Matagorda Travel Guide

Overview: Matagorda and its sister resort, Los Pocillos, lies just over a mile from Lanzarote's large, bustling holiday city of Puerto del Carmen. It is also connected to the larger, more brash resort by a pleasant, long promenade walkway. This means that visitors who opt for staying in the quieter environs of Matagorda, a former fishing village, can easily access the more boisterous entertainment and nightlife of Puerto del Carmen. Matagorda has a gently sloping beach of fine, dark sand, particularly popular for windsurfing. It boasts a central commercial centre with a fair choice of restaurants and a supermarket. In general the area is ideal for those seeking a peaceful, relaxing holiday without too many bright lights.
