¿What to do? Exploring the island of Fuerteventura
Throughout the island of Fuerteventura, visitors can admire several stunning and unique natural areas, such as the many kilometres of sand dunes in Dunas de Corralejo, the highly-typical geomorphological characteristics of the Tindaya mountain or the impressive landscapes that include the Cofete Arch in Jandía.
The Los Lobos Nature Reserve is a small island of some 4.5 Km2 located almost 2 Km to the north-east of Fuerteventura itself. The stretch of water that separates the two is called El Río, in the Bocaina Straits, the depth of which never exceeds 10 metres. The island can clearly be seen from Corralejo.
Vega de Tetir
With such beautiful natural phenomena as the Valles y Cuchillos de Sotavento, Vega de Tetir was once the cereal crop hub of the island. Through its traditional architecture, the town has preserved the unquestionable aura of rural Fuerteventura.
Every second Sunday of the month in Vega de Tetir, a Traditional Craftwork Market is held where it is possible to discover local produce, traditional arts and crafts, cultural events, camel rides and a wide range of other activities.
Food & Beverages
The cuisine of the Canary Islands is typically Mediterranean but with its own unique character. Good use is made of local agricultural and livestock resources with less focus placed on the fattier foods. One of the great legacies of the original population is the `gofio¿; basically toasted wheat and corn flour with renowned dietary values. It is cooked with milk, fish stock or mixed with water and salt. Special mention should also be made of the local cheeses, several of which are highly-reputable and have won national and international awards.
