THE ISLAND OF FUERTEVENTURA
With three thousand hours of sunshine a year, Fuerteventura is the closest Canary Island to the African coast with only 100km separating the 'Punta de la Entallada' from Cape Juby in Morroco and is the second largest (after Tenerife) of all the islands.
The weather conditions of Fuerteventura are very similar to Florida and Mexico which are on the same latitude, but without the humidity, making this the ideal holiday location.
There is nowhere else in the Canaries with as many golden sand dunes and long sandy beaches (more than one hundred and fifty). Even though most of the land consists of stone and rock, these are some of the most impressive beaches in the whole of Europe. Approx 98km long and 30km across at the widest point.
In the history of time Fuerteventura is generally regarded as the oldest of all the Canaries and its strange contours come from various volcanic episodes. The last eruption occurred around 7,000 years ago so you're pretty safe. Should you wish to see some volcanic activity take a trip to the neighboring island of Lanzarote, it's well worth it. Ferries leave regularly from the harbour in Corralejo & the crossing takes around 25 mins. You can also take a short boat trip over to the small island of Los Lobos (only 6sqkm) and really get away from it all.
Water sports are very popular in Fuerteventura. Every year hundreds of surfers, windsurfers and divers descend on Fuerteventura and during July the island is host to the P.W.A world windsurfing speed and slalom event at Sotavento in the south.
There are many new attractions inviting tourists to discover different aspects of the Island's landscape and culture such as the Betancuria Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography and Tefia Craft Village to name but a few.

| Corralejo Parque Natural area |
CORRALEJO
Corralejo, situated in the north of Fuerteventura, is one of the most popular resorts on the island. It was once a small fishing village, but has now grown into a lively colourful town.
Luckily, Corralejo has managed to retain its original charm and atmosphere, and there are still white sandy beaches in the town centre, where you can 'drop down' and soak up the Canarian sunshine.
Most of the shops, bars and restaurants are along the Corralejo main street which leads right down through the music square and on to the harbour which looks across the other side of town and the sand dunes.
These dunes (which are a protected nature reserve) lie just beyond the town. The dunes spread for miles along the east coast and this is what makes Corralejo such a popular resort.
Corralejo caters for all ages and there's a wide variety of things to do, from watersports, tennis, Glass bottom boat trips, Ferry trips to Lanzarote, Jeep Safaris, Island tours, Mountainbiking, Motorbike tours etc.
The Baku Water Park provides hours of fun for the whole family.

Further details outdoors: THE COMPLEX
Mirador de Las Dunas is a residential complex situated in a front-line position to the beautiful, protected sand dunes of Corralejo, with unimpeded views of the sea & the islands of Lobos & Lanzarote. It is bordered by protected park land & also has panoramic mountain views.
It is a gated community & has a large communal pool area with a wonderful lagoon style swimming pool, a smaller shallow pool for children & a hot tub.
As the complex is residential, it is amazingly quiet and tranquil, so it is the perfect place to literally 'get away from it all', but with the benefit of the lively bars & restaurants in Corralejo centre, plus the famous sand dunes beaches only a few minutes drive away.
The location is approximately 30 mins drive from the international airport in the capital of Puerto del Rosario and approximately 5 mins by car into the main resort of Corralejo (about 5 Euros in a taxi). The nearest supermarket is approx 10 mins walk away.
The famous sand dune beaches are approx 5 mins drive, though there are some lovely beaches in and around Corralejo which are clean & safe for small chilren.
There are many other lovely beaches on the island, including the lagoons at El Cotillo (about 20 mins drive) and also some lovely places to visit in the Canarian villages. The roads are extremely good and never crowded - driving around the island is a pretty relaxing experience & well worth the effort!
