Holidays from the Island

Island exploring - Gran Tarajal

• Print

Gran Tarajal itself is well worth a visit - Gran Tarajal is Fuerteventura’s second biggest town and is situated in the south-east of the island. It's a lively authentic Canarian coastal town with a friendly vibe, excellent town beaches, good restaurants and a surprising artistic side.

Fuerteventura at its best.

Just 50 miles from Saharan Africa, the island of Fuerteventura has a breath taking, barren beauty. Despite the volcanic terrain, it has some of the best beaches in the Canary Islands - miles and miles of largely deserted sandy beaches. Golden drifts of sand, like fine-spun silk, ripple towards the sparkling shore. Goats are herded across arid plains dotted with windmills. And long-dead volcanoes, scarred and deformed, pierce the virtually cloudless sky.

A little bit of history.

Fuerteventura currently counts approximately 80.000 habitants and is the oldest island of the Canary Archipelago.
It is a pacific island with numerous hidden and isolated places. The extensive beaches and turquoise coloured ocean being an ideal holiday place for all who are seeking silence, relaxation, sun and sand. With a distance of about 100 km to Cabo Juby (Western Sahara) it is the Canary Island lying closest to the African continent. As with all the other islands of the Canary Archipelago it has its origin in the volcanic activity on the floor of the ocean thousands of years ago.
