It's a whooping yee-haw and a twirl of the lasso up in the Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park. Home to famous country and western nights of line dancing and traditional hoedowns, this is somewhere you can feel proud to don the Stetson and spurs. It's also much more than just an occasional host of Puerto del Carmen's shindigs, because there are on-site enclosures with seals and parrots and bison and turtles – enough to keep any family crew smiling for the whole day.
Many Puerto del Carmen holiday rentals line the blocks that filter away from the main beachfronts, meaning you can stroll to the sands just moments after waking up. After that, you could take a walk down the bustling promenade to find souvenirs – a lump of Lanzarote volcanic stone, perhaps? Or, you could hit the casinos to try your luck on the blackjack tables. Boat trips are there if you're looking to escape for a little while – they can get you to far-flung isles, like La Graciosa, or to famous scuba spots around the coast.
Puerto del Carmen is an ideal base camp for exploring the wonders of Lanzarote. Holiday lettings are just a short distance from places like Timanfaya National Park, a volcanic landscape with geysers and a geothermal restaurant, and Jameos del Agua, a volcanic cave system with an underground concert hall, restaurant and salt lake. You'll also enjoy the Cactus Garden, a vibrant garden with over 1,000 cacti species in a former quarry.
Not too much forward planning has to go into any Puerto del Carmen holiday. That's because Lanzarote – and the Canaries as a whole – really don't have off seasons. They're warm and pleasant all year round, thanks to their location close to the coast of Africa. A bout of winter sun? December to March has temperatures in the low 20s and only a tad extra rainfall. Want to come during the UK school breaks? June to August is scorching hot – sometimes close to 40 – and you'll want to book you Puerto del Carmen holiday rentals as early as possible.
Almost midway between Arrecife, the Lanzarote capital, and the Costa de Papagayo, on the far tip of the island, Puerto del Carmen is perfectly located to make the most of the gorgeous beaches that run all the way along the south-eastern shores. The main beach is wide and sandy, chocka with deckchairs, and washed by a sea of pearly blue. Lines of palms stand behind, while the peaks of Lanzarote's heartland can also be seen. If you're keen on exploring them, be sure to plan a daytrip to the Timanfaya National Park, where lava fields and mighty volcanos dominate.
The beaches of Puerto del Carmen are one of its biggest traveller draws. Holiday homes put you within reach of beautiful beaches like Playa Blanca, a relaxed beach for swimming and sunbathing, and Playa de los Pocillos, a wide, sandy beach with a family-friendly environment and seaside amenities. You could also visit Playa Matagorda, a quiet beach with calm waters for swimming.
The nearest airport is in Arrecife (ACE-Lanzarote), located 3 mi (4.8 km) from the city centre.
