Tourism in Fuerteventura with ABCanarias Tourist Guide. The best places to
visit. Let's go for a walk through the most interesting tourist spots in Fuerteventura.
You know what?
Fuerteventura is the most arid and deserted part of the Canary Islands.
It's amazing how different it is from the other islands, you'd think you
were in the Sahara Desert!
It's not, but it could be! It's a little more than 200 km. across the island.
Fuerteventura is a true desert. You'll enjoy it here. It's like nowhere else;
heavenly, solitary, endless white-sand beaches, the constant sun and the turquoise
blue of the sea. Fuerteventura looks like a special place designed to enjoy
the sun and the beach.
Dunes everywhere!
The sand is white and delicate, and covers most of the shores. Like its sister
islands, it is of volcanic origin, so you have all the components: beaches,
dunes and volcanoes.
What are the most interesting places on the island?
The Corralejo Dunes Natural Park located in the north. It has great expanses
of dunes and white beaches of Jable sand, forming a nice contrast with the
turquoise blue of the sky and the clear water of the sea.
Very near, to the east of Corralejo, is Lobos Island, a small island, with
a population of one - the lighthouse keeper. If you like diving don't miss
this place, it's one of the best spots in the Canaries to practise your amazing
sport.
The tourist area is on the southern tip, Jandía. Most of the accommodations
on the island can be found here. Get absolutely lost from humanity; go to
the beaches around this area: Sotavento, Barlovento, Cofete... and disappear!
...they're huge, white, quiet, nobody around for miles!
I see you like Fuerteventura's beaches!
Yes, that's right! You'll love them too. But if you want something more traditional
visit Antigua, Tuineje and Betancuria where you can find relics from the English
and Berber pirate attacks: towers, fortresses, castles, etc. You can also
visit the volcanoes, such as Tindaya.
Fuerteventura is also a true paradise for beach lovers and windsurfers. Don't
miss it!
