I'm guessing that you are talking about getting to Playa Blanca from the Airport. If so, then it's a little tricky. You could get a Taxi as far the Biosfera Centre in Puerto del Carmen and a bus from there or get the number 22 or 23 bus to Arrecife and then a bus from Arrecife to Playa Blanca. http://www.arrecifebus.es/Otherwise you would be jaywalking along a particularly dangerous stretch of road to try to cross over to the other side at Playa Honda. In my opinion, the best option is to book an Airport transfer: http://www.discoverlanzarote.com/lanzar ... nsfers.asp

In a word NO. You will need to get a bus to the old town or Playa Honda to pick the bus to PB up.

I stay in Matagorda and I catch the number 2 from Matagorda to the Biosfera, and then the number 6 from the Biosfera to Playa Blanca.
Hope that helps

Hiya MM As Gilly says, the Biosfera is on the edge of the old and new town PDC; at the top of Calle Juan Carlos. Directly outside of the Biosfera you'll see some steps, just stand at the bottom of them, as that is where the buses pick up/drop off. The last time I was over there was a timetable on the wall just to the left of the steps. Just one little word of caution, as I'm unsure of "which" day you'll be taking a trip to PB ? The buses are quite regular in the weektime, but on a Sunday it's quite a limited service. It generally takes 35-45 minutes to get to PB, but its a lovely ride, plus there's some brilliant scenery. Hope this helps Mick

Sean seems to recall it being just under €3 return each when he went in the summer. That was from outside the biosphera to PB and back to biosphera.
Hope that helps
