Summer holidays Fuerteventura
With mile upon mile of soft, white, sandy beaches washed by turquoise waters, summer holidays to Fuerteventura are a taste of paradise. Largely undeveloped, the island has the longest coastline of all the Canaries and a deserted interior with almost no vegetation, unsurprisingly, given that this is the driest island of the archipelago with less than 15cm (6in) of rain per year. Sun, sand and scenery are the main attractions of Fuerteventura, the second largest of the Canary Islands, located 60 miles from the coast of Africa.
Apart from splendid beaches, magnificent landscape and great weather, Fuerteventura also boasts a host of festivals and events, promising an unforgettable summer holiday for fun-loving holiday makers. Festivals, or fiestas, are an integral part of Canarian life. They are partly religious, with recreational and cultural activities taking place at the same time. The whole community joins in, either with the preparations or just by taking part and the exuberance is infectious.
Island fiestas are characterised by colourful processions, complete with donkey carts laden with sustenance for the forthcoming hours and are also available for both children and the elderly to hitch a ride when in need of a rest. The celebrations are accompanied by masses of eating and drinking, dancing and folk music.
Where to go
La Guirra
Attractive and scenic, La Guirra is a small town that has an authentic feel. With narrow streets and small tavernas, it is typically Spanish.
Las Huertas
A balmy, sunny sport, Las Huertas is in Las Palmas, the 9th largest city in Spain and the joint capital of the Canary Islands.
Corralejo
Of all the Fuerteventura resorts, Corralejo is certainly the liveliest and is surrounded by turquoise waters, desert-like sand dunes and golden beaches that stretch for almost 10km.
El Matorral
El Matorral is an area in the North of Fuerteventura close to the airport. The beach, Playa del Matorral is an ecological hotspot with a great variety of flora and fauna.
Morro del Jable
With a long line of natural white-sand beach, a modern promenade and picturesque old town and harbour, Morro del Jable is a popular destination.
Lajita
A small fishing village on the East coast of Fuerteventura, Latija is home to handful of excellent restaurants and the popular Oasis Park zoo.
