Sports lovers will have a ball on this island that combines desert and sea. There are more than 90 miles of beaches to surf, windsurf or kitesurf, as well as to explore underwater.
Fuerteventura holidays are always packed with adventure: hire a car to travel the 60 square miles of the second-largest island in the Canarian archipelago and discover the best corners of the six municipalities: Puerto del Rosario, Betancuria, Antigua, Tuineje, Pájara and La Oliva.
Explore the Corralejo Nature Reserve with its 2,600 hectares of white sandy dunes beside the bluest of seas. From Corralejo, you can make out Islote de Lobos and catch a glimpse of the volcanoes of Lanzarote in the distance. As the sun drops, make sure to arrive on time to see the sun set at Playa de Cofete in the south of the island.
Stroll through the main square of Betancuria and visit the Ajuy caves, in Pájara. Head towards Antigua and take a break in the capital, Puerto del Rosario. Enjoy a seaside meal at Caleta de Fuste, a tourist spot that still holds that Canarian charm, and sample Majorero Denomination of Origin cheese.
Don't miss the views from Mirador de Morro Velosa, from where you can make out the north half of the island, and stop off to discover the wreck of the American Star transatlantic liner, which ran aground in 1994.
