Cities

Festung_von_El_Cotillo - Corralejo fortress

Betancuria Caleta de Fuste Corralejo Sotavento Ajui

Ajuy 28.3999, -14.1558 - The small fishing village on the west coast is always worth a visit and not overcrowded. Here one can visit the caves of Ajuy, but the rocks are already very worth seeing. There is also the black sand beach. There is plenty of parking for cars. Also, a small restaurant is here - with friendly service, simple Spanish food and fruit drinks. Swimming is not too recommended here - after a few meters of beach it gets very deep and there are strong currents. However, you can just lie in the still shallow waters and get a refreshment from the Atlantic.

Cofete

A small village in the south (west coast of it), Jandia peninsula. It has nothing to do with the tourist harbors on the rest of the south coast. It is worth a trip if you have a vehicle - without it, it's hard to reach. The place itself is not very big, but has a café.

Back at the time, Franco had here a military restricted area. From here, Franco pursued his interests in Africa. Nearby is also the Villa Winter GPS 28.10181, -14.37506, which is named after the name of the builder (Gustav Winter), surrounded by many legends.

There is a non-dangerous, but very nice beach. Hardly any people are here. In the vicinity of Cofete there are a lot of places where you can make beautiful landscapes.

Costa Calma

At south-east coast, German-oriented. The right place for relaxation without stress. The town of Costa Calma is located outside of the tourist town. There are only a few houses. In the tourist resort of Costa Calma everything revolves around the tourist.

Eternally long yellow sand beaches mark the place, inviting for long walks. In the area of the village itself and they are guarded and quite cramped. To the south it becomes less sandy. Here the surfers and the kite surfers share their area. The waves and wind are always certain here.

El Cotillo

West from Corralejo. It is a small place that has been the focus of tourism for only a few years. The individual life has not yet fused very much with the tourist. Thit is ideal for individual tourists.

The tourist buses also pass El Cotillo. The destination is the fortress of the old fishing village, where lime was burnt in the past. From the tower it was seen whether pirates were approaching the island. In the fortress, art pictures are exhibited. For a glimpse of El Cotillio this stop is enough. But the place has offers next to the fortress too. In the small Cotillo there are surprisingly many good restaurants (especially Canarian and Italian cuisine).

The place has a lot of peculiarities. From the fortress one has a beautiful view of the coasts to the north and south. The lagoon beach in the north towards lighthouses is suitable for families with small children. In the south the waves roll harder to the beach.

Hourly bus from Corralejo to El Cotillo is available. The direct bus connection with Puerto del Rosario is much rarer. It is best to visit the place with a rental vehicle - parking is without problems.

Jandia

A purely touristic artificial village, bordering Morro Jable.

Jandia itself consists only of hotels, shops, restaurants. The village has even a small zoo.

The most important asset of Jandia is surely the beach. From Morro Jable and the beach with bright yellow sand stretches far east. There are beach sections that are guarded (with rent couches, bars and fast food), but also sections where you are very alone.

In the direction of Morro Jable the waves can hardly be felt. Going east and the waves become stronger. At the junction, where it goes northwards, a rock divides the beach - high waves can be enjoyed there.

The main street is also the shopping street. All are located in the north of the street, so you always have a view of the sea.

On Thursday and the African market takes place on the market square of Jandia. Plagiarism of all kinds can be purchased here - in addition to fresh fruits, vegetables.

Morro Jable

Abends_in_Morro_Jable - Morro Jable Im_Zentrum_von_Morro_Jable - Morro Jable center

The village begins with the harbor. There is a daily ferry service to Las Palmas - approx. 3.5h hours. Morro Jable can not be reached directly from the port, a rock wall blocks the path.

The village of Morro Jable rises up the mountain. Here are the people who work in the Jandia hotels. From the port you have to go up the mountain and then down to the village center. The town center has not yet been taken over by tourists and there is something to do until late nights.

Pájara

Iglesia Nuestra Señora de Regla - Pajara 02 - Altar of the right nave of the Iglesia Nuestra Señora de Regla in Pájara, Fuerteventura Rathaus -Pájara - Pájara City hall

The capital of the southern province, but it's just a small village in the middle of the island. Here the taxes from Costa Calma and Jandia flow - which shows in the city (like in town hall). In the summer even a fresh water swimming swimmingpool is available - in contrast with water prices on the island.

The town is nevertheless worth seeing, to get a glimpse of the life of the local residents. You can enjou some Spanish cuisine - or coffee "Leche y Leche". It's an espresso, on which one puts sweet condensed milk. If you turn it around, it becomes sweet milk Coffee, if you do not and then you have a special taste experience.

The church in the center has a nice portal. Aztec art can be visited here. There is a lot of speculation as to how these works have emerged. The most plausible - a monk came home richly after the trip to South America and donated this portal.
