Information about the region Fuerteventura
Trip Preparation
Fuerteventura is one of the seven islands in the Canaries. It is the second largest. It emerged from the sea over 21 million years ago. Its long coastline means it has the largest selection of
beautiful beaches out of all the islands. Perfect for a holiday with children, but also for those who love windsurfing and other water sports.
On the border
Although the island is only 100 km from the coast of Africa, is an integral part of Spain, and therefore a member of the EU. EU citizens only need a passport and don’t require a visa.
Climate
Visit at any time of year. Temperatures are perfect for walking and doing sports all the time. However if it is sunbathing you are interested in, then your best option is to visit during the summer months. In the winter the temperature does not fall below 18 degrees.

Hotel reviews for hotels in Fuerteventura
I was in the nudist area (right next to the sauna, very recommendable) and my kids were in the teenager club. The club's boss made me a brew (thank you Kurt), I made some good conversation, the community spirit there is very good. The view was fantastic. A pleasant atmosphere. If you are a constant moaner, you have come to the wrong place as there are some faults, however I can gladly accept them, because you feel comfortable there. Everyone has their own area that they can choose. There are ... Read more

Baptismal can stand late breakfast in the restaurant on the beach. All you can eat all day. The evening shows could use times exchanged to be. If You more often Club vacation makes, shows ...

After all the previously read reviews I was rather nicely surprised. There are many large stones on the beach, I knew-have stayed several times in the neighbor hotel vacation - bathing shoes are necessary, if you don't want to slip... The food was in order, in any case, I have always found something for my taste. In my second week here, even though it was in the restaurant sometimes very crowded. The pool area was very beautiful and green designed. The rooms are were furnished practically and... Read more
