Spain · Canary Islands · 10 m
Description
Fuerteventura is the oldest and second-largest of Spain's Canary Islands, renowned for its miles of golden and white-sand beaches, striking dune landscapes, and year-round mild climate. The island is home to iconic beaches such as Corralejo and Cofete, dramatic volcanic scenery, the historic former capital of Betancuria, and the crystal-clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Thanks to its steady trade winds, Fuerteventura is one of Europe's premier destinations for windsurfing and kitesurfing. Designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the island combines unspoiled nature, a relaxed atmosphere, and outstanding opportunities for both relaxation and outdoor adventure.
