lol Hillsalt, thanks for a laugh on a Monday morning
Couldn't agree with you more re Tuam. Lanzarotte is clean and safe I'll give it that. But my God a bit it has nothing else to offer at all other than the weather, which is also nice. Just couldn't figure out the attraction of the place.
Graham if you don't mind me asking, do you generally stay in the same apartment/hotel when you go over there or does it depend on where you can get the best deal.
there is a lovely little bar nearby called Bogarts. Happy days!!
Are there problems with mosquitoes or cockroches in and around Puerto del Carmen. I see that a lot of the apartments are ground floor villa type accommodation. I have terrible memories of being invaded by bugs in other parts of the Canaries and that is one of the reasons why I have not been back in years.
However with Ryanair and Aer Lingus pulling other routes this winter it looks as if we are heading back to the 70's with limited choice of sun destinations.
By the way, I found the 'old town' to be extremely tacky, dirty and smelly, full of grubby looking 'Irish' bars. Can't see the attraction at all.

Slim,
Something tells me you missed the old town, and went for the "strip" which runs adjacent to the beach. There were no Irish bars in the old town when I was last there (admittedly 4 years ago now). But there were some beautiful restaurants, also a Boules green hosting real teams playing in a local league, and generally having a lovely atmosphere. All this just a stones throw from the more tacky element I think you are describing. Unless I'm mistaken and its all gone very badly downhill - tell me it isn't true!
