Fuerteventura. Over 70 kilometers of pristine white beaches; an unbeatable climate; friendly people and sugar cube villages. These are some of the reasons why Fuerteventura, the Canaries' second largest island is becoming a Mecca for those seeking a picture postcard holiday.
With virtually the same climate as Florida and Mexico, Fuerteventura is like an all over tonic where you can't help but feel the stresses and strains of every day life disappearing over the horizon with the setting sun. For clouds and rain imagine a seamless stretch of sapphire blue with 360 days of sunshine per year; for the fumes of traffic torment think clean ocean breeze from a coastline never far away; for industrial hi-rise cities picture sugar cube villages and tiny fishing hamlets. There are a total of 152 beaches on Fuerteventura offering something for everyone. Some are wild and lonely, like something out of Robinson Crusoe, while others bustle with tourist activity.
The town of Costa Caleta (also known as Castillo or Caleta de fuste) is perfectly positioned in the middle of the island, and therefore is only a 5 minute taxi transfer from the airport. Costa Caleta is a particularly friendly town and caters extremely well for families and couples alike. There is a multitude of good restaurants in Caleta that can cater for all tastes at very reasonable prices. Steaks and Fish are particularly good, however there are also Chinese, Indian, Greek and English restaurants all within a close area. There are also a number of good supermarkets within the local area. The town of Costa Caleta is often reffered to as a holiday village.The man made beach has been carefully constructed to avoid currents and is in the shape of a horse shoe. This ensures it is perfectly safe for children of all ages. Those wanting to be a little more adventurous can go diving, hire jet skis or learn to windsurf at the water centre on the beach. The harbour is home to many yachts, catamarans and boats which provide local trips as well as providing a beautiful backdrop in the evenings.
Costa Caleta is the fastest developing resort on the island and a safe water sports haven. Diving, snorkeling, windsurfing are popular in this protected bay and dolphins and pilot whales are common sights a little further out to sea. The island's first golf course is situated just south of the village, an 18-hole, par 70 studded with palm trees and surrounding three stream-linked lakes.
