Travel notes for Costa Teguise
From Wikivoyage
Costa Teguise is a beach resort on the east coast of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. It's about 7 km east of the capital Arrecife and 15 km from the island's airport. In 2022 the resident population was 8949, but this is greatly swelled by visitors, as it's a popular spot for budget package holidays. It was built as a planned resort in the 1970s, which must have been exciting times here, as the bedrock is tough lava and the developer was Rio Tinto Explosives.
