THE FUERTEVENTURA COASTS

Stranger by many, and loved by all navigator who has furrowed his waters, Fuerteventura represents a paradise for the practice of the nautical sports, guards including.

Their beaches, many of still virgin them, form enormous white sand extensions, separated to each other by rocky sections, and in which the quiet murmur of the Atlantic Ocean is only listened to. Their crystalline waters of blue turkish remember other latitudes to us near the Equator.

To only of 100 kilometers of the African continent, but to 1000 km of Cadiz, Fuerteventura it offers about 265 km of coasts of the low coast. Near her we found separated Lanzarote by the Straits of the Bocaina. Closely together of his northeast angle and to 3 miles only it appears the small island of Wolves.

The End of the Tiñosa is formed by a great number of immaculate beaches like the one of the Corralejo, having given passage after the end of the Tostón, to zones with cliffs difficult by earth. Between the peninsula of Jandía and the end of the Manger it appears the beautiful Beach of Windward that takes to step to the one of Leeward of 200 meters in width and several km of extension.

In the Eastern coast they alternate formation rocky with fine and clear sand beaches. We find the Beach of the Tarajalejo waiting room of the port of the Great Tarajal, after which we will discover dunes and dunes as if a desert sank in transparent waters. The port of the Rosary (long ago port Goats) is in half of this spectacular place.

The temperature is ideal practically all the year, with relative humidity that decays very quickly in its interior. The alíseos always blow in the same extended direction of the island, and given the very little orography of the island, this does not manage to retain any mass of significant water. Some years it does not get to rain not one day, which gives an idea of the barren character of the place.

When the south-east dry East blows from the continental one, a warmer climate of the normal thing takes place accelerating the evaporation in all the island.

From 1708 military presence in the island exists.

The castle of the Tostón is a beautiful example of the military architecture, constructed in century XVIII like defense. The church of the Olive offers important punturas of Juan Vantage point, and in its interior also we will be able to find hermitages like the one of Indaya, Vallebrón or Lajares, in which the virgin of the Candlemas adores itself. 

The Corralejo, is an important tourist center thanks to its crystalline waters and pleasant temperature, like the beaches of the Great Tarajal and Tarajalejo of fine sand black and surrounded by dense and green palmerales.

Fuerteventura offers perfect conditions for the practice of the candle sports, Windsuf and the novel KiteSurf in which they fight record of speed to candle which they reach the 40 knots! Its special conditions of strong laminar and constant winds, and the practical nonexistence of surge has allowed that is considered as one of the best places of the world for these sports, obtaining to be soothes of the end of the professional world-wide championships.
