Fuerteventura
“Just 60 miles from Africa and with some of the best beaches this side of the Caribbean, Fuerteventura is a favourite place of pilgrimage for sun-worshippers.”
The second-largest Canary island after Tenerife, Fuerteventura likes its space. And so do its regular visitors. This is an island that has remained relatively undeveloped compared to its neighbours, despite becoming ever more popular with those looking for a relaxing sun-and-sea break. There are no high-rise resorts, no concrete jungles. Instead, it’s been designed sympathetically so you get more of an authentic Canaries experience. But that’s not to say it’s overly quiet and has got nothing going on. The capital, Puerto del Rosario, and the largest beach resort, Corralejo, are both quite lively, with bars, restaurants and clubs. However its Fuerteventura’s beaches that really steal the show. They’re arguably the best beaches in the Canaries. In fact, they wouldn’t look out of place in the Caribbean. We’re talking magnificent golden dunes that seem to just go on and on and on. The kind of beaches where finding a spot all to yourself just isn’t a problem. Check out the Parque Natural de las Dunas de Corralejo, where the dunes are at their best. Great beaches aside, Fuerteventura’s shores are really popular with watersports enthusiasts. The summer trade winds and winter Atlantic swells make it a surfer’s dream come true. And this place also delivers on the sightseeing front. For scenic theatrics, head inland to clap eyes on volcanic peaks and sweeping plains. Follow the hair-raising mountain road from Pajara to Betancuria for awesome views over the haunting lava-scapes.
Weather
The Canaries may be Spanish but they’re a long way from Spain. A thousand miles from Madrid and cast adrift in the Atlantic, they’re actually closer to the coast of Africa. And like Africa, they’re bathed in hot, hot sunshine. Dubbed the ‘Islands of Eternal Spring’, temperatures in the Canaries rarely fall below 20°C in the winter and 25°C in the summer. And Fuerteventura’s no exception. It’s the driest of the Canary Islands and enjoys a wonderfully warm climate. Average temperatures rarely fall below 21ºC, even in December and January, and in the summer it can get as hot as the early 30s. As for rain, you’d have to be very unlucky to see any significant amount. There are short bursts between October and March, particularly in the north of the island. Generally speaking though, it’s pretty much wall-to-wall sun, with well over 300 days a year and an average of 11 hours a day in summer. Mind you, it’s not unbearably hot. The trade winds coming off the sea tend to keep the air feeling comfortable.
