Fuerteventura, one of the islands of the Canary Islands, is a destination where desert landscapes mingle with sandy beaches, offering a striking contrast to the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean. The second largest island in the archipelago, it is renowned for its endless beaches, ancient volcanoes, charming villages and authentic atmosphere. The unspoilt and sparsely populated island is ideal for those who want to relax, explore and reconnect with nature.
One of the peculiarities of Fuerteventura is its exceptional climate. Benefiting from almost constant sunshine, the island is often nicknamed "the island of eternal spring". Temperatures typically range between 20 and 30°C throughout the year, making it a popular destination in winter, but also in summer thanks to the cooling winds that temper the hottest days. These regular winds also make Fuerteventura a privileged place for board sports.
Fuerteventura is best known for its beaches, which are among the most beautiful in Europe. The island is bordered by more than 150 km of golden or white sand, offering spectacular scenery. Some of the most famous beaches include:
Playa de Sotavento : a huge sandy beach in Costa Calma, ideal for swimming and long walks, but also for kitesurfing and windsurfing thanks to the constant winds.
Corralejo and its dunes : in the north of the island, the Corralejo Natural Park is home to golden dunes that extend to the sea. The beaches of Corralejo offer a unique setting, with views of the nearby island of Lobos.
Playa de Cofete : Located in the southwest, this wild and secluded beach is framed by volcanic mountains. Accessible via a challenging but scenic road, it offers a unique setting, perfect for nature lovers.
Fuerteventura stands out for its desert and volcanic landscapes, which give the island a unique and almost lunar character. Formed by ancient volcanic eruptions, the island features fascinating geological formations, dried lava plains, and arid mountains.
The Jandía Natural Park, in the south, offers hikes that lead to Pico de la Zarza, the highest point on the island, offering breathtaking views of the ocean and desert landscapes. Walking enthusiasts can also explore the many volcanic trails, which allow you to discover wild and uncrowded areas.
Thanks to the constant winds that blow over the island, Fuerteventura is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts. The north coast, especially around Corralejo, is very popular for surfing, while Sotavento beach is famous worldwide for kitesurfing and windsurfing. Every year, the island even hosts the Kitesurfing World Championship, attracting the best riders on the planet.
The island's clear, fish-filled waters also make it an excellent spot for scuba diving and snorkeling. Boat trips are offered to discover the seabed and observe the local fauna, including dolphins and rays.
Apart from the seaside resorts, Fuerteventura offers charming villages where you can experience the traditional way of life of the locals. Betancuria, the former capital of the island founded in the fifteenth century, is a picturesque village located in a remote valley. With its historic church and white houses, Betancuria is a great place to immerse yourself in the history of Fuerteventura.
Other villages such as La Oliva, Pájara, or Antigua are also worth a visit to discover the traditional architecture, the local markets, and taste the products of the region, such as the famous "queso majorero", a unique goat cheese.
Fuerteventura is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and many protected areas, such as the Jandía Natural Park or the islet of Lobos, preserve the local fauna and flora. The island is home to rare bird species, including the Temminck's Swift and the Kestrel. The waters surrounding the island are also rich in biodiversity, hosting many marine species, including dolphins, whales, and sea turtles.
Fuerteventura's gastronomy is another treasure of the island. The "queso majorero", local goat cheese, is often served as a tapa with a little honey or grilled. You can also enjoy dishes based on fresh fish, "papas arrugadas" potatoes accompanied by "mojo" (typical sauce), and desserts based on gofio, a toasted cereal flour typical of the Canary Islands.
The people of Fuerteventura are proud of their culture, and many traditional fiestas and festivals are celebrated throughout the year. The festivities in honour of the patron saints of the villages, with Canarian dances and music, allow visitors to discover the authentic soul of Fuerteventura.
With its endless beaches, volcanic landscapes, sporting activities and rich heritage, Fuerteventura is a complete destination for nature lovers, families, and adventurers. Whether you want to relax in the sun, explore exceptional natural sites, or try your hand at water sports, the island offers a unique and authentic experience.
