Experience Fuerteventura
Let's have a closer look at the oldest Canary Island: Fuerteventura. Fuerteventura is the
second-largest island after
Tenerife. Situated 60 miles (100km) from Morocco, it’s the closest to the African coast. The
152 different beaches are pure white sand or black volcanic shingle (formed by volcanic eruptions).
Fuerteventura is heaven for watersports enthusiasts due to the warm climate and water conditions. Around the coast, you’ll be able to enjoy a variety of surfing activities, diving and fishing. If being active on the water isn’t your cup of tea, then try one of the many beautiful boat tours in Fuerteventura. Explore the coast of Fuerteventura and visit Isla de Lobos.
Language and currency in Fuerteventura
The language spoken on Fuerteventura is Spanish, although English is widely spoken as well. The currency in Fuerteventura is the Euro, just like the mainland of Spain. There are cashpoint machines in all the resorts on the island.
Getting around in Fuerteventura
The best way to explore the island Fuerteventura is by renting a car. Although Fuerteventura is the second-largest Canary Island, driving on the island is pretty smooth and it is easy to move across the island. Fuerteventura is 60 miles (100km) long and a maximum of 18 miles (30km) wide. It is therefore easy to drive to any destination on the island and return within a day!
A little less free, but still a good way to get around, is by bus. There are about 16 different bus routes on the island that connect the major towns. However, they are a bit slower and don’t really bring you to the natural attractions that Fuerteventura has to offer. Taxis are also available in most towns.
