The
second largest of the Canary Islands, Fuerteventura is
renowned for its miles of unspoilt sandy beaches that seem
to go on for ever. The island features spectacular
desert-like and mountainous scenery. Just 95km from the
coast of Africa, Fuerteventuara enjoys the year round warmth
of Africa balanced by cooling Atlantic breezes.
The development of Caleta de
Fuste has been tastefully managed and in recent years has
seen the addition of The Sheraton Hotel Resort and
Fuerteventura Golf Course, home of the 2004 Spanish Open.
