Matagorda (The Commercial Centre)

Readers have told us there are some new and interesting restaurants and bars at the Matagorda commercial centre. We headed there with the camera to have a look.
The centre is right on the promenade and we have a look around to see what's there.

Great video. We love Matagorda. Heading back in September. I believe the Spar is undergoing refurbishment.Hong Kong Island is superb. Connys bar is lovely. What is not to like about Lanzarote?. Great video.

[@DonCairns-lh4ps]

Great Video thank you. I have never been to Lanzarote before. But hoping to be their in August or September for 2 to 3 weeks. Once again thanks🌞👍👍

Hi Mike, thanks for all your videos from someone who has recently discovered your channel and site. We've had 2 fantastic holidays in Lanzarote in the past year and will be back in November. Pocillos/Matagorda is one of our favourite spots to walk and have a drink and some food. Also, despite the negative (and inaccurate) press about tourism, we found PdC very chilled out and not at all too busy. The next trip can't come soon enough. Cheers.

The only place I stay when I visit lanzarote. I’ve just returned home from my recent stay. Can’t wait to get back across in November

Matagorda is a beautiful spot, bars & restaurants are ok, bar Sin Nombre good value for pizza nice safe environment for families , jazz bistro excellent for steaks, and just to note the Spar shop is open, entrance at front, I enjoy your video content, keep it going..

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Thank you and yes, I found out the Spar was open afterwards. Shame the manager doesn't keep that part looking better.

Hi Mike. Enjoyed the video, thank you. Can't wait to be back in September. Two wee points for you. The kebab shop is owned by The Pride of India and both do amazing food. Opens late so good for late arrivals. Where you looked over and there was an angle grinder going on just below where you were is another new place called the North Star Bar, they also do food. Opened just after we left last year so looking forward to trying it. Got a good reputation too.

[@potblack7951]

You are providing a very valuable service..thank you

[@nicholasflanagan372]

Pride of India ❤

[@sharoncarr7963]

Coming to PDC in September, not been to lanzarote for 20 years when my children were younger. Looking forward too it 😊

[@LanzaroteInformation]

You’ll have a great time here.

[@Kraviken]

Thank you. People always breeze through this place. Nice to see it some more detail.

[@anthonykavanagh1510]

Really good video

[@brianstanding2963]

Thank you Mike for another informative vlog!

[@nicklodge7770]

Another great and informative video. Sirocco is our go to place for a coffee and cake. Flistons has always been a good place to rent reasonably priced bikes from. A good friend always rated The Farm for good pies if you want one. Keep up the good work Mike.

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Thank you!

[@andybell7418]

Thanks for the video, perhaps you can continue the walk next time I would like to have seen what was further along.

[@Kraviken]

Check out VincePH. He has some videos on that part.

[@VINCEPH19]

Nice vide my friend😊😊😊

[@scottvardy4344]

Hi Mike ,we went to scirocco restaurant I had a steak which was nice and my wife had a pasta arriabrata which she said was the hottest in spice that she as ever had and she can eat hot food.Devon was the best food we had ,great video of some of Matargorda, it is a bit run down in parts like you said in the shopping centre.We hired bikes from flistons and had a great day out and went to Costa tequise and back.

[@karenallen7120]

The Spar is open and there's other nice food places round the back under Rockola x

[@RichFiler77]

Don't think that commercial centre looks that run down. The one in Playa Blanca by the harbour is worse I think.

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Yes, there are some in Carmen and Costa Teguise too that are probably worse.

[@nicholasflanagan372]

Hong Kong great food

[@daveburton5970]

great Chinese

[@suelong3273]

It looks as if they have smartened the place up now. Last year it didn't look too good.

[@nicholasflanagan372]

Great Indian and Chinese in here

[@daveburton5970]

The Spar is open, you were just looking at the side of the building.

[@LanzaroteInformation]

Yes. As others have commented. It's such a shame the manager doesn't keep the inside part looking as though the shop is actually open!

[@geraldinenulty6062]

Spar is open

[@LanzaroteInformation]

It is. I found out later. If only the manager there would out some work into the side that faces in.

[@PETERGRIFFIN21380]

Spar is currently closed now. Under refurbishment for 1 month (from 2 weeks ago) due to the store being extended. 👍🏻

[@clairemariesmith100]

Spar is open. La Roma was dreadful when we went.

[@daveburton5970]

Don't trust free standing ATM. That's all tourists have to use, can you elaborate?

[@LanzaroteInformation]

No. Anyone can use the ATMs in banks. That would be our advice - any problems we've heard about with cash withdrawals seem to have happened with the free standing ones, so we avoid them, and use one at the nearest bank.

[@daveburton5970]

@@LanzaroteInformation oh ok

[@sharongamble6379]

Is there a lift for access to upstairs?

[@LanzaroteInformation]

I don't know to be honest, but I would have thought there is. Will check and let you know.

[@daveburton5970]

No, but there are ramps, and it's accessible to mobility scooters etc
