Holiday rentals in Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura is the second largest of the seven Canary Islands part of the Spanish semiautonomous archipelago 100km off the coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. Despite the over development of the Canaries as a winter tourist destination Fuerteventura has managed to keep its pristine beaches some of the longest in the islands with both fine white and black volcanic sand. The centre of the tourist trade and nightlife is Corralejo on the north coast. With its excellent year round weather many people come here for the water-sports that are on offer from fishing to scuba-diving to what is now a stop on the European wind-surfing tour. It was the early windsurfers who discovered that due to the islands volcanic makeup there were some awesome wave breaks that have attracted people from all over the world to come here and board-surf calling Fuerteventura “Europe’s Hawaii.” If you would like to learn to surf many schools are available in Corralejo offering a day, and multi-day packages.
