Accommodation
Counted, that Puerto del Carmen is over 200 hotels. Unfortunately, most of them work only with travel agencies, therefore, arranging accommodation on your own is unprofitable and often impossible, Pension Magec (c / Iron 11; tel 928513874, www.pensionmagec.com) it is the only cheap guesthouse in the town. Consider staying in the Isla de la Graciosa apartments (c/Reina Sofia 20; ©928513386) or in Costa Mar apartments(Playa de los Pocillos s / n; ©928510410, www.lanzarote-costamar.com).

Gastronomy and entertainment
It is difficult to find good regional dishes in a typical resort, however, with a little luck in Puerto del Carmen, it might be. La Caada offers tasty meals (c/ Cesar Manrique 3; ©928512108; pn.-sb. 11.00-24,00), Puerto Viejo fc / Ntra. Mrs. del Carmen 6; ©928515265; codz. 11.00-23.00), The Lonja (Avda. from Varadero s / n; ©928511377; pn.-sb.) and La Ola (Avda. of the Beaches 10; ©928512132).
The city likes to party until dawn, so pubs, clubs and discos are plentiful here; most of them are located along the seaside promenade, Avenue of the Beaches. Most clubs are concentrated around the Emporium shopping center and the Atlśntico shopping center. One of the most popular places is Cesar's disco (Avda. of the Beaches 14; 22.00-6.00). People who like a little quieter entertainment will have fun with live music in the jazz-blues club Buddy's (c / Tenerife 18; 22.00-3.00).
