Description

Nestled within the Canary Islands archipelago, Fuerteventura emerges as a tranquil oasis of diverse landscapes and sun-drenched shores. The island's 340 km gilt-edged coast surrounds a relatively flat interior of gentle hills and sweeping plains. The unique desert landscape and long-dead volcanoes are a sight to behold and earned the whole island the title of UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2009. Goat herders and fishermen once ruled the island, living a simple life of relative solitude. Nowadays, tourism is the driving force, centred around the lively resorts of Corralejo in the north, Jandía in the south, and more recently, Caleta de Fuste on the east coast.
