Corralejo

Perhaps the most well known of Fuerteventura's towns as this is now the islands largest and busiest tourist resort. Vast demands of tourism means the resort is ever changing and growing. Most of the resorts restaurants, bars and shops are lined along the main street that runs down into Corralejo and ending in a maze of small streets by the seafront. It's here by night that the livlier restaurants and bars are with live music each night in the square found there, along with more traditional restaurants hidden in the smaller side streets.

Along the main street as you enter the resort, there's a daily market selling everything from local produce to souveniers and in the same location, popular early in the evenings is a childrens play area with small rides, playground and bouncy castles.

The harbour - as well as home to the local fisherman and yacht owners and day-cruise ships, it is also port of call for ferry services; an hourly service to the neighbouring island of Lanzarote, just 35 minutes away.

Directly behind Corralejo is a protected (since 1960) nature park which is a vast area of golden sand dunes and ideallic beaches. There's quite a selection of beaches along the edge of the dunes, some ideal for families, others for naturists and others popular with windsurfers.
