Jardin del Sol is the ideal place to meet these requirements. Its location near the centre of Playa Blanca means that it is within easy walking distance of the harbour and seafront promenade as well as beaches, supermarkets, shops, bars and restaurants. Playa Blanca is the smallest and quietest of all the resorts on Lanzarote. The former fishing village on the southwest tip of Lanzarote has retained many of its traditional features and much of its original charm and is ideal for couples and families. It enjoys stunning views across the Straits of Bocaina to Fuerteventura and the smaller neighbouring island of Los Lobos. Its informal, relaxed atmosphere focuses on a small harbour offering a 35 minute ferry service to Fuerteventura at regular hourly intervals which stands at the mid point of a wide seafront promenade stretching eastwards from Punta de Pechiguera to Las Coloradas Beach at Punta del Papagayo. A commercial centre stands near the harbour, with supermarkets and gift shops overlooking the sea or in a partly traffic-free upper street. The Playa Blanca nightlife centres on a wide range of restaurants, cafes and bars providing entertainment on the sea-facing promenade. Marina Rubicón is an up-market oceanside development, which forms a leisure craft harbour with 400 berths, designer outlets, restaurants, cafes and bars between the southern resort of Playa Blanca and the Papagayo beaches. A collection of sandy coves form the Papagayo beaches, which are considered to be among the best in the Canary Islands, providing peace and quiet less then five kilometres away over unmade roads and are popular with naturists, snorkellers and surfers. Lanzarote, the fourth largest and most easterly of the Canaries situated approximately 130 kilometres off the west coast of Africa is an island of outstanding contrast with a stark natural beauty which merits its status as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The island covers an 850 square kilometre area, running 60 kilometres north to south, and is only 21 kilometres at its widest point. The climate is very mild throughout Lanzarote, and its position on the same latitude as Florida and the western Sahara virtually guarantees year-round sunshine and an average monthly temperature varying from 18*C in winter to 24*C during the summer.
