Fuerteventura
Canary Islands - Spain
Wonderfully contrasting landscapes
With subtropical landscapes and luxurious vegetation, desert areas, vertiginous cliffs and golden beaches, the Canary Islands have everything to offer you. Lanzarote, the land of lava and fire, Fuerteventura, with its nod to the Sahara, Tenerife, dominated by its fascinating volcano and Grand Canaria, with multitudes of magnificent beaches… they are all quite different. But each one of them offers a dazzling sun and a mild climate which guarantees a successful seaside holiday for all ages.
Fuerteventura
With only 23 inhabitants per square km, Fuerteventura is the least populated of the Canary Islands. Thanks to its dry climate and an exceptional amount of sunshine, it is a paradise for swimming and water sports. The fine sand beaches which encircle it gently slope down towards the sea on all sides, thus guaranteeing pleasant seaside activities, even for the children. The seaside resorts of Playa de Jandía and de Corralejo offer very lively nightlife too.
To do
Enjoy the world championships of surfing, kitesurfing and windsurfing, sports practices as impressive as they are exciting, open to all at the end of the summer.
For those who love local products, don't miss a visit to a goat farm in the Canary Islands hinterland. Enjoy this local know-how with explanations, demonstrations and a tasting of these artisanal matured and semi-refined cheeses.
The ascent of the Hondo volcano, located in the north of the island, is a must. Put on your hiking boots to discover an arid and supernatural world via two possible routes.
Rent a 4x4 and go on a road trip along the FV-30 road in the hinterland, in the heart of a spectacular mountainous landscape.
To see
Aloe Vera: this emblematic plant of the Canary Islands, with many virtues, is cultivated in several farms installed inland. You will be able to visit the plantations, attend explanations with demonstration and acquire products based on aloe vera.
Nestled in the heart of the mountains and in the middle of a palm grove, Betancuria, the former capital of the island, is a small town with a unique charm. The authenticity of this place is found in its art museum, its church-cathedral and its pretty small flowery streets.
Take the height at the Mirador de Morro Velosa to admire a breathtaking view of the whole biosphere reserve of Fuerteventura.
End your day on the beach of Playa El Aljibe de La Cueva and wrap yourself in a soft note to capture the unique and magical moment of a beautiful sunset.
