Focus On Corralejo
Situated in the northeast corner of Fuerteventura, Corralejo has changed from the once small fishing village into a bustling, vibrant town & port.
The town has numerous small beaches but a short distance to the south lie the famous Dunes (designated as a natural park) which are just mile after mile of white sandy beaches. From these safe, clean beaches you can indulge in various sports such as Windsurfing, Kite surfing and Body boarding or just soaking up the sun with the occasional dip into the warm turquoise sea. To the west the coast is more rugged and the surfing here is definitely for a more advanced enthusiast.
Most of the shops, restaurants and bars are along the main street that runs through the town, but if you stray just a few meters off this well trodden tourist route you will find the old Corralejo. Here old style Canarian houses can be found tucked into narrow streets and lanes. This is where you will find the more Spanish traditional bars and restaurants, don’t be afraid, give your Spanish a try and the locals will be very helpful, and I’m sure you will find “tapas” a nice change from “Tandoori”. Of course if you want “Tandoori” then you can find it along with just about any other type of food from around the world.
During the day Corralejo offers something to do for everyone from Mountain biking, Buggy and Quad tours, Jeep safaris, Island tours etc. If this still does not satisfy the young, or young at heart, try the Baku water park which is much more than just wet and wild fun with a Bowling alley, Children’s park, market and a Sea Life Experience. For the golf enthusiasts try the new tricky 9 hole golf course.
Ferries ply between Lanzarote and the harbour as well as excursion boats that take tourists to the island of Lobos and to look for the sea the life that lies just off the coast. The marina is about to undergo a huge expansion programme that will see an extra 650 yacht berths. Improvements will also be made to the ferry port which is one of the busiest in the Canaries handling over 9000,000 passengers a year. Along with the yachts moving in and out of the marina there is always something to see from the many restaurants that line the shore around the bay.
Lots of visitor return time and again to Corralejo, if for no other reason than one trip is just not enough time to see and do everything.
