Fuerteventura – guide

Accommodation

Just like on other islands, making an individual reservation in one of the seaside resorts is almost a miracle. Persons, who would like to stay there, should use the services of tour operators (often a hotel with a flight is cheaper than a flight booked on its own). Individual tourists are saved by hotels and guesthouses in the attractive Puerto del Rosario and agritourism accommodation in the highlands (www.ecoturismocanarias.com).

Just like on other islands, camping outside the designated area is prohibited. There is one legal campsite on the island in Tarajalejo, besides, camping areas have been designated (there are no amenities other than chemical toilets), managed by the local government. One of the most popular places is Cofete on the Jandla Peninsula – to be able to take advantage of it, you need to contact the department for. environmental protection in Puerto del Rosario (928852106) and pay 60 € refundable deposit.

Gastronomy

In the past, the kitchen of a windy and desert island was much poorer for obvious reasons. Currently, the dishes served in Fuerteventura are no different from those served on the neighboring islands, although of course, you can try delicacies here, which are not to be found elsewhere. There are apparently more goats than people on the island, and the goat is the main ingredient of local cuisine. It is worth trying such dishes, fried baifo jak (fried kid) oraz old-fashioned goat (goat in a thick tomato sauce with olives and almonds). Fish lovers will be satisfied with the manno ranch (thick fish soup with saffron, white wine and pasta) and the dish is blowing en caldo de mojo (fish in garlic and herbal broth, served with potatoes). The delicate white cheese is a must-try, I urge more, which has been taking first places in international competitions for many years.

Leisure with children

Fuerteventura is a very good place for a family holiday. The beaches are safe, and resorts quieter than in nearby Gran Canaria. Though there are fewer human-made attractions, nobody will be bored in Fuerteventura. You can spend time pleasantly in the Baku water park and in the Oasis Park, where wild animals live, and also a camel ride. Fun with exploring the island can be combined in such places, jak Las Alcavaneras Farm and La Rosita Museum, where the famous goat cheese is made on a farm. Much entertainment is provided by the sea. In addition to learning windsurfing, you can go on a boat trip, catamarans, and even a submarine or a pirate frigate.

Active recreation

Of course, the sea provides the most attractions. Windy Fuerteventura is a surfing paradise, windsurfing and kitesurfing – persons, which take their first steps in these disciplines, can use the services of one of the many schools, which were built in seaside resorts. Diving and water scooter madness are also very popular. You can spend a nice afternoon on a boat or catamaran cruise. Special cruises are also organized for fishing enthusiasts.

There are also many attractions on land - the island can be visited while hiking and on bikes, and in the version that provides a little more adrenaline, na quadach i buggy. There are two 18-touch golf courses on the dry island especially for tourists.
