Natural conditions
Fuerteventura has a predominantly desert landscape with a volcanic surface (we can only recommend hiking up a volcano) and a dry climate. Temperatures here can range from 18 to 40 °C, but the weather is stable all year round, around 21 °C in winter, with wind-cooled air in summer. The windy weather brings sand from the Sahara, creating the unique sand dunes on the east coast.
Tip: We can tailor-make sightseeing and guided tours to suit your requirements.
Tourist attractions
- Endless beaches: the island offers more than 150 natural beaches, including the famous Playa de Sotavento.
