The Canary Islands are one of the most popular destinations for British holidaymakers and it isn’t difficult to see why. Although Spanish, the close proximity to the North African Coast of these Atlantic islands gives them amazing year round sunshine and cultural influences that are more than a little exotic. Fuerteventura the second largest of the islands although developed in places has a wild and natural beauty that has seen it designated as a ‘Biosphere Reserve’ by UNESCO.
The landscape is shaped by the long extinct volcanoes, with inland areas dominated by wide open spaces that are dotted with traditional villages, herds of goats and windmills that take full advantage of the Atlantic winds, golden beaches fringed by dunes are vast enough to feel secluded even at the height of the summer season – Fuerteventura is a mass of contradictions, traditional island life meets beach culture and embraces it to create something uniquely special.
