Whether you like your beach life slow and sedentary orquick and crazy, Fuerteventura caters for all. With the most glorious swathes of gold in thearchipelago – some would say in the whole of southern Europe – the island is a Mecca to bothsun worshippers and water sports professionals alike.

THE CITY

Shaped like a leg dressed in plus-fours, the 340-kilometre gilt-edged coast surrounds a relatively at interior ofgentle hills and sweeping plains. Goat herders andshermen once ruled the island, living a simple life ofrelative solitude. Nowadays, tourism is the driving force,centred around the lively resorts of Corralejo in the north,Jandía in the south, and more recently, Caleta de Fuste onthe east coast.

DO & SEE

In all, the young and trendy surf set mingle with second home-owners from the less balmy regions of Europe. Thelatter happy for blue skies and high temperatures, and theformer also seeking rolling waves and a rocking nightlife.

However, away from these visitor hubs the tranquillity of old is easy to nd, even on the beaches - with such aprofusion of broad sandy strips, towel space is never goingto be a problem.

Away from the shoreline, desolate roads lined with squat,

round windmills link tiny villages of sugar cube cottages.Here, the population ekes out an existence producingworld renowned cheese and ruby red tomatoes.

Isla de Lobos

These days, despite its name – Wolf Island – you will not spot any saucer-eyed wolf packs lounging on the beach ofthis tiny island. What you will get, if you make the3-kilometre ferry crossing, is that ‘get-away-from-it-all’feeling.
