Whilst tourism to various North African countries has recently been hit by political upheaval, it has proved to have a positive impact on the Canary Islands as significant numbers have decided against visiting the trouble spots and changed their holiday destinations.
The Canary Islands have long been known as a reliable winter sun destination in Europe and their popularity this winter and spring has proved this. Of the seven islands, Lanzarote is particularly popular and has the tourist infrastructure to cope with increased demand. This increased activity is good news for those who own a holiday rental property on the island, as there has been greater demand for accommodation over the last few months creating a lot of bouyancy in the property for sale in Lanzarote market, which has also received a much needed stimulus. As many visitors who have come here for the first time have discovered just what a lovely destination Lanzarote is. Leading to increased interest in property for sale in Playa Blanca, where a wide range of holiday accommodation can be purchased.
Playa Blanca is the newest resort on the island and has really come into its own since the beginning of the twenty-first century. Up until then, it was a fairly small fishing village, with beautiful beaches just outside its eastern edge.
This is no longer the case though, as the resort has grown in popularity with holidaymakers, partly thanks to its wonderful coastal walkway that runs from the west to the east of the town. And the numerous good quality four and five star hotels that can be found here, with great guest facilities such as spas.
The beaches actually within the town have been improved with breakwaters to ensure enjoyable bathing conditions for small children and boast fine golden white sand in each. Whilst the beaches at Papagayo are regularly voted amongst the best to be found in the whole archipelago.
Several pedestrian streets form the resort’s centre, with plenty of places to dine out and go shopping found here. For the dedicated shopper, there are several boutique outlets and excursions based in the relatively new marina, just to the east of the centre.
Playa Blanca also benefits from its close proximity to Lanzarote’s leading tourist attraction, the Timanfaya National Park. This is where a huge number of the island’s dormant volcanoes can be seen up close, giving a fascinating insight into Lanzarote’s history which usually enthralls both children and adults alike.
