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.
