Fuerteventura

Spend your vacation in the sun, just a 100 km hop off the African coast, on the Canary Island of Fuerteventura. If sun is what you need on your holiday you will find plenty of it here, with three thousand hours of sunshine per year, Fuerteventura is sure to have enough for your stay. Reserve a car hire in Fuerteventura for exploring the wonders of the island during your sun-bathing vacation.

Weather and conditions here are very similar to Florida and Mexico, which are on the same latitude. That combined with the fact that Fuerteventura has more sand dunes and long sandy beaches than anywhere else in the Canaries equals endless options for beach fun in the sun. Even though most of the island is made up of stone and rock, it is frequented as its beaches are known as being some of the most impressive in all of Europe.

Fuerteventura is the oldest of all the volcanic Canary Islands, with its last eruption dated to approximately 7,000 years ago. Its interesting shape and strange contours are attributed to its various volcanic episodes.

Fuerteventura is very popular for its water-sports, attracting hundreds of surfers, windsurfers and divers every year. The island is most popular as a windsurfing destination in the month of July, when it hosts the PWA world windsurfing speed and slalom event at Sotavento in the south of the island. You can check with your resort destination on the island for the availability of local diving tours.

To learn more about the Island's interesting landscape and culture visit the Betancuria Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography or the Tefia Craft Village. Book a rental car in Fuerteventura for your day at the museum.****
