    Take a break and go shopping in the capital Puerto del Rosario in the island's largest shopping centre Las Rotondas, or browse for typical souvenirs at the handicraft and African markets. Visit the award-winning goat cheese dairies La Pared and Maxorata and taste the fine cheeses.
    Even as a family with children you will get your money's worth. Sunbathe and swim in the tranquil Caleta de Fueste bay, crown an unforgettable day at Oasis Wildlife Park with a camel ride, see and pet goats,

      3 Fuerteventura - An overview

      Fuerteventura... different! leads you beside endless long, dreamlike snow-white Caribbean beaches to the worth seeing attractions of the multifaceted volcanic island. In the north, from the largest and liveliest town of Corralejo[1] with its beautiful dunes, explore the small nature reserve Isla Los Lobos[2], where the former lighthouse keeper runs a small restaurant, and enjoy the beautiful beaches of the Playas Grandes, which are particularly suitable for water sports in the sections Flag Beach, Playa Bajo Negro, Playa Moro and Playa Poris.

      In the northwest, visit the fishing village of El Cotillo, which protected the coast from intruders with its centuries-old fortified tower, Castillo de Testón, and look out over the long beaches of Playa del Castillo, where kite and body-surfers meet.

      Make a detour to the lighthouse Faro de Tostón[3] with the fishing museum and don't miss the yet unknown popcorn beach[4].

      Visit the historically important town of La Oliva, whose sights include the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria, the Ermita de Puerto Rico, the impressive Casa de los Coroneles[5], the dilapidated Casa del Inglés, and the former granary La Cilla, which dates back to the 17th century. Art lovers can admire the works of well over 80 artists in the spacious Casa Mané.

      Marvel at the unique rock carvings of the indigenous people in Casa Alta de Tindaya.

      Immerse yourself in the traditional rural life of the island at the Ecomuseo de La Alcogida[6] open-air museum in Tefía, where you can purchase genuine handicrafts directly on the spot.

      In the little visited village of Tetír, next to the listed parish church of Santo Domingo de Guzman, you will find the Gofio Museum, run by the last active gofio miller in the world.

      In the island's capital Puerto del Rosario, the largest shopping centre in Fuerteventura, Las Rotondas, awaits you, where you can buy a wide range of products in specialist shops. Explore the centre with the parish church Nuestra Señora del Rosario, the museum Casa Museo Unamuno, buy local products in the market halls Mercado Municipal or the Mercado Agrario de Fuerteventura. Afterwards you can enjoy a sunbath on the city beach Playa Chica or on the main beach Playa Blanca.

      In the popular holiday resort Caleta de Fustes you can enjoy the view of the marina from the gently sloping sandy beach Playa de Castillo[7]. Stroll along the long promenade past historic lime kilns and head to the Centro Comercial Atlantico shopping centre. In addition, the popular African market allows for further shopping opportunities.

      Explore the historic Salinas del Carmen[8] with the Museo de La Sal, where salt was actively extracted until 1980.

      In the centre of Fuerteventura you will meet even more island history: During a guided tour through La Ampuyenta you will see the small but impressive Ermita de San Pedro de Alcántara and learn all the details in the house Casa Museo Dr. Mena, as well as in the hermitage of Fray Andresito.

      In sleepy Antigua, head to the Molino de Antigua windmill and its interesting cheese museum Museo de Queso Majorero[9].

      Don't miss a stop in Tuineje to see the altarpieces of the important battle of Tamasite in the church of San Miguel Arcángel.

      In Pájara, visit the impressive parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Regla, in front of which stands a Noria, a restored water wheel driven by a donkey.

      Drive to the rugged coast of Ajuy with the deep black beach of the dead, the Playa de Los Muertos[10] and explore along the sea cliffs the lime kilns, as well as the deep caves Cuevas, which served as a pirates' hideout.

      In the former capital of the island Betancuria[11], which belongs to the most beautiful villages of Spain since this year, you should visit the church Nuestra Señora de la Concepción with the attached museum for sacral art and the monastery ruins of the Convento de San Buenaventura with the Ermita San Diego, besides a city tour.

      From the 645-metre-high Mirador de Morro Velosa lookout point, you can see the desert-like landscape of the island. You must make selfies at the Mirador de Guise y Ayose[12] with its 4.50 m high statues of the former island kings.

      You can see how old windmills work on the island in the small museum Centro de Interpretación de Molinos in Tiscamanita.

      You can even buy stuffed gofio biscuits on a trip to the Quesos de Belido cheese dairy.

      Cross the impassable Malpais of the natives, which is interspersed with rubble and lava stones, and simply turn back time in the stone-built settlement of La Atalayita[13].
