So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Holiday Villas in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote: Ideal Winter Holiday

By Miles Couchman

Playa Blanca, Lanzarote has enjoyed a second to none reputation as an ideal family holiday resort for many years. Located at the southern tip of Lanzarote, it enjoys the best weather on the island - and all year round as well, thus making Playa Blanca an ideal winter holiday destination as well.

The start of many new flights from the UK since October 2009, thanks to Ryanair, Aer Lingus and Monarch, has caused a reduction in travelling costs to Lanzarote, and this helped to contribute to a 31% increase in passengers in October 2009 compared to the same month in 2008.

Playa Blanca has developed from its original fishing village roots, to become a thriving family resort, based around a the development of high quality, luxury holiday villas and apartments. There is also a wide choice of restaurants to suit all budgets.

Playa Blanca offers magnificent 360 degree views. Out to sea, there is a spectacular view of Lobos and Fuerteventura, the two neighbouring islands. In the other direction, the mountains of Femes and Timanfaya provide a spectacular backdrop to this beautiful resort.

Playa Blanca also has some of the best beaches on Lanzarote, including several at Costa del Papagayo situated at the northern end of Playa Blanca, Playa Dorada (close to the stylish Marina Rubicon with its designer boats and yachts), the Town Beach, and Playa Flamingo at the southern end. In between, there is also the port of Playa Blanca, where ferries travel to and from Fuerteventura.

Many consider that the best way to enjoy a family holiday in Playa Blanca is at one of the luxury villas that have been built around the town. These range in size from 2 bedroomed, semi-detached villas that are close to the centre, to much larger 4 to 5 bedroomed properties with games rooms and hot tub/jacuzzis. Some of these developments can be seen ranging up the sides on Montana Roja, as you travel south from the town towards the lighthouse and Faro Park which marks the southernmost tip of the resort. Many villas in this area enjoy stunning views of the Bocaina Straits, as well as the neighbouring islands of Fuerteventura and Lobos.

There are a number of Lanzarote specialist villa agencies, who tend to be more knowledgeable than the more international villa advertising sites. They can always help with advice about locations, the need for a car, local attractions, and so on, as well as also often knowing a lot about the individual properties themselves.
