CORRALEJO

The main tourist resort of the north still retains its village charm along with its newer attractions. A host of bars and restaurants cater for most tastes and there are some late night venues. The cuisine is very cosmopolitan and ranges from typical Canarian dishes served at pavement cafes to Chinese, Thai and Indian. There are a growing number of shops and for market lovers there is one held on Monday and Friday mornings by the new exciting Water Park.

The newly renovated harbour area is a good place to walk, have a drink or simply “people watch.” Here the main boat trips and diving schools have their kiosks and it is also the point where the ferries to Lanzarote set off. This port still manages to retain its local flavour and you can see many local fishing boats tied up on the wooden jetties. The area has wonderful beaches and sand dunes. These are very reminiscent of the desert and this area, along with the Island of Lobos has been declared a National Park. The area measures approximately 30 sq kilometers and the waters that separate the two islands are a natural reserve. (The narrow strait that divides the two islands is about half a mile wide.)

Flats suitable for residence, apartments and villas, new villas on the Golf Resort and resale properties, the choice is vast in the most popular village in the Norh.
