Fuerteventura,
the island with the oldest history, has the longest beaches of all the
archipelago, of wonderful fine sand.
Only a narrow channel separates Fuerteventura from the African continent.
It is a paradise equally for spending holidays at the beach as for fishing.
There are great beaches even very close to the islands capital, Puerto
Rosario.
Puerto Rosario - lovely small capital
This picturesque small town with just 15.550 inhabitants shows us the
typical architecture of Canary Islands. The most representative building
of this style, anyhow, is to be found 23 kilometers from here, in La
Oliva: the Casa de los Coroneles, a manorial house of 18th century.
In the surroundings of Puerto Rosario splendid beaches invite you to have
a swim.
Betancuria
back to the roots
This town, named after French conquerer Bethencourt, is located in the
very center of the island. This land is particularly fertile, which may be
the reason why the island's original population, the Guanches, founded
their first important settlement here. In the town's Archaeological Museum
you can see highly interesting remains of this original civilization.
As well interesting is the artistically very valuable Cathedral, built in
1410, with beautiful works in Mudejar-style and painted choir-stalls of
the wood of the canarian pine.
Beaches of Jandia and Sotavento paradise for divers and friends of
nudism
Between Pajara and Jandia you will find an almost untouched beach of a
length of 6 kilometers.
Golden sand and crystalline sea, and a colorful world under water which
magically attracts divers. Just in front of the beach are cruising fishing-boats,
as great amounts of fish have to pass this narrow channel between the
island and Africa.
This beach is one of the less crowded of all the islands (parts of it are
not accessible by car), so also the friends of nudism feel particularly
well here.
Beach
of Corralejos crystalline sea
Corralejos is a pittoresque fishing-village in the very north of the
island. Fine sand and crystalline water make its beaches some of the most
beautiful of the archipelago.
Also the romantical village itsself is well worth a visit, and from here
you may have an excursion by boat to the nearby island Lobos.
Lobos Island the lonely paradise
Surprising but true. Just a few kilometers from the most modern complexes
of tourism, you find this lonely island, inhabited just by a handful of
fishermen. This is a really great place for all the "Robinson Crusoes"
among us. Lobos Island
