As regards restaurants, there are many to be found within 15 minutes of the villa - from those in Playa Blanca to the beautiful villages of El Golfo and Playa Quemada where the restaurants perch right on the sea's edge, and not forgetting the marinas in Playa Blanca and Puerto Calero.
The vineyards and bodegas of La Geria are just around the corner and a drive through the region offers vistas not seen in many places due to the unique way they grow the vines. Many of the bodegas offer wine tasting and the volcanic soils result in very special wines. A visit to Timanfaya and a tour around the volcanos is recommended - the children will love the show they put on at Timanfaya itself. Also for children, there is a water park in Playa Blanca.
