Tourist guide: what to do and see in Fuerteventura
A real piece of heaven on earth
Kilometres of unbeatable beaches and places where peace becomes a distinguishing feature among the world's unique and natural ecosystems are reasons why Fuerteventura was considered as a Biosphere Reserve in 2009. The island's history is marked by the fusion of cultures that can still be enjoyed on its landscapes, in its gastronomy, and in the spirit of the islanders. Welcome to heaven on earth! Welcome to Fuerteventura!
