Punta Mujeres has the beauty of being a Canarian fishing village along with all
amenities needed, i.e. Restaurants, supermarkets, bakers, sea front tapas bars etc. A wonderful
place to holiday and experience the true Lanzarote life style.

The island's only 18 hole golf course, situated in Costa Teguise, is only a 15 minute drive away.

Punta Mujeres is a great base from which to explore the island, with the Jameos del Agua, Cactus
Garden, Mirador del Rio, Green Caves and the Valley of a Thousand Palms being only 10 Min's drive
away where there is a Saturday morning local craft market. Another place of interest is the historic
village of Teguise, where you can take a stroll through the meandering lanes and watch local artists
at work or visit the Sunday market, all this is only a 15 min
drive.

Get off the beaten track and discover the delights of Punta Mujeres. A classic, coastal village in the
north of the island which many tourists bypass on their way to bigger name attractions – such as the
nearby Jameos del Agua and the Cueva de los Verdes. Ask about pretty coastal villages in the North
of the island and many people will immediately mention Arrieta, not least because of the excellent
beach at Playa La Garita. But next-door neighbour Punta Mujeres has plenty to recommend it –
including excellent Restaurants and a series of attractive man made swimming pools and lagoons
along its shoreline.

INFORMATION ABOUT PUNTA MUJERES
Unlike Arrieta, Punta Mujeres benefits from a good deal more protection from the rocky hills behind
it, which are all old lava flows from Monte Corona, the biggest and oldest volcano on the island. With
your back to the sea, Monte Corona is very visible. As is all of the badland – or ‘malpais’ – the lava
covered land surrounding the volcano. The tunnels which form the Jameos del Agua and the Cueva
de los Verdes were all created by the eruptions which
emanated from here.As a result Punta Mujeres also extends out onto a number of volcanic
promontories and boasts numerous bathing pools and lagoons which are cleverly protected from the
tidal surges by giant breakwaters. These pools come complete with the sort of stainless steel stairs
and handrails you'd normally find in your local swimming baths. But unlike the average municipal
pool once the tide has turned, the sea comes crashing in over these man made barriers creating
great spumes and sprays. A real life wave machine in action. Which can be best enjoyed from the
atmospheric little Bar Las Piscinas, which is located along the main sea front walkway, under some
foxtail palms. Many locals have built their houses as close to the sea as possible creating small
alleyways and cul-de-sacs where homes (many of which are now owned by Northern Europeans)
look out over the sea. One or two houses almost blend in and disappear altogether, as they are
constructed of volcanic stone. Unsurprisingly most of the houses in the village strain to make the
most of the fantastic coastal view  however far back from the shoreline they may be located. So
there are numerous pretty terraces and balconies painted the traditional blue that once denoted the
dwelling of local fishermen providing a grandstand seat for the owners and occupants. Further along
the coastline the village reveals the remnants of an old gofio mill as well as a small muelle or
harbour. A further echo of Punta Mujeres sea faring past. Restaurants in Punta Mujeres. Punta
Mujeres is a great place to stop off for a bite to eat when out sightseeing. Towards the Arrieta end
of the village lies the excellent El Lago which offers very good quality food, friendly service and a
truly unique USP in the form of an indoor fish pond (from which the restaurant takes its name The
Lagoon) that houses all manner of fish and lobsters. Providing something of a talking point and a
great distraction for restless kids. Dine outdoors on the terrace during the day and enjoy great
views out to the Atlantic also. Venture into the back streets of the village and ll soon find the
popular Palenkis which offers an extensive menu and a South American atmosphere. From time to
time the restaurant hosts live music and the owner is something of a boxing enthusiast making this
a good place to catch wind of any local bouts. At the far end of the village, past the harbour and in
the direction of the Jameos del Agua lies the restaurant Tres Lunas. Which serves good quality
seafood along with some equally tasty views of the coastline.
