The Canary Islands are the kind of place where you feel you have stepped into a different world. Its unique archipelago geography, Atlantic location and history steeped in great legends and traditions set it aside from the rest of the country. Fuerteventura is one of the Canary Islands. Here are some of its must-see attractions:
El Cotillo
Nature decided to bless this place with one of the most impressive spectacles it can offer: sunset. There is no better beach from which to view the sun slipping behind the Atlantic horizon at dusk. It is a priceless gift, every single day.
Corralejo Dunes
Do you like walking? You’ll love walking on the sand dunes at Corralejo. The sand runs through your toes as if you were treading on the soul of Fuerteventura.
Jandía Beaches
These beaches can be summed up in two words: infinite and free. To which we can add the following images: turquoise waters, the gentle breeze and the peaceful splash of low waves.
Betancuria
Because Fuerteventura is not just about beaches and the sea. Four hundred years of Canary Islands history in one place: the first colonial Canarian city. Convents, churches, traditional Canarian homes… all in one place.
Gran Tarajal
Fresh majorero fish in an authentic environment. A place to enjoy the most traditional seafood cuisine. The best examples can be found in the coastal villages.
Isla de los Lobos
The turquoise water says it all. Bathing on the beaches at Isla de los Lobos is purifying for the soul. You really have to bathe here. As long as you can swim, of course!
The Magic Mountain of Tindaya
The old settlers of Fuerteventura believed this mountain to have magic properties. Strange foot-shaped engravings in the rock that point west, known as podomorphs, hint at the mountain’s enigmatic past.
Viewpoint Las Peñitas
After leaving behind the oldest village in the Canaries, the path continues as far as this scenic viewpoint, where visitors can enjoy panoramic views over the whole island. The oldest mountains in the archipelago.
Release of sea turtles in Cofete Beach
Several times a year, always during the summer months, something very special happens on the beaches of Cofete: the release of sea turtles. Everyone who is there to experience this feels an extraordinary connection with nature.
Lava tube, Llano Cave
This is a 648 meter-long lava tube located near Villaverde. Walking along one of its 500 meter-long forks, you reach the habitat of the only white arachnid in existence. An incredible adventure for everyone.
