Our best tips for planning your trip 🗺️
- Transportation
The bus network offers regular connections between major towns and tourist areas. Renting a car is recommended for exploring secluded beaches and volcanic landscapes at your own pace. - Language
Spanish is the official language. Most people in the tourist sector also speak English, with some understanding German. Learning a few phrases in Spanish, like "Hola" for hello or "Gracias" for thank you, might be appreciated. - Beaches
The beaches are diverse, ranging from wide stretches of white sand to more secluded coves. Water sports like surfing and kitesurfing are popular due to the ideal wind conditions. - Gastronomy
Make sure to try local dishes, such as "gofio" and fresh fish. Restaurants cater to all budgets, from affordable tapas to gourmet dining. - Currency
The euro is the currency used. Card payments are widely accepted, but it's smart to carry some cash for markets and small shops. - Swimsuit and beach towel to enjoy the stunning beaches
- High protection sunscreen to shield from the sun
- Hat and sunglasses for extra protection
- Light and breathable clothing to cope with the heat
- A small backpack for day trips
- Hiking boots if planning to explore volcanic landscapes
- Camera to capture unforgettable moments
- Travel guidebook or app on mobile to discover top spots
- Car rental recommended for exploring the island at your own pace
The best time to visit Fuerteventura is usually between March and November, when the weather is warm and sunny.
Marvel at the endless golden sandy beaches, perfect for relaxation and water sports, like at Playa de Sotavento. Explore the wild beauty of the Corralejo dunes, a stunning landscape where desert meets ocean. Discover local culture in Betancuria, a charming historical village offering a glimpse into Canarian life of the past. For an outdoor adventure, hike in the Jandía Natural Park or visit the volcano at Tindaya Mountain. Finally, enjoy the local craft markets to bring back a unique souvenir.
