Fuerteventura flights and travel guide

The second largest island in the Canary archipelago, Fuerteventura has as much to offer as the more visited Canary Islands, but a great boon that they don't: a little less people and a lot more peace and quiet. Fuerteventura is still relatively undiscovered by mainstream tourism so the island’s beaches are sparsely populated and there isn’t as much in the way of tourist attractions. However, if you’re looking for a holiday spent doing just about nothing in the sun and relaxing under the stars at night, Fuerteventura is the place to visit.

Fuerteventura Insider Information

• On the northern part of the island is the village of La Oliva, once home to military governors. Visit Casa des Coroneles, a restored townhouse then walk over to the church in the middle of the village where you’ll find a Juan de Miranda Baroque-style painting.
• Spend the day at the La Lajita Oasis Park located in the town of La Lajita. Among the many attractions is the Camel Safari where kids (and adults) can take a trip to the top of the mountain and the Botanical Gardens, one of the biggest in Europe.
• Take a trip back in time by visiting Tefia. This small village to the south of La Oliva is home to Fuerteventura’s peasant lodgings and Ecomuseo de la Alcogida, an open-air museum which has been modeled on an old Canarian village. Throughout the museum’s seven houses are exhibitions of traditional farm work including carpentry and cheese making. The museum also holds educational workshops demonstrating how pottery, weaving and stone cutting were done in the past.
• Some of the best beaches in Europe are in Fuerteventura. Jandia in the south is best known for its flat beaches while Corralejo in the north is blessed with curvaceous sand dunes. Don’t be surprised if you see people walking around in their birthday suits instead of bathing suits, nudity is widely accepted on the island.
• Most of the island’s lively cafes, restaurants and shops are scattered around the harbor in Puerto del Rosario. While there, take a break from shopping and pop into the home of exiled poet Miguel de Unamuno.
