Fuerteventura Transfers, Taxis & Shuttles

Located off the west coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean, Fuerteventura is the second largest of Spain’s Canary Islands. The island has over 150 sandy beaches, all of which are popular exploring and relaxing upon. Yet, Fuerteventura is much more than beaches, and offers visitors a wide array of activities.

Fuerteventura’s, sunny disposition sees the island being a top spot for those seeking outdoor activities on the beach. Locals refer to the island as the island of the eternal spring, due to its constant sunshine and warm temperatures. Fuerteventura specialises in outdoor fun and many of the must-see places are in the sun. The Parque Natural de Corralejo is a favourite spot for windsurfers, and park goers can find a perfect spot to lounge in the sun.

Playa de Cofete is another beautiful beach enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. Quiet, with large ocean surf, the Playa de Cofete is a beach for tourists hoping to leave the crowded sands of Fuerteventura behind.

For those looking to leave the beach for a little while, the Mirador Morro Velosa is considered the most beautiful viewpoint on the island. At a height of 650 metres, the Mirador Morro Velosa offers views from the north side of Fuerteventura out over the blue waters of the Atlantic.

For those looking for a little respite from the sun, there is also the Betancuria Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography. There, visitors can see crafts, fossils and other items from Fuerteventura's heritage.

The island is plentiful with its own fresh produce, and markets, restaurants and cafés are full of local delicacies. Majorero Cheese is a favourite amongst locals; this goat’s milk cheese is rubbed in olive oil, paprika and a corn flour mix known as gofio, which gives the cheese a lovely golden colour. Like the other islands of the Canaries, fish is the main catch on Fuerteventura, and the island’s restaurants specialise in various fish dishes. Many of the eateries will offer a catch of the day that was just hauled in by local fishermen. Fuerteventura is well known for its Vieja, or Parrot Fish, is a must eat fish when dining out.

The Corralejo area in the north of the island is Fuerteventura’s nightlife-central. The bars dot the harbour and offer cool drinks to hot tourists. The discos and bars stay open late on the island, and parties can last until the sun comes up. For those looking for a bit of home away from home, there are also a number of British and Irish pubs located in the Corralejo
