Just a quick drive after El Cotillo beach on a corrugated offroad path, this infamous beach, took my breath away. Rugged cliffs, wild beach and a jaw dropping steep path felt like going down to paradise. Stay for sunset and you might be lucky enough to have the beach all by yourself. There is no real signs for Escalera, so watch out for other cars parked near the cliffs.

We, a couple with beginner and advanced level, were looking for a professional tennis coach in Corralejo. We found Gabriele and we are so happy about the experience we had with having taken private lessons with him for a week. First of all, Gabriele is an experienced and certified tennis coach, he commands the knowledge of teaching tennis, not only of playing it. Therefor he knows how to teach the right technique and applies a variety of methods to diversify the lessons. Besides that, he looks back to a professional tennis career and he is a former ATP player. I learned the wrong technique years ago and thanks to Gabrieles teaching methods (and his patience!) I made big progress during the week under his supervision. My partner, an an advanced player, also was very satisfied with the lessons. Not only that - Gabriele is very enthusiastic and really involved in the subject of teaching tennis. There are plenty of tennis coaches and courts around in Fuerteventura, particularly in Corralejo. But not all can call themselves a professional tennis coach playing and teaching on a professional tennis court/surface in a nice surrounding. For us, Tennis Club Corralejo and Gabriele is the tennis club and coach we can recommend 100% !

We were very fortunate as we spent 5 weeks (Nov/Dec) in the Riu Place Tres Islas, which is situated in the centre of Grandes Playas, the Dunas of Corralejo and the Natural Park. The impressive Grandes Playas de Corralejo spreads along the coast for almost 3 and a half kilometres and an average width of 60 metres. They sit within the 10 kilometres of beaches that sprawl from Corralejo to Parque Holandes. The main two beaches Playa el Viejo Playa Bajo Negro, are on either side of the hotel. They are the only 2 beaches that provided sunbeds and umbrellas for rent at €9 for 2 sun beds and an umbrella. There are volleyball nets on both beaches and a beach bar on El Viejo. Don't want to use the sunbeds then there is plenty of space to spread out towels on the golden sand. Smaller beaches also formed part of the Grandes Playas, there are no facilities on these beaches. Dotted along the beaches are man made stone circular walls, known as corralitos, which provide shelter from the winds that swirls around the beaches. The crystal clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean wash the the shores. During our stay we did spent a number of days on the smaller beaches. We also walked along the beaches in both directions from the hotel. A walk along the beaches to Corralejo is a highlight. The smaller beaches are popular with naturists. The Natural Park of the Dunes of Corralejo, which includes the Grandes, was declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in May 2009. There is plenty of car parking along the roadside.

Friday 20th November and we drove to remote fishing village of Ajuy, on the western coast of the Island. In truth we were hoping to find a beach where we could spend a few hours. Instead we found the natural phenomimena that are the Caves of Ajuy. We parked up in the free parking area outside the village as only residents can drive in the village. So we walked from here, short distance, to the beach through the narrow stree. We were totally amazed by the sight that greeted us. The wild crashing waves onto the black sand and rocks along the beach and the dramatic cliffs that contained the caves. We made our way across the beach to the pathway that takes visitors along the coast to the various viewing points to see the caves and experience the incredible scenery and the force of the Atlantic Ocean. Walking along the top pathway it takes about 15 minutes to the furthest view point. On the way back there is a small lower pathway, only lasts about 5 minutes, here it is possible to look inside the remain of the lime kilns (Hornos). When walking back to the beach, on the top pathway, the only route back, it is possible to look down into the kilns. Initially the pathway is paved and even underfoot, that soon changes and it becomes a rocky cliff path. Would recommend wearing sturdy footwear as this is not really flip flop terrain. When we visited it was exceptionally windy so pointless try to wear a hat or cap unless it was tied on. Not what we were expecting to see but what a bonus.

Open every day of the year, it includes 3 restaurants, a children’s play area and a farm with domestic animals. A free return bus service collects visitors from different points of the island.

I cannot recommend this trip enough! We opted for the 35E each whereby we walked the park alone as opposed to with a rep. This place is just wonderful, very big park, clean, modern, picturesque. There were some wonderful animals but our faveourite part was feeding the giraffes. Plenty of cafes and bars around to grab some food and drinks. Lots of cats around too. It is a must to go to the sealion show (which is inc in the ticket price) it was magical and made me cry, beautiful to watch them bond with the humans. Also walk up into the botanical gardens and at the top is where the birds of prey show is, open theatre with spectacular views of the mountain and sea whilst the birds swoop across in front of you. It is a long day 9 - 5.30 and we found ourselves done by around 4pm, however it is THE BEST zoo I have ever visited and the animals are well cared for. Great day out and fab value for money as you have various shows you can go to along the way.

Without question some of the best stretch of coastline in Fuerteventura. It has miles of beach walking available with good beach bars, toilets and facilities are along. The beach is spotless with good swimming conditions. There’s plenty of shops, bars & restaurants off it with quaint old town in Morro del JABO to the right as you look at the ocean. Well worth a visit, it’s stunning.
