Highlights of the Canary Islands

The charming island of Fuerteventura lies just 100km off the North African coast, and alongside its beautiful landscape, you’ll find year-round sunshine, endless sandy beaches and the most stunning coastline. Fuerteventura is little known to travellers, but has a wonderful variety of walking trails meandering through pretty African-style architecture, and volcanoes so colourful, they resemble mountains of exotic spices. Go walking in Fuerteventura and you’ll be surrounded by the unspoiled ecosystem, passing through desert oases and sweeping dunes.
