4 Fuerteventura - An overview

Second edition 2019 - Up-to-date, detailed information, important useful insider tips and all highlights.

The Fuerteventura travel guide... a different kind of guide! takes you next to endlessly long, snow-white Caribbean beaches to the attractions of the multifaceted volcanic island.

In the north, from the largest and liveliest town Corralejo, explore the beautiful dunes, the small nature protected Isla Los Lobos, where the former lighthouse keeper runs a small restaurant, and enjoy the beautiful beaches of the Playas Grandes, which are especially suitable for water sports in the sections Flag Beach, Playa Bajo Negro, Playa Moro and Playa Poris.

In the northwest, visit the fishing village of El Cotillo, which protects the coast from intruders with its centuries-old defensive tower, the Castillo de Testón.

Look from the coast to the long beaches of Playa del Castillo, where kite- and bodysurfers meet.

Make a detour to the lighthouse Faro de Tostón with the fishing museum and don't miss the yet unknown popcorn beach.

Visit the historic town of La Oliva, whose monuments include the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria, the Ermita de Puerto Rico, the impressive Casa del Coroneles, the dilapidated Casa del Inglés and the former La Cilla granary, dating back to the 17th century. Art lovers can admire the works of well over 80 artists in the spacious Casa Mané.

In Tindaya, in the Casa Alta de Tindaya, marvel at the unique rock carvings of the Guanches, the native inhabitants of the Canary Islands.

Discover the monument to the poet Unamuno and taste the goat's cheese at the Quesos de Tindaya cheese dairy.

Immerse yourself in the traditional rural life of the island at the Ecomuseo de La Alcogida open-air museum in Tefía and acquire genuine local handicrafts.

In the little-visited village of Tetír, next to the listed parish church of Santo Domingo de Guzman, you will find the Gofio Museum, run by the last active Gofio miller in the world.

In the island capital Puerto del Rosario, Fuerteventura's largest shopping centre, Las Rotondas, awaits you by offering extensive shopping in specialist shops.

Explore the centre with the Nuestra Señora del Rosario parish church, the Casa Museo Unamuno museum, buy fresh local produce in the Mercado Municipal or the Mercado Agrario de Fuerteventura.

Treat yourself to a sunbath at the city beach Playa Chica or at the main beach Playa Blanca.

In the large popular holiday resort Caleta de Fustes you can enjoy the view of the marina from the gently sloping sandy beach, Playa de Castillo.

Along the long promenade, past historic lime kilns, you reach the shopping centre Centro Comercial Atlantico.

In addition, the popular African market offers further shopping opportunities.

Explore the Salinas del Carmen, the historic saltworks with the Museo de La Sal, where salt was still extracted in the 1980s for the fish factory in Puerto del Rosario.

In the centre of Fuerteventura you will meet even more island history: During a guided tour through La Ampuyenta you will see the small but impressive Ermita de San Pedro de Alcántara and learn all the details in the house, the Casa Museo Dr. Mena and the hermitage of Fray Andresito.

In sleepy Antigua, go to the windmill, the Molino de Antigua, with its interesting cheese museum, the Museo de Queso de Majoro.

You should definitely stop in Tuineje to see the altarpieces of the battle of Tamasite in the church of San Miguel Arcángel, which show the battle won by the islanders against the English.

In Pájara, visit the impressive Nuestra Señora de la Regla parish church, in front of which there is a Noria, a restored waterwheel driven by a donkey.

Drive to the rugged coast of Ajuy with the deep black beach of the dead, Playa de los Muertos, and explore the lime kilns along the sea cliffs, as well as the deep caves, the Cuevas, which served as pirate hiding places.

In the former island capital Betancuria you should visit the church Nuestra Señora de la Concepción with the attached museum of sacral art and the monastery ruins of the Convento de San Buenaventura with the Ermita San Diego.

Look from the 645 m high vantage point, the Mirador de Morro Velosa, onto the desert-like landscape of the island.

You must make Selfies at the Mirador de Guise y Ayose, the 4.50 m high statues of the former kings who ruled over the island.

If you want to see how old windmills work on the island, you can do so in the small museum, the Centro de Interpretación de Molinos in Tiscamanita. During a detour to the Quesos de Belido cheese dairy, you will even come across filled gofio biscuits.

Cross the impassable Malpais of the aborigines, interspersed with boulders and lava stones, and turn back time in the stone-built settlement of La Atalayita.

If you meet on the east coast the large holiday settlement Las Playitas, with a dark, fine sandy beach, you must in any case approach the unique lighthouse, the Faro Punta de la Entallada.

In Gran Tarajal, on the fine sandy dark beach, you will meet locals who live here and work in hotels.

In Tarajalejo you meet an almost German enclave with an R2 hotel and apartments, which leads along a long promenade with a dark pebble beach. Worth mentioning are the new 5 sculptures of the Mareseum, which represent the interpretation "the sea and all that it constitutes and conveys".

You should definitely spend a nice day in La Lajita in the huge Oasis Park, where children will also get their money's worth thanks to the impressive shows.

Let yourself be impressed by the unique contrast of a barren mountain landscape and a miniature Sahara: Experience in La Pared at the narrowest point of the island, the Istmo de la Pared, a rough coast with beautiful bays, look north at the large rock gate, or face the waves of the Atlantic Ocean at the Playa de Viejo Rey. Don't miss the La Pastora cheese dairy, which offers goat's milk liqueur as well as sheep's and goat's cheese.

Feel at home on the Costa Calma, which is preferred by German holidaymakers, but with a beautiful beach location and sun guarantee. Shop in the shopping centres, stroll through the African market or enjoy tapas and the typical German cuisine with a freshly tapped Pilsner.

An absolute must is the more than 20 km long beach section that starts after the Costa Calma, leads over Jandía Playa and ends in the former fishing village Morro Jable.

Take a break at the snow-white beach with crystal-clear turquoise sea, and let your soul simply dangle.

From the Playa de Sotavento to the Risco del Paso you will also get your money's worth thanks to the René Egli Wind- and Kite- Surf Center, from beginners to professionals.

In the south of Fuerteventura you can swim in the beautiful bays of the Playa de Butihondo and the Playa de Esquinzo and continue endless relaxing beach walks to the south of the island to Morro Jable.

Relax at the Playas de Jandía, go shopping on the long shopping promenade in Jandía and enjoy the most beautiful stretch of beach, Playa del Matorral, which is particularly suitable for children.

From the harbour town of Morro Jable, head for the southern tip of Fuerteventura. Reach the sleepy village of Puerto de la Cruz with the lighthouse Faro de Jandía via jerky volcanic tracks.

Take the serpentines to Cofete and the endlessly long Playa de Barlovento with its incredible surf, and visit the historic Villa Winter, where the rumour kitchen is boiling.
