Hi,
Planning winter sun for next year, after self catering for couple in a quiter/smaller town/village rather than a mainstream holiday place, (want a couple of local bars/restaurant, couple of shops, etc within walking distance, maybe on a bus route), somewhere to use as a base for exploring (and maybe local walking) as we’d have a hire car.
Haria in Lanzarote looked very nice when I cycled through it last month. smallish town, bustling market square on a saturday.
Wherever you go I'd *highly* (unless you are veggie/vegan) recommend this place at the bottom of the mirador del rio
Restaurante Volcan de La Corona Asador - Grill
We stayed in Puerto del carmen - which is massive strip resort, but was actually very pleasant in February.
Lanzarote's a small island, you can go anywhere with a short drive. My aunt lives in Puerto Calero, which was quiet the last time I was there (a few years ago, it might have grown since), and has a marina with a few bars and restaurants. Puerto del Carmen has a nice seafront but will be busier. I don't know too much about the inland towns but they're likely to be less touristy than the south coast.
Fuerteventura also worth considering… We just had a week in Lajares which is a quiet little town. Close to Cotillo for great beach/old town/harbour. Also close to Coralejo if you want shops/tourist stuff. Also not far to East coast beaches. Recommended.
