Fuerteventura is different from all the other islands in the
Canaries. Being the closest to Africa, there's a definite taste
of the Sahara about it. The countryside is lonely but warm,
bleak but friendly and, in its own way, beautiful. Beaches are
what Fuerteventura is all about; mile upon mile of untouched
golden sand, great billowing white sand dunes, foaming surf, and
quiet turquoise coves. Even though the landscape changes little,
it's pleasant to tour Fuerteventura by car, since there's little
traffic. This updated third edition is an ideal introduction to
the island. There are also walks to suit all appetites - rambles
across the hills, fairly easy mountain ascents, a seaside hike
and, for explorers, rocky barrancos with hidden streams and palm
groves. It includes a day-trip to nearby Lanzarote. |
