Only 60 miles (100km)
separates the island of Fuerteventura, second
largest in the Canary archipelago, from the continent
of Africa, and this sunny island shares the same
latitude (and therefore weather conditions) with
the renowned holiday destinations of Florida and
Mexico.
Unlike those bustling
resort-ridden vacation stations, though, Fuerteventura
is relatively undiscovered, its more than 150
idyllic sandy beaches only sparsely populated
and many seldom visited at all. The island has
an arid volcanic landscape, and apart from the
beaches, not much to recommend it in the way of
tourist amenities or attractions.This
has kept the mega resorts and mass summer package
holiday trade at bay, but it does have a fair
share of day-trippers from the resorts of Lanzarote
and Gran Canaria who come seeking a respite from
the crowds.
The island’s
own two main resort towns are Corralejo and Caleta
del Fuste. Fuerteventura is easily accessible
from the other islands in the archipelago by ferry
or air. The airport is situated close to the island’s
capital of Puerto del Rosario.
