hi elle

Ive been looking through your posts with a lot of interest as it seems things have really changed since I was last there for a short break in 98.
I lived in Playa Blanca in 1993-94 when I was 18 years old. I worked in El Dragon bar in Ponta Limones and live a 20 minute walk up the volcano.
We used to go to the papagayo beaches and drive across wasteland to get there as there was no development at all past playa Dorada.
Ive booked a holiday with my wife and two children (4 and 7) and im really looking forward to seeing how things have progressed.
thanks for your info its been a great help

Ooh Byron - you won't recognise the place! I wish I'd seen it back in the nineties when it was still a fishing village.

Have a fantastic time, and thank you for your kind words.

Hi Elle, now booking our airport transfers in lanzarote, the site you recommended earlier doesn't seem to link anywhere, has it changed do you know? Can you recommend a reliable company for a big group? Thanks

Hi Jayencee - yes... have a chat to the guys at http://www.canarias-puerto-mar-lanzarote.com/

I have used them for large groups. If you email them via their site they will reply in English.

Good luck! xxx

I can highly recommend these people, very reliable and competitively priced.....

Also recommend Last Minute too.

Just come back from a few nights staying at the Hotel Vulcan in Playa Blanca. Lovely hotel. Loved the marina area as well.

Are there any good internet cafes in Playa Blanca that offer printing?

Trying to avoid slightly dodgy ones that are seemingly just for the owners mates and they look at you like you're mad when you go in!

I'm staying 30 min walk out near the Montana Roja region so something on that end would be good!

Don't know about any Internet caf!s, but have you tried any Hotels they normally have payable internet in reception and where we stayed would gladly print stuff off for you (calas del sol, opposite the harbour)

Thanks! Yes, I have thought of hotels, having used their internet before, but don't remember ever seeing a printer. Will certainly try asking the staff though.

Need to print boarding passes while I'm away.

I'm off to playa blanca for new year. I didn't realise we have to print boarding passes whilst on holiday. I thought we could print them both at the same time when we check in online before we go. Who are you flying with
