REEF
Communication
Despite its considerable size, Arrecife is actually centered around the seaside promenade, therefore, it is unlikely that you will need to use city buses (there are four lines, each has a stop at the promenade).
10 a minute's walk north from the center is the bus station, from which vehicles depart for the rest of Lanzarote. There is a taxi rank at the Arrecife Oran Hotel.
Orientation and information
The city is quite extensive, however, almost all the monuments, hotel, shops and restaurants are concentrated along the seaside promenade, intersecting it the main shopping street c / León and Castillo and Charco de San Gins.
There are two tourist information offices on the seaside promenade of La Marina. Tourist Board (Avda. Blas Cabrera Felipe s / n; tel 92881 1762, fax 928800080, lnfo@turismolanzarote.com, www.turismolanzarote.com; pn.-pt. 8.00-15.00), run by the local government, occupies the ground floor of a white building at the beginning of Parque Jose Ramirez Cerdś. The office also runs a small tourist information desk at the airport (tel 928820704, fax 928820704, aeropuerto@cabildodelanzarote.com).

Accommodation
There are quite a lot of places to stay in Arrecife at different prices. Accommodation can be found in a cheap guesthouse and apartment, but also in an exclusive hotel. Most importantly – it's probably the only place on the island, where travel agencies do not book entire hotels in advance, so that people traveling on their own will have no problem with making a reservation.
