Being the oldest of the Canary Islands – it sprung up from the seabed some 22 million years ago – Fuerteventura moves at a relaxed pace. Its volcanic mountains undulate rather than peak and its yellow-ochre landscape cascades into the sea around expanses of creamy-coloured sand.
That’s not to say there’s not plenty of action-packed activities, rather, everything here exudes a laid-back vibe. The island is more or less a desert and receives limited rainfall and plentiful sunshine, meaning you’re pretty much guaranteed beautiful beach weather at any time of the year.
