FUERTEVENTURA ISLAND MAP
The Canary Islands, although technically coming under Spain and part of the EU, are autonomous with their own government and taxation systems. The 7 islands are split into 2 different communities - the islands of La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro, and Tenerife come under the legislation of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with the islands of LANZAROTE, FUERTEVENTURA and Gran Canaria coming under Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
All the Canary Islands are volcanic in origin (with the most recent eruptions taking place over 200 years ago) and all have very different landscapes. Fuerteventura enjoys a mild, dry climate with average daytime temperatures from around 21°C in January to 29°C in August with weather very similar to Florida and Mexico. With over 3000 hours of sunshine a year, Fuerteventura is the ideal choice as a holiday destination at ANY time of year!
The landscapes of Fuerteventura are varied - barren countryside, volcanic contours, desert areas and palm tree havens, black, white and golden sandy beaches, turquoise lagoons and stark rocky coves pounded by white frothy seas.
Wildlife is varied and plentiful - from the endangered Houbara Bustard, to Barbery Squirrels (Chipmunks) and an amazing variety of marine life. It is possible to see turtles and flying fish regularly, with sightings of whales and dolphins being a rare treat.
