The Best Places to Visit in Fuerteventura
Corralejo Natural Park
- Corralejo Natural Park is one of Fuerteventura's must-see attractions. It's easy to find because it's in the island's north, right adjacent to the same-named town.
- This park, which spans 2,600 hectares and includes 5 kilometres of shoreline, has been protected since 1994.
- It is known for its magnificent dunes, which were generated by the powerful winds that batter the island and make up the most excellent dune system in the Canary Islands and its white sand and crystal clear waters.
- The Red Mountain, located in the park's southern section, offers unrivalled panoramic views. In Corralejo, you can view endangered birds like the Hubara, as the park is home to the largest colony of this species.
- If you come to Corralejo by ferry from Lanzarote, as we did, you must see this place because it is the most excellent place to visit in Fuerteventura.
Morro Jable
- Morro Jable is undoubtedly another popular destination if you're seeking nightlife and things to do on Fuerteventura.
- It is a vast space for tourism in Fuerteventura since it is the most populated town in the municipality of Pájara, to the south of the Janda peninsula, and German tourists come here in particular.
- In addition to its fantastic beaches, which I shall describe later, Morro Jable is known for its sea walk, which features the "Fobos" sculpture by Lanzarote's famed artist César Manrique.
- Furthermore, visit the island on the final Friday in September. You can participate in "The Volcanoes Night," a popular event in Morro Jable held simultaneously in other world areas to raise awareness of volcanic research.
El Matorral Beach
- The Matorral beach is another of Fuerteventura's gorgeous fine white sand beaches.
- Many people refer to Matorral beach as Morro Jable beach because it is close to town, Solana beach because of the salt flats, or Janda beach on this peninsula.
- The Matorral lighthouse, located in the heart of this sprawling beach, marks the northern boundary of the nudist zone.
- Visiting the salt flats, which are right here, if you enjoy watching seabirds, which is one of the greatest pastimes on Fuerteventura.
- Morro Jable grew dramatically in the mid-20th century due to the Saladar de Janda's successful exploitation, making it an intriguing destination to visit in Fuerteventura.
Calderon Hondo volcano
- You wouldn't be able to enjoy a paradise-like Fuerteventura or Isla de Lobos if it weren't for the Calderón Hondo volcano and the rest of the volcanic cones north of the island.
- This islet developed due to volcanic activity, and Fuerteventura extended north about 50,000 years ago.
- Hike the 3-mile circular walk that begins and ends in Lajares, the municipality of La Oliva, to see the volcano's crater, which is beautifully maintained.
- The moderately challenging course, which has a 525-foot elevation rise, will take you around an hour to complete. This tour can also be booked as a guided hike.
- You'll get a great view of the north of Fuerteventura and the south of Lanzarote from the top of the crater, and you'll be able to see the lava fields generated by the eruptions of this series of volcanoes.
- If you enjoy trekking, a trip to this volcano is a must-do in Fuerteventura.
Cofete
- Cofete is one of Fuerteventura's most excellent beaches.
- This undeveloped sandy beach has grown to be one of the most popular in the Canary Islands, making it a must-see in Fuerteventura.
- The road to Cofete is in terrible condition and passes through the Janda mountain range, Fuerteventura's highest peaks, at almost 2,600 feet.
- Remember that the road down to the beach is relatively narrow and runs along the cliff's edge, so we'll hire this 4x4 excursion next time.
- Three miles north of the parking lot is the Seven Widows Islet, which can reach on foot.
- This islet borders Janda's Barlovento beach, Cofete's most remote region, which can only run on foot from Cofete or through the Degollada de Pecenescal route.
- Roque Del Moro, a massive boulder amid the sea, is 2 kilometres south of the parking lot.
- The best in Fuerteventura, Cofete is the place to go if you'd rather discover sea life in the natural pools in the rocks than enjoy the fine beach there.

