Featured Island - Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura is the closest Canary Island to the African mainland. It has the same barren/desert-like landscape as the Western Sahara Desert and some of the best beaches in Europe. There’s just 100km separating the ‘Punta de la Entallada’ from Cape Juby in Morroco.
Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Canary Islands and gets an astonishing 3000 hours of sunshine a year. The climate is more or less the same as Florida and Mexico, which are on the same latitude.
Fuerteventura is the oldest of the Canary Islands. It’s strange shapes and outlines come from various episodes in its volcanic past. Fuerteventura’s last eruption took place over 7,000 years ago so nowadays chances of mass volcanic eruptions disrupting your beach time are pretty slim.
The neighbouring island of Lanzarote is where to go to see some volcanic activity. It’s surreal reddish Mars-like landscape is fascinating - well worth a visit and just a short ferry ride away.
From Fuerteventura, you can also take a trip to the tiny island of Los Lobos. Located halfway between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, this popular little island is volcanic by nature and perfect for hiking and swimming. It’s the perfect getaway during the busy summer months.
Apart from the beach, there’s plenty of other things to do and see on the island. Some of the other attractions inviting you to discover different aspects of the Island’s landscape and culture include the Betancuria Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography and Tefia Craft Village.
Water sports
Fuerteventura is a wind, wave and kite surfer’s paradise.
This where they hold the P.W.A world windsurfing speed and slalom event. Every year hundreds of surfers come to witness this adrenaline-fuelled event, held in the south of the island at Sotavento. Scuba diving and snorkelling are also very popular here, with great visibility and warm, cosy waters all year round.
Beaches
Fuerteventura unquestionably has the best beaches in the Canary Islands. It’s home to many enormous sand dunes and some spectacular stretches of fine golden sandy beach with warm pristine turquoise waters.
There are over 150 beaches here, many of them remaining isolated all throughout the year. Even during the busy summer months, you’ll be able to find a secluded spot for yourself.
Even though it can often get very windy on the island, the Dunes of Corralejo for example, you’ll always be able to find a sheltered spot on the east coast. Morro Jable is normally very calm.
With all this, it’s no wonder Fuerteventura’s beaches are regarded as being the most impressive in Europe.
