Puerto del Carmen, Lanzerote

On Thursday after the meeting ended for the day several of us decided to go to Puerto del Carmen, which is along the coast towards the south. Getting there was quite an adventure as they moved the bus stop because roads were going to be closed due to Carnivale, however they didn't really tell us where the temporary bus stop was located! However we eventually found it and successfully made it to PDC. It's very touristy, not unlike the cheaper end of the Costa del Sol, so we did a little souvenier shopping then sat at the pub drinking beer. The sand is grey, clearly volcanic, and it's packed out in summer if the sun lounges are anything to go by! Saw a whale breach and blow a couple of times before diving and disappearing.