Costa Calma
- Costa Calma is roughly a 30-minute drive south of the airport on the southeast coast.
- German tourists frequently visit it, but it also attracts travellers from other countries.
- The coastline is stunning and stretches for miles to Morro Jable in the south.
- It's a tiny, peaceful resort. Although there are a few bars, they are primarily bars/restaurants in its commercial districts. There isn't a primary strip of pubs and shops like other cities.
- Many travellers choose to stay in one of the major hotels along the beach.
- The majority of family hotels offer a variety of activities for children. The zoo of Fuerteventura, Oasis Park, is not far away.
Esquinzo
- Fuerteventura's most southerly resort region is about an hour from the airport.
- The beaches, which stretch from Esquinzo to Morro Jable, are breathtaking, with white sand and a turquoise sea.
- If you enjoy staying in large, all-inclusive hotels, this is perhaps the best spot in Fuerteventura.
- The village of Morro Jable has a pleasant Spanish feel, with various decent shops, pubs, and restaurants.

- Along the beach road in the tourist area, where most of the hotels are located, are stores, bars, and restaurants.
El Cotillo
- El Cotillo, located on Fuerteventura, is one of the most picturesque coastal communities in the Canary Islands.
- But most tourists don't know about it. It's beautiful coves of white sand, lovely community with excellent restaurants, and fantastic beaches for surfing are just a few of its charms.
- Of course, it also offers historical monuments for those more interested in the cultural aspects.
- El Cotillo is a charming, sleepy little fishing village that is less busy than Corralejo's significant tourist destinations.
- El Cotillo is an excellent area to stay in, Fuerteventura, if you prefer something calmer because of this.
- It's best for a relaxing holiday for couples of all ages, with beautiful beaches that include calm and safe for swimming (even for children).

Fuerteventura: Food, Fun & Fashion Guide
Papas Arrugadas
#Food
- Papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), traditional Canarian cuisine and a delectable snack in Fuerteventura are starchy and addictive appetiser or side dish that has gained widespread acclaim throughout Spain.
- The secret is to cook the little potatoes in salted water while leaving the peel on.
- The potatoes are then cooked in the oven until nicely wrinkled and incredibly tender.
- They are served with mojo picón, the future star of Canarian cuisine.
Mojo Picón
#Food
- The distinctive sauce of Fuerteventura and the rest of the Canary Islands is called mojo picón or just mojo.
- This adaptable sauce tastes delicious on just about anything and goes well with papas, arrugadas, meats, and veggies.
- Olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, and vinegar are used to make it.
Puchero Canario
#Food
- People often say, "Let's go to the Puchero Canario," because it has generally become a well-known occasion for eating out, not only in Tenerife.
- It's a dish whose history predates the final Saturday in January 1979.
- That was the first time a woman living beside the cattle fairground in La Florida's palm trees invited the livestock herders to lunch.
- Additional tradespeople and neighbours did the same, and many of the latter group immediately began to assist.
Majorero Cheese
#Food
- To find out where this cheese came from, we must go back thousands of years to the time when native people lived in Maxorata, then known as Fuerteventura.
- This is where the term "majorero," used to designate the island's residents and later the name given to our most well-known cheese, originates.
- Alternately, the term may derive from the name of the'majoreras' sandals that local shepherds used in the past.
- At that time, the Canary Islands already had a long history of goat rearing, but this was especially true of the vast island of Fuerteventura.
- Since there were so many goats on the island, the natives had access to goat milk, an excellent raw material used to manufacture this delicious cheese.
Gofio
#Food
- Gofio is a pulverised cornmeal that can cook in various ways and is more of an ingredient than a dish.
- Serve it with fresh island fish and a delectable sauce or sweet with condensed milk or fruit. Most people loved or hated it, but it's worth trying on your next trip to Fuerteventura.
- Gofio is toasted at different intensities based on the miller's and the consumers' tastes.
- The outcome is a Canarian superfood that is distinctive and special each time it is made. We should also emphasise how traditional it is.
- In fact, at the end of the 20th century, the stones that the indigenous people had used to produce gofio in rural areas were still in use.
- Whatever the case, there were other mills with larger stones run by water or animals and later by diesel and electricity.
- Gofio continues to rule kitchens and the hearts of those who try it, even though the preparation method has changed over time.
Komodo
#Fashion
- Komodo, a delightful boutique in Corralejo with a wealth of intriguing things on show, including crafts, jewellery, apparel, shoes, and bags full of colour and island flavour, is located on a small side street.
- If you're shopping for souvenirs, the furniture collection has a variety of lamps, bowls, lighting, and accessories.
- It's uncommon to walk out of Komodo without something, so even if you don't mean to buy anything, you'll certainly indulge in the reasonably priced items that line the shelves.
Morro Jable
#Fashion
- In the south of Fuerteventura, proceed to Morro Jable's main street, where most tourists congregate for their daily dose of retail therapy.
- Clothing, perfume, and jewellery shops line the streets, with Chinese bazaars strewn about if you're looking for souvenirs.
- Take a stroll to the old part of town, where the residents shop for fresh produce and traditional ingredients if you're looking for the best local food.
Baku Water Park
#Fun
- Baku Water Park, the island's only water park, is a relatively new addition to the amusement landscape in Fuerteventura, having opened in 2004.
- It is located in the southern Corralejo district. The Baku Water Park is a large complex that offers a variety of attractions, including a lazy river, an exciting wave pool, tenpin bowling, miniature golf, a driving range, landscaped gardens, sunbeds, restaurants, and a variety of gift shops.
- It is popular with families and visitors staying in Fuerteventura.

