Refuse Collection:
Refuse is collected centrally from large bins placed at the side of many roads.
Although technically, you can use any bin, there are bins designated for the use
of Faro Park residents located on the right side of the entrance road to our villa,
Residencia Faro Park. There are four white doors and the bins are inside this
enclosure.
Health Matters:
All doctor and dental services are private. You may be required to pay in cash.
Have your travel insurance documents with you.
There are numerous pharmacies around Lanzarote. There are many more
medicines available “over the counter” in Spain than in the UK, for example
strong painkillers and antibiotics. The pharmacists usually speak English and
are generally very helpful.
The pharmacy that we recommend you use is situated near the harbour area of
Playa Blanca – labelled Puerto. If you head towards the port/harbour from the
town centre of Playa Blanca, the port/harbour area will be on your left hand-
side. When you come to the next roundabout, go right round the roundabout
so that you come back on yourself. You will see some shops to the right (past
the harbour/port) – and a side road off to the right. Just here – in-between a
Deutsch supermarket & a clothes shop called Aries, you will find a pharmacy.
This will be marked with a large green flashing cross outside. You can park
outside the pharmacy or in the car park opposite the pharmacy.
Directions to Arrecife Hospital (Tel. [phone]):
Take the main road from Playa Blanca past the airport and head towards
Arrecife. Stay on the main road past Playa Honda (you will see Hipo Dino on
the right) and get into the outside lane of the dual carriageway you are on.
Take the next left turn onto a road signposted „circunvalacion‟. Stay on this
road passing the BP garage on the right and take the next available right. This
turning is for the hospital and San Bartolome. Once you have turned right you
will pass around under the circunvalacion and head towards San Bartolome on
a main road. At the earliest opportunity after you have gone under the
circunvalacion, move across into the right hand lane next to a petrol station.
This road will take you off the main road that goes to San Bartolome. Stay on
the road until you come to a small roundabout (about 300 mtrs.) from the petrol
station. The hospital is directly in front of you.
