tips for travel

Tinajo is located in the central north part of Lanzarote and considered by many to have the best surfing conditions in Europe.

Elements of the coastline have become synonymous with the term “The Hawaii of Europe”.

The first of two beaches takes us to La Santa
in a village by the same name and developed around a natural lagoon that borders a little peninsula. This relatively quiet area is dominated by the internationally famous hotel and sports complex
known as Club La Santa
a ‘winter’ training ground for international sports stars.

If you are into active sports or simply want to maintain your fitness regime whilst on holiday or if you want to pamper yourself whilst your partner ‘does his own thing’
then this is the place to go. Club La Santa offers just about everything you could want in terms of active sports and everything you’d find in the very best gyms or fitness centres ‘at home’.

Another article I’ve written “31 Lanzarote Sports – Club La Santa” provides detailed information that might help you decide whether this is the place to stay
so I will only briefly cover it in this article.

Activities include Tennis (10 courts)
Squash (5 Courts)
Badminton (6 Courts)
Beach Volleyball (2 courts)
Indoor & Outdoor Basketball courts
Golf (Mini Golf and short game training)
5
football
Full sized Football
Aerobics
Leisure Pool
Olympic size Swimming Pool
Children’s Swimming Pool
Boxing
Weight Lifting and a fully equipped fitness centre with 6 Rowing Machines.

There are lots of beach/water sports on a beach measuring 910m long and consisting of fine white sand.

If you are an experienced diver and want to go on a snorkel safari
an ‘intermediate’ or simply a beginner keen to learn then checkout the diving centre programme (by the leisure pool) as it caters for all three levels. Equally
if you are into surfing then you’ve come to surfers paradise as this areas has some of the best surfing waves in Europe.

If you’re more into the pampering side of a sports centre at home
then why not consider the Hydrotherapy bath/ Jacuzzi
Cold Dip and Shower
Steam bath/ Saunas
Hydro-massage bath with essential oils
in private room (additional payment required)
Hydro-jet massage
in private room (additional payment required)
Manual treatments (additional/ seperate payment required)
Physiotherapy
Massage (Sports-
Relax-
Lymphatic Drainage-
Shiatsu Massage and Foot Reflexology).

After a hectic day
there is a range of entertainment on hand from Karaoke to guest appearances from semi-professional artists. As you’d expect
there is excellent parking on site
although it can be accessed just as easily by guaguas (autobus) and most equipment can be hired on the day at the club.
Our second beach in this area is the neighbouring beach known as Tenaza (it is actually 2km. away from Tenaza itself)
located in a rural area and measuring 90m long by 6m wide and consisting of sand mixed with fine grained black gravel. There is a parking available locally.
