Overview

Fuerteventura is an oasis in the Atlantic. White and luminous, the island extends its immense beaches of brilliant, golden sands alongside the turquoise of crystal-clear waters, which will make you feel as if you are in paradise. You can enjoy the sun and the sea in dream-like locations, where you can lose yourself and forget about the passing of time.

Known as the peaceful island, Fuerteventura, the second largest of the Canaries,offers you truly outstanding landscapes, such as the legendary Mount Tindaya, to which the native people used to attribute magic powers and which even today still conserves important remains of those inhabitants; or its undulating plains dotted with ancient mills for grinding `gofio´(flour made from toasted cereals), which is still today an essential ingredient of the island’s delicious cuisine.

Small coastal villages full of flavour and tradition display their most typical architectural styles including churches, chapels, castles and a network of museums. You can take a historical tour of this interesting island, which also boasts of its varied craftwork featuring openwork, basket-making, wood and clay.

This island, with thirteen protected natural spaces, shows off its exoticism with palm trees and tamarisks, and the much-appreciated aloe vera, with which traditional cosmetic products of great benefit to the skin are made.

Walk along pathways between exotic volcanic cones, or dive to underwater settings of indescribable beauty; or pit yourself against the wind and waves at windsurfing, a sport which finds the best possible conditions for holding the World Championships here each year.
