Fuerteventura - the Canary Island with the oldest history - has the longest beaches of wonderful fine sand. The clear blue Atlantic waters, where whales, dolphins, marlin and turtles are all common sights, provide ideal conditions for sailing, diving and fishing - which can all be part of your self-catering holiday in Casa Mariposa.
A drive to Corralejo in the north of the island is well worthwhile to see the dunes created by sand blowing in from the Sahara desert - just 60 miles away - or to catch the ferry to the island's nearest neighbour, Lanzarote.
You might be forgiven for thinking that the island has little to offer apart from sun-bathing, but you’d be wrong! Fuerteventura (‘fuerte’ = strong, and ‘viento’ = wind) benefits from off-shore winds that particularly attract wind-surfers. Every July and August, the World Windsurfing Championships are held in Fuerteventura.
You could try shark fishing, horse riding or kitesurfing, explore beautiful blue lagoons and volcanic hills, ..…
..... alternatively, you could, of course, just lie back and soak up the sun on some of the best beaches in the Canaries.
