Fuerteventura

The second largest Canary Island, Fuerteventura is the Canary Island that lies closest to the African Coast so it shares a similar climate – hardly any rain and hot hot sun! Fuerteventura is regarded as the oldest Canary Island and is volcanic in origin with the last eruption occurring around 7,000 years ago!

Fuerteventura is known for its miles of beautiful beaches. If you’re a beach lover then Fuerteventura offers the perfect holiday for you and as you can get many last-minute cheap deals, there’s no excuse not to go! The beaches are overwhelming because of their sheer size and the way the azure ocean seems to stretch on forever. With white sands that you could stroll on all day long and the softly lapping waves, Fuerteventura beaches really are as close to paradise as you can get!

If the sea becomes too enticing for you to resist, then Fuerteventura offers every kind of water sport available! Every kind of surfing, diving and boat ride – the island even hosts wind surfing competitions in July!

There is a great deal to do in Fuerteventura that doesn’t involve the beach! Most hotels can arrange excursions to Fuerteventura’s attractions and they do it cheaper too! The Calderon Hondo Volcano merits a visit because it has a fascinating landscape that makes you feel as if you’ve taken a trip to the moon! Baku Water Park and Village has more than just wild slides and splashes galore! You can take a break from getting wet and try your hand at bowling or crazy golf – a day at the water park is a cheap, fun-filled day. Another attraction that Fuerteventura offers is the Zoo Safari - a must for animal and bird lovers!

Fuerteventura is not as lively as Tenerife where nightlife is concerned, with most people preferring to go for a meal, a cheap drink and then back to the hotel. That’s not to say that Fuerteventura goes to sleep with the sun! The island does have some clubs and quite a few bars which are worth a drink or two…or three! Most hotels offer a full entertainment programme though – which is almost unheard of anymore! So a better night is usually had within one hotel or another.

Fuerteventura has some top-notch nosh available and varied cuisine. There are a great deal of fish restaurants around as fish is readily available – cooked with a variety of sauces and in different way, make sure you have a look what’s on offer! As for hotels, most are relatively cheap but of excellent quality. It’s worth shopping around to find the best deal you can on hotels. Wherever you stay though, make sure it’s not too far away from Fuerteventura’s beautiful beaches!
