The Best Places of Fuerteventura


Corralejo: ancient fishing village with a modernised town centre. There is one main street with a handful of short side streets that contain the majority of Shops.They are actually doing some construction work right now on high street in order to make the sidewalk even nicer as the pedestrinas feel even better while they are taking a walk. Worthwhile visiting for Restaurants and Bars are the music square, Calle La Iglesia, Muelle Chico, Paseo Maritimo (all 3 in the old town), Shopping Centre La Menara and surroundings (Centre of town) and Shopping Centre El Campanario.

But there certainly are some more gems on other locations, too many to list. Just stroll around and discover them. There are beautiful beaches with plenty of sports and leisure possibilities. The dunes ( a national park) at the south of the town are world famous and are one of the must-see items of Fuerteventura. The island of Lobos can be visited to enjoy nature, tranquillity and the small beach. There are regular ferries to Lanzarote.

El Cotillo: old port from the 17th century that now is a tourist area, which results in a particular atmosphere. El Cotillo has beautiful beaches. There are 2 harbours, the old one is in the middle of the village where you have really good restaurants and the new one is at the south of the village, surrounded by restaurants. Please visit El Toston, the little fortress which occasionally houses art exhibitions by local artists. The south beaches are a hot spot for surf freaks and the north beaches, a series of pretty lagoons, are superb for families. Some beaches further up north are visited by nudists (sorry, no pictures available).

Lajares: village between Corralejo and El Cotillo that has a local lace production which can be visited. From here you can start your walk to the Volcano “Bayuyo”. There are a few food and drink spots.

Villaverde: small agricultural village with a local museum of ethnic art “Rosalinda”. There are some good restaurants.

La Oliva: Capital of the municipality “La Oliva” where you can visit the ancient military headquarters “Casa de los Coroneles”, an agricultural museum “Museo del Grano” and a nice church.
