You know what? ...
Fuerteventura is the most arid and deserted land in the Canary
Islands.
It's amazing how different it is from the other
islands, you'd think you were in the Sahara Desert!
It's not, but it could be! The Sahara is a little
more than 200 km. from the Island. Fuerteventura is a true desert.
You'll enjoy it. It's like nowhere else; heavenly, solitary, endless
white-sand beaches, the never-ending sun and the turquoise blue
of the sea. Fuerteventura is a special place designed for enjoyment.
Dunes everywhere!
The sand is fine and white, and covers most of the
shore. Like its sister islands, it's of volcanic origin, so you
have all the elements: beaches, dunes and volcanoes.
What are the most interesting places on the
Island?
The Corralejo Dunes Natural Park is located in
the north. There are wide areas of dunes and white beaches of Jable
sand, forming a nice contrast with the turquoise blue of the sky
and the clear water of the sea.
Very near to the east of Corralejo, is the Lobos
Island, a small island with a population of one - the lighthouse
keeper! If you like diving don't miss this place, it's one of the
best spots in the Canaries to let loose.
The tourist area is Jandía on the southern
tip. Most of the accommodations are here. Get absolutely lost from
humanity; go to the beaches in Sotavento, Barlovento, Cofete...
and just disappear! ...they're huge, white, quiet, you'll see nobody
for kilometres.
I see you like Fuerteventura beaches!
Yes, that's right! You'll love them too. But if you
want something more traditional, visit Antigua, Tuineje and Betancuria,
where you'll find the remains of the English and Berber pirate raids
- towers, fortresses, castles, etc. You can also visit the volcanoes
such as Tindaya. Fuerteventura is a true paradise for beach lovers
and windsurfers. Don't miss it!
