Family of five (incl. three kids - 15, 13 & 9) really enjoyed our trip.
Suddenly the geography of Fuerteventura and all the Canary Islands came alive, with their 20 million-year history of volcanoes, erosion, microclimates, the importance of water, forging a life in hostile conditions etc. Great way to spend 4 hours.

Wow this place is truly beautiful. The sand dunes are really impressive and as it’s such a large area there is no chance of it feeling overcrowded. It’s great to walk through the dunes and along the beach front watching the kite surfers but the wind whips up here so it’s unlikely you’ll get the chance to settle here to do a bit of sunbathing. Still definitely worth a visit and no issue of finding somewhere to pull over and park your car.

Wow, what a fabulous little spot. The village has a small harbour overlooked by some cafes, tavernas on the cliff top. Fabulous views all along the coast, with amazing sandy Beaches and bays to explore. A good walk or drive along the beach road, path leads to some great bays and secluded coves. It extends along to the lighthouse, with amazing views and sandy bays to swim or relax in. Fantastic beautiful relaxing place.

Visiting this island for a three hour hike was the highlight of my holiday. Truly beautiful, varied views of the stunning, unspoilt nature and the sea. The hiking trail is rather easy, although rocky and wet at places, and I was happy that I chose wearing my hiking boots. The route around the island is well signed as well.
There are not many services on the island, so I recommend that you take your water bottles and some snack with you. Also, there was no running water from the taps at the nature center even though the toilets worked, so I also recommend taking sanitary napkins with you.
