The semi-desert Island of
Fuerteventura lies just under
100km off the coast of Africa
(near the border of Morocco and
Western Sahara). It enjoys a
near-perfect climate with
average monthly temperatures
ranging from 17°C in January to
25°C in August.
Fuerteventura is the longest
Island in the archipelago at
98km north to south and the
second-largest Canary Island
after Tenerife. The unforgiving
barren and arid interior of the
island shares much with it's
African neighbours of Morroco
and the Western Sahara including
sparse rainfall, rocky-desert
landscapes (the temperature of
these rocks can reach 67°C on a
hot day!) and simple flat-roofed
white-washed villages.
Fuerteventura is perhaps most
famous for it's beaches, with
over 50km of stunning white and
golden sand. Despite Tourism
being a relatively recent
phenomenon on the island, there
is a well developed
infrastructure with Golf
Courses, a Zoo, a Water Park and
numerous Marine Excursions. If
you fancy something a bit more
active, the Island offers great
Surfing, Windsurfing and Kite
Surfing as well as Big Game
Fishing and Diving.
If you just want to take it
easy, then those miles of white
sandy beaches make the perfect
getaway, even in peak season you
should be able to find a
relatively secluded spot for
yourself.
In short, there is plenty for
Families, Twenty-somethings and
Sports enthusiastes alike.
