Our walking tour begins at the magnificent Playa Grande, the resort's crown jewel. This expansive golden beach, stretching over 1 km, has been the heartbeat of Puerto del Carmen since its transformation from a quaint fishing village in the 1960s to a world-class holiday hotspot.
Immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of "The Strip" as we stroll along Avenida de las Playas. This bustling 7 km promenade is the lifeline of Puerto del Carmen, boasting an impressive array of restaurants, bars, and shops. From traditional Canarian cuisine to international flavors, The Strip offers a culinary journey around the world, set against the backdrop of stunning ocean views.
Discover the fascinating history of Puerto del Carmen as we explore its sun-drenched streets. Once known as La Tiñosa or "the sooty one" due to its volcanic black sand, this former fishing hamlet has evolved into Lanzarote's tourism powerhouse. Today, it welcomes millions of visitors annually, drawn by its perfect blend of natural beauty, modern amenities, and year-round sunshine.