- The zoo, located on the eastern side of the island in the picturesque seaside village of La Lajita, is known as the Camel Oasis (Oasis de Los Camellos) since it has Europe's largest camel sanctuary.
- There are regularly camel rides and monkeys, giraffes, zebras, hippos, sea lions, crocodiles, birds of prey, and parrot performances at the zoo.

Fuerteventura Must-Attend Festivals and Events
- Between February and March, just before Lent, Fuerteventura gives in to colour, glitter, costumes, street musicians, troupes, and unending pleasure for as long as people's bodies allow it.
- Although Carnival is celebrated in every corner of the island and everyone is free to join in the fun, Antigua, Tuineje, Betancuria, Pájara, and Puerto del Rosario (the island's capital) have the most Carnival events.
- The event lasts ten days in the latter, with Ash Wednesday and the Burial of the Sardine marking the beginning and end.
- One of the main activities of the Fuerteventura Carnival is the election of the Carnival Queen. The majority of the inhabitants attend the Great Carnival Coso procession, which has innovative floats partnered with bands and troupes that play music and promote joy.
- The satire inspired by political and current issues is featured in the competition of street musician bands for kids and adults.
- The village of La Oliva holds a festival on the 2nd of February to honour Our Lady of La Candelaria, the patron saint of the Canary Islands.
- Although the most famous image of Our Lady of La Candelaria comes from the nineteenth century and is located in the Tenerife town of the same name, the people of Fuerteventura's La Oliva are happy to have a late fifteenth-century statue of this Black Madonna.
- It is, in reality, one of the Canary Islands' oldest Christian icons.
- La Oliva honours its patron saint with various festivities that include street performers, music festivals, open-air dances, and religious performances, including a procession through town carrying the gorgeously decked Virgin.
- Antigua is known for a variety of things, including handicrafts. It even boasts a handicrafts centre set in a historic mill and is well worth visiting.
- The municipality organises the Insular Artisan Fair in the first half of May, which is hosted in an 8,500-meter area and attracts over 20,000 visitors.
- Woodworking, fake jewellery, and leather goods with an original, indigenous touch are on display and for sale.
- The celebrations honouring Our Lady of Regla will take place in Pájara on the 2nd of June. Since the previous week, residents have been dedicating themselves to the event, which features many activities for people of all ages.
- The primary event is the religious pilgrimage, which begins at the remarkable seventeenth-century hermitage where the picture is kept.
- It continues across the municipality, with residents dressed in traditional attire and escorted by carriages.
- On the 14th of July, the celebration of Saint Bonaventure, Betancuria's patron saint, occurs.
- The island's oldest festival was made official by Diego de Herrera in 1456 when local aborigine opposition was deemed to be under the power of Castilian colonists.
- The parade in honour of the patron saint is particularly intriguing since it includes rondalla serenade ensembles, which lend a pleasing musical element to the proceedings.
