Joy for Flamingo

Happy days may be here again in Lanzarote if you are one of those families that have booked right by Playa Flamingo Beach.As you may or not be aware Playa Flamingo beach, which is always popular with parents of young families because of the safety of the shallow protected waters, has been closed for major works for several months now. As always in Spain, and Lanzarote is no exception, the manana effect is paramount.

The main damage to the breakwaters, which led to the loss of the sand, was attributed to the remnants of a Carribean hurricane back in 2005!! Yes 2005, now thats a few mananas in my book. Each following year the loss of sand on the beach has increased especially when winter storms have ensued. Finally the Cabildo authorised the funds for the repairs to the breakwaters and work has been ongoing for several months now.

The good news is that the company working on the repairs have announced that the beach is scheduled for re-opening at the end of the first week in August so British holiday makers going in School holidays may be ok!! I said maybe OK!! You just never know. Keep up to date with this blog for the actual opening date as soon as we hear.

happy holidays.....
