Famara:
Famara is something of an alternative village, away from the tourist route.
The place with its small white houses dotted about in random fashion, lies in a wide, open landscape at the foot of mighty cliffs.
The roads in the village are mostly just sandy tracks and the beach is wild and left to nature. There is a complex of bungalows which climbs the slope which can be rented and make a fantastic holiday away fro it all. A northerly wind blows almost always, creating great waves for the happy surfer. Surfers come here to ride the world-class waves; the rest of us come to just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet….
Famara bungalows...
are unique - located on the lower slopes of the cliffs, they are half-moon shaped and set in their own gardens, and all are just a stone’s throw from the beach.
In Famara one can eat well at a reasonable price, especially if one enjoys fresh local fish. One can sit here with the unique backdrop of cliffs and listen to the sound of the waves.
Famara is unlike anywhere else on Lanzarote. It boasts the longest beach on the island, with a stunning backdrop of 2000' cliffs.
People love Famara because of its laid-back atmosphere, barely touched by tourism.
There is a restaurant, bar and shop on site, as well as a communal swimming pool. Just a short distance away is the fishing village of La Caleta de Famara, with a small number of restaurants and bars.
If you are looking for a great apartment rental in Famara then there a some great ones on offer for as little as 500 euros per week
…you like long, sandy beaches and the wind in your hair. A cooling Atlantic breeze means pleasant summer temperatures
…….you’re happy to unwind over a drink and a meal in the evening, either on one of the bungalows terraces or outdoor BBQ area, or in one of La Caleta’s fish restaurants.
Nightlife in Famara is very low-key, although it’s a just a short drive into the capital of Lanzarote, Arrecife, or into one of the tourist resorts.
