On Fuerteventura, surfers and sun lovers find their El Dorado. With its warm climate and nice sandy beaches the island of Fuerteventura provides the perfect background for a relaxing holiday. No matter if one likes to practise aquatic sports or just bathe in the sun, “Fuerte” has lots of regular guests, for the flight to the Canary Islands doesn’t take long and sunshine is always guaranteed. It is no problem finding discount car rental companies offering cheap rental cars. Once you arrive at the airport of Puerto del Rosario you can rent a cheap car. From there, your Fuerteventura rental car takes you for example to the southern part of the island, where many tourists are attracted by nice beaches and therefore numerous hotels and appartments can be found. Especially popular with visitors is the Jandia peninsula with its particularly fine sandy beaches. Basically, the island has not so much to offer in terms of culinary specialties or sights, still an excursion with a rental car from a car hire in Fuerteventura can be very interesting. | Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Canary Islands, its narrow shape allowing to drive astonishingly long distances. A visit to the north with its cliffs and steep mountain roads is an option for an excursion, the most interesting part of the way being the curvaceous road between Betancuria and Pájara. In this section you should drive carefully with your rental car, there are many narrows passages. On the way you find the small but historic pilgrimage church of Vega de Rio de Palmas, and also the hightest palm trees of the islands.
The historic capital city of Betancuria with the Santa Maria cathedral and an adjacent museum is equally worthwhile. A typical souvenir from Fuerteventura are the handworks from the Nativida Lopez embroidery in Lajares. This town in the north lies somewhat remote between La Oliva and Corralejo and is also well reachable by rental car. |
