  Fuerteveven-the oldest is the second largest and first, the first in terms closest to the African coast. The island is famous for its amazing clean beaches, tranquility and small number of local people. A wild paradise with dramatic volcanic landscapes allows you to fully relax in the bosom of nature. nine0003 Photo: Map of the island of Fuenteventura

  The capital of the island is Puerto del Rosario, next to which is the only airport in Fuerteventura. Recently, the island has been actively developing, so in the near future it may turn into a crowded resort.

  The climate of Fuerteventura allows not only sunbathing, but also swimming all year round, because even in winter the temperature does not fall below +20°C, and the fluctuations in water temperature are minimal – an average of +18-22°C. At the same time, the summer is not at all sultry with a temperature of + 27-30 ° C, and the breeze blowing on the island eliminates stuffiness. nine0003

  You can see the island in all its beauty in this video:

  The name Fuerteventura (fuerte – strong, el viento – wind) is associated with constantly blowing winds, which are caused by the absence of a natural barrier in the form of high mountains, of which there are very few on the island . For the same reason, there is almost no precipitation here – there are no peaks that would hold clouds.

  The pride of Fuerteventura is about 100 km of dazzling white beaches (Matorral, Marfolin) and 25 km of amazing black beaches (Gran Tarajal, Playa de Ajuy). There are also beaches for surfers, where strong winds do not stop blowing (La Pared, Corralejo), and on Sotavento beach, 30 km away, the world competition of windsurfers is held annually. The most picturesque beach of the island is Playa Cofete, where it seems that you are at the origins of the universe. nine0003

  The landscape of the island is very different from its neighbors – deserted, dramatic, in dark gray and brown tones, with craters and bare hills. But together with the white and black beaches, the azure sea, cacti and palm trees, this creates an unsurpassed ensemble. Looking at this splendor, you involuntarily indulge in dreams, and the vanity leaves the mind.

  A special charm of Fuerteventura is given by typical desert vegetation – agave, various succulents, aloe vera and date palms. The island is home to many species of birds, such as the vulture, the egret and the rare predatory osprey. The motley monarch butterfly also lives here. nine0037

Results for Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura has no parties and lush greenery, but it has no equal in terms of the number of magnificent beaches.

It is better to choose Castillo Caleta de Fuste, where the safest artificial beaches on the island are equipped.
