Location
Costa Teguise is located on the eastern side of
Lanzarote, close to the capital and only 10 to 15 minutes by car from
the airport. It offers all types of accommodations and activities.
Costa Teguise is one of the most attractive tourist areas on Lanzarote
thanks to its array of lodgings, beaches, services and the tranquillity of breathes around it.
One of the great appeals of Costa Teguise is its
recreational facilities which run from a large variety of water
activities to a golf course and water park. You’ll find several windsurfing schools along the Cucharas Beach and Jablillo Avenue
If you are in Costa Teguise, you should visit the Pueblo Marinero
(fishing village) which is a cluster of typical Canary buildings as
conceived by the artist, César Manrique. Restaurants, pubs and shops, as
well as a market held every Friday from 19:00 hours, can be found
there.
