The oldest Canary Island is Fuerteventura. The island is located about 100 kilometers off the African mainland in the Atlantic Ocean and is not only very popular with windsurfers and kite surfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Spanish island is a about 100 kilometers long, about 30 kilometers wide and like its neighboring islands of volcanic origin. In the north of the island there are mountains up to 700 meters high, the highest elevation of the island is 807 meters high in the south on the peninsula Jand\u00eda. It is noticeable that the island has no elevation in the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dunas de Corralejo Nature Park is known for its impressive sand dunes that rise directly from the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic. This protected area is a habitat for many plant and bird species. In the Parque Natural de Jand\u00eda in the south of the island, holidaymakers can experience an impressive variety of flora and fauna, including rare plant species and wild goats. Hikers and nature lovers can explore the volcanic mountains on marked trails and enjoy breathtaking views from the peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Fuerteventura<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fuerteventura is known for its extensive white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. Places like Corralejo and Costa Calma are ideal for sun worshippers and water sports enthusiasts. Surfers, kitesurfers and windsurfers often come to the island because of the ideal wind conditions and excellent waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuerteventura offers a varied culinary landscape that is strongly influenced by its island location and Spanish culture. Fresh seafood is a speciality of the island, including fish varieties such as dorada (sea bream), cherne (grouper) and the regionally popular vieja (parrotfish). These are often grilled and served with “papas arrugadas” (small potatoes boiled in salt) and “mojo” sauces, a typical Canarian seasoning sauce that comes in green (with coriander or parsley) and red (with red peppers and chilli) varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to seafood, Fuerteventura offers a selection of goat’s cheese, which is very popular on the island and is used in many traditional dishes. Cheese production is an important part of local agriculture, and Fuerteventura’s goat’s cheese is known for its creamy flavour and high quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I think back to our time on Fuerteventura, pretty much the only things that come to mind are the beach and the sun. Back then we did relatively little on the island, but sometimes you just need to be lazy. There is one excursion though that I remember well.<\/p>\n <\/div >\n \n \n Faro de la Entallada   →<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>

Fuerteventura visitors should not pass up the opportunity to see the saline near Caleta de Fuste.
