CargandoCargandoFuerteventura es la isla de las playas largas y del viento. Las dunas de Corralejo, kilómetros de arena en el sur y un interior casi desértico la convierten en un sitio para el mar, el surf y los atardeceres. Para moverse por la isla, el coche es casi imprescindible.
Fuerteventura in two daysThe north in a weekend: the Corralejo dunes and El Cotillo with its lagoons on day one, and on day two Betancuria, the old capital tucked inland to hide from pirates, and the Ajuy caves, the oldest rock in the Canaries.2 days· 4 stops
Fuerteventura in four daysThe island end to end. In come Cofete, twelve kilometres of wild beach on the far side of the mountain up a dirt track, and Lobos islet, which needs a permit booked in advance and has a daily quota. Four days because the island is a hundred kilometres long.4 days· 6 stops
Fuerteventura in six daysSix days allow the Sotavento lagoon, which appears and vanishes with the tide, and the island that isn't beach: the Casa de los Coroneles, from which Fuerteventura was ruled like a private estate, and the church of Pájara, with a carved doorway nobody can explain.6 days· 9 stops

Lobos islet💡It always blows here, and that changes everything
The wind is constant almost all year: that is why the island is a reference point for surfing and kiting, and why a sunbed by the sea can be uncomfortable while the hotel pool is glorious. It is not bad weather, it is what this place is. Bring long sleeves even at twenty-six degrees.
💡Your rental insurance does not cover dirt tracks
Cofete, some northern beaches and several viewpoints are reached on unpaved roads, and virtually every rental contract excludes them: if you puncture or break something there, you pay for all of it. Read that clause before you commit. For Cofete there is a bus from Morro Jable, which is the untroubled way to go.
