes of the local population.
On his initiative, many buildings in villages and towns, including Puerto del Carmen, are painted white. The townspeople receive funds for the paint from the government. Also, each village here independently chooses the color with which they paint shutters and doors - there are often white-green and white-blue houses. A map of Puerto del Carmen will help tourists not to get lost in the maze of white houses.
The epicenter of all events and the main entertainment venues are located along the coast of the city, as evidenced by the map of Puerto del Carmen. In turn, the map of Puerto del Carmen with hotels will help the traveler in choosing accommodation.
The neighborhood in the center of Puerto del Carmen is surrounded by restaurants and cafes for all tastes. It's a pleasant place to stroll in the evenings. In turn, the promenade area of Puerto del Carmen offers tourists beautiful views of the bustling turquoise ocean that meets the azure sky.
Walking along the coast in front of the hotels, you can relax on the pebble beach of Las Coloradas. In addition, there are 2 cozy sandy beaches within Playa Blanca. The Puerto del Carmen area of El Varadero Harbor will give travelers a sense of the fishing village that was originally the resort.
The harbor has a beach of the same name, and if you move further west along the coast, you'll come to another beach. You can then go deeper into other parts of Puerto del Carmen, moving away from the ocean. Here travelers will find large supermarkets, shopping malls, bus stops, churches and other local attractions.
The modern central neighborhood of Puerto del Carmen is completely tourist-oriented. The main street, Avenida Playas, connects the beach to restaurants, stores and bars like a colorful ribbon. There are no dangerous neighborhoods in Puerto del Carmen. The resort town is diverse but calm in terms of crime.
