Third edition 2020 - Up-to-date, detailed information, important useful insider tips and all highlights.

The travel guide Fuerteventura... different! leads you beside endless long, dreamlike snow-white Caribbean beaches to the worth seeing attractions of the multifaceted volcanic island.

Explore to the north, from the largest and liveliest town of Corralejo, with stunning dunes,

the small nature protected Isla Los Lobos, where the former lighthouse keeper runs a small restaurant,

and enjoy the fantastic beaches of the Playas Grandes, which are especially suitable for water sports in the sections Flag Beach, Playa Bajo Negro, Playa Moro and Playa Poris.

In the northwest, visit the fishing village of El Cotillo, which protects the coast from intruders with its centuries-old fortified tower, the Castillo de Testón.

Look from the coast to the long beaches of Playa del Castillo, where kite and body surfers meet.

Make a detour to the Faro de Tostón lighthouse with its fishing museum and don't miss the yet unknown popcorn beach.

Visit the historically important town of La Oliva, whose monuments include the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria, the Ermita de Puerto Rico, the impressive Casa del Coroneles, the dilapidated Casa del Inglés, and the former granary La Cilla, which dates back to the 17th century. Art lovers can admire the works of well over 80 artists in the spacious Casa Mané.

Marvel at the unique rock carvings of the Guanches, the original inhabitants of the Canary Islands, in Tindaya, in the Casa Alta de Tindaya. Discover the monument to the poet Unamuno and taste the goat's cheese at the Quesos de Tindaya goat cheese dairy.

Immerse yourself in the traditional rural life of the island at the Ecomuseo de La Alcogida open-air museum in Tefía, where you can purchase genuine handicrafts directly on the spot.

In the little visited village of Tetír, next to the listed parish church of Santo Domingo de Guzman, you will find the Gofio Museum, run by the last active gofio miller in the world.

In the island's capital Puerto del Rosario, the largest shopping centre in Fuerteventura, Las Rotondas, awaits you, where you can shop extensively in specialist shops.

Explore the centre with the parish church Nuestra Señora del Rosario, the museum Casa Museo Unamuno, buy fresh local products in the market halls Mercado Municipal or Mercado Agrario de Fuerteventura.

Treat yourself to a sunbath on the city beach Playa Chica or on the main beach Playa Blanca.

In the large popular holiday resort of Caleta de Fustes you can enjoy the view of the marina from the gently sloping sandy beach, Playa de Castillo.

Along the long promenade, past historic lime kilns, you will arrive at the shopping centre Centro Comercial Atlantico.

In addition, the popular African market allows for further shopping opportunities.

Explore the Salinas del Carmen, the historic salt works with the Museo de La Sal, where salt was still being extracted in the 1980s for the fish factory in Puerto del Rosario.

Meet even more island history in the centre of Fuerteventura: During a guided tour through La Ampuyenta you will see the small but impressive Ermita de San Pedro de Alcántara and learn all the details in the house, the Casa Museo Dr. Mena and the hermitage of Fray Andresito.

In sleepy Antigua, head to the windmill, Molino de Antigua, with its interesting cheese museum, the Museo de Queso de Majoro.

Don't miss a stop in Tuineje to see the altarpieces of the Battle of Tamasite in the church of San Miguel Arcángel, which show the islanders' victory over the English.

In Pájara, visit the impressive parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Regla, in front of which is a Noria, a restored waterwheel driven by a donkey.

Drive to the rugged coast of Ajuy with the jet-black beach of the dead, Playa de los Muertos, and explore the lime kilns along the sea cliffs, as well as the deep caves, the Cuevas, which were used as a pirate's hideout.

In the former capital of the island Betancuria you should visit the church Nuestra Señora de la Concepción with the attached museum for sacral art and the ruins of the Convento de San Buenaventura with the Ermita San Diego.

From the 645 m high viewpoint, the Mirador de Morro Velosa, you can see the desert-like landscape of the island.
