Manmade and designed for relaxation, this stunning beach has everything needed for a fantastic beach day out. The gently sloping sands and artificial reef located just offshore make this a popular beach with families and those looking for calmer waters. Shallow, crystal-clear waters are perfect for paddling with the family or soaking up the sun but the real adventure lies just out to see with a huge array of watersports available on the open waters.

Heading slightly south, you’ll find a collection of sweeping bays sheltered by piers and windbreakers. This beach is just as beautiful as Playa de Castillo but often not as crowded. Backed by hotels and a picturesque promenade, you’ll find the most gorgeous views here along with a great beach club on the pier - ideal for a spot of lunch and refreshing drink when taking a break from the Spanish sun.

As part of Fuerteventura, Caleta de Fuste is brimming with gorgeous dishes that are indicative of Canarian cuisine. With its roots firmly in Spanish favourites, the cuisine here also enjoys an African and South American influence due to its geographical location and its rich heritage.

One of the most famous dishes to come out of the Canary Islands is papas arragudas - otherwise known as wrinkly potatoes. Deliciously salty, these little potatoes are incredibly moreish. They are usually served with a mojo dip - great as a side dish and perfect as an afternoon snack. If you’re looking for a hearty and filling meal, puchero canario or Canarian stew is just the ticket. Made from a mix of meat, veg and garbanzo beans, this stew varies from island to island and town to town. But one thing is for sure, it shouldn’t be missed.

Finally, no trip to Fuerteventura would be complete without sampling the local cheese! Majorero is a firm goat’s milk cheese, similar in flavour to its Spanish cousin manchego.
