    Head out to the beaches at Papagayo

    You can get an intercity bus out to Playa Blanca and walk the rest of the way

    Depends what you mean or expect as a solo traveler. Should be little different to the previous times you where there.

    Depends on age range and preferences as well.

    I would suggest downloading the Couchsurfing app and input your trip dates.

    You can choose to setup hangouts or say that you are open to meeting and hanging out with others.

    If you are doing a particular experience or trip then put that in as well. You may find others willing to join.

    I spent a long weekend solo in Agadir earlier this year. Stayed in an all inclusive resort. Took taxis and walked to various markets, sites etc. Booked a quad bike trip for a morning. Enjoyed it so much I wished I had enough time to do the dune buggies too.

    Went to Barbados - did a 7hr tour around the island. Visited 2 of the famous Rum distilleries. Chilled out on the beaches. Drank cocktails, met people, did a submarine trip. Filmed a whole bunch of vlog stuff for YouTube that I haven't even edited yet.

    It's what you make of it.

    Been there both in groups and solo a few times. If you havent been to Timafaya national park on previous visit then should conside making a trip this year.

    Also rent a bike - even if you are not a cyclist you can avoid the hills if you head towards the airport. Stop for lunch/coffee etc. Nice way to explore the island. If you fancy a few hills head up behind PDC and cycle to one of the vineyards and have a glass of wine and its downhill all the way back
