MORE ABOUT FUERTEVENTURA
Taste Canarian Classic

Its main features are its freshness, variety, simplicity, and the richness of its ingredients. Canarian cuisine is influenced by other cultures, specially the aboriginal inhabitants of the islands and Latin American cuisine but some African influences still prevail as well. Mojo is a sauce served with many dishes, which is made mainly of oil, garlic, vinegar and several other spices. Their recipes are the base of the mojos of Latin America, especially Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela, due to heavy Canarian emigration, and have also influenced the cuisines of the non-Hispanic Caribbean islands.

Enjoy The Diversity Of Parque Natural De Corralejo
Corralejo Natural Park is the best place to go to enjoy the desert beauty of Fuerteventura. This coastal zone, measuring 2.5 by 10.5 kilometres, is located in the north-east of the island and has two contrasting but nevertheless harmonious sides. In the north, alongside the large tourist resort of Corralejo is the biggest dune spread in the whole of the Canary Islands; an enormous extension of white sands bathed by the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. To the south, the opposite awaits: a volcanic landscape, red and ochre, dramatic and rugged
One of the most popular parks for nature hikes on the island is the Parque Natural de Corralejo which lies along the west coast, just south of the town, Corralejo. And another top wildlife-spotting activity is visiting Montana Roja, meaning Red Mountain, which is a long-dormant volcanic cone.
