Fuerteventura is a semi arid Island which like just 60 or so miles off the coast of Africa. The Islands of the Balearics are opposite the border of Morocco and the Western Sahara. For this reason Fuerteventura enjoys an incredibly good climate all year round. The temperatures range between 17 degrees centigrade to 30 degrees centigrade in the summer.

Tourism is relative new on Fuerteventura compared to the rest of the archipelago but there is a sophisticated and well established infrastructure in place. The Island offers very good golf courses, water parks, shopping areas and great restaurants and cafes. For something a little different you should try Kite surfing or wind surfing. Fuerteventura has brilliant conditions for having a go at either sport and also makes the perfect conditions for anyone who has had a go at either sport before. There is some of Europe’s best big game fishing and diving to be found around the Island many boats will take tourists on excursions to have a go at either.
Most travelers to Fuerteventura are there to enjoy the world class beaches although the island is less than 100 kilometers long it has over 50 kilometers of beautiful white and gold beaches. The huge volume of tourists during the summer means finding your own piece of space on the beaches can be difficult the best way to see more of the magical island of Fuerteventura and to discover a secluded cove or beach is to hire a car.
The Airport where it is best to pick up your hire car from is located right on the coast of Fuerteventura. The location makes for some pretty spectacular landings if you are on the right side of the plane. The airport handled 4.6 million customers last year a large proportion of these came from the UK. If you intend to hire a car when you are in Fuerteventura it’s best to pre-book on line in the UK before your holiday. Is safer to do this because of the high demand you will therefore have a vehicle ready and waiting for yo when you arrive. The airport is only 10 minutes from the popular tourist resort of Caleta de Fuste.
Once you have hired your car you will undoubtedly want to make the most of it, here are some destinations you should consider visiting.
There are a number of ports you can visit from which you will be able to take many trips. If you are not a competent diver there are some exciting trips to be had on glass bottomed boats or even submarines. The Subcat Submarine dives as deep as 30 meters just of the beautifully clear waters of Morro Jable. For something a little more traditional you can climb aboard the Pedra Sartaña this is a tall ship which sails from Morro Jable Harbour, you’ll be able to dive, swim, snorkel and enjoy the sunshine aboard this classic ship.
Make sure you hop in your hire car and take a trip to Betancuria; this town was the original capital and today is certainly the prettiest place on the Island. The picturesque whitewashed town is well worth a visit.
In the centre of the village is the 17th century Iglesia de Santa Maria which took almost a century to build after the previous church was destroyed by the Berber Pirate, Xaban de Arraez. Interestingly the original church on this site had the status of a Cathedral and was assigned a Bishop – who never arrived, testimony perhaps to the remoteness of the place. On the northern outskirts of the village is the roof-less ruin of a 15th century Franciscan Monastery, the Monasterio de San Buenaventura.
If you get fedup with food aimed at tourists which doesn’t feel particularly Spanish her you will find authentic fare in several very good local restaurants. I would suggest coming late in the afternoon to avoid the hottest part of the day and staying to enjoy a leisurely evening meal. |
