Fuerteventura

 Located just 97 kilometres off the coast of North Africa, Fuerteventura, with a surface of 1,660 km², is the second-most extensive island of the archipelago, after Tenerife.

 Fuerteventura is also the oldest island in the Canary Islands dating back 20 million years to a volcanic eruption from the Canary hotspot. The majority of the island was created about 5 million years ago and since then eroded by wind and weather. Being the one that is more eroded, its highest point is the Peak of Zarza (Peak of the Bramble) on the Mount Jandía (807 m) in the southwestern part of the island.

 The climate on the island throughout the year is pleasant. The island is also called the island of eternal spring. The sea adjusts the temperature making the hot Sahara winds blow away from the island of Fuerteventura.

 During the winter months, temperatures average a high of 22 °C and a low of around 15 °C, whereas during the summer a mean high of 35 °C and a low of 20 °C can be expected. Precipitation is about 147 mm per year, most of which falls in the winter.

 With its 3,000 sunshine hours a year and 152 sandy beaches which cover a total coastal length of 75 km, Fuerteventura was placed firmly on the world stage as a major European holiday destination. The island is a paradise for sun, beach and watersports enthusiasts.

 The summer Trade Winds and winter swells of the Atlantic make this a year-round surfers'and windsurfers' paradise. Scuba divers and big game fishermen are all drawn to these clear blue Atlantic waters where whales, dolphins, marlin and turtles are all common sights.

 Much of the interior, with its large plains, lavascapes and volcanic mountains, consists of protected areas which can be best be explored by walking or biking along pathways, or in a 4x4 on an organised tour.

The island is part of the province of Las Palmas.
Its capital is Puerto del Rosario. It is divided into six municipalities:

 - Antigua
 - Betancuria
 - La Oliva
 - Pájara
 - Puerto del Rosario
 - Tuineje

 Primary tourist areas are around the existing towns of Corralejo in the north (municipalitie of La Oliva) and Morro Jable - Jandia in the south(municipalitie of Pajara), plus the purely tourist development at Caleta de Fuste / Costa Caleta (south of Puerto del Rosario).
