PARADISE FOUND ...
Fuerteventura is the second largest of the 7 Canary Islands which form the archipelago, and lies just 110km
off the African coastline. Unlike the rest of the islands, it's shores are generally low-lying;
and long, near empty beaches abound. The island enjoys a superb year round climate and as Fuerteventura is the closest island to the coast of Africa
it is also the hottest and the driest of the archipelago, with an average yearly temp. of 22°C.
The north-east trade winds blow fairly consistently throughout the year providing the best windsurfing conditions
in Europe, and a pleasing breeze to cool the blistering African sunshine, which shines on the island for an
incredible 3,000 hours a year! With 157 beaches to choose from, Fuerteventura is a beach lovers paradise,
but in fact has plenty more to offer than just sun and sand.
