I didn’t expect Fuerteventura to feel so layered — almost like multiple small worlds stitched together by wind and ocean.
Calderón Hondo
Hiking up the volcano during sunset is one of my best memories from my trip to fuerte. Me and my friends brought a pack of beers, no internet connection, just sitting there watching the magnificent view -- endless desert, shadows stretching across the island... It's the ultimate feeling of being peaceful and being in the moment.
La Laguna beach & Punta Elena beach
Raw, hardcore rocky reefs for surfers! I spent most of my time around La Laguna surfing. For anyone who's up for a surf trip in fuerte, better go during swell season (Oct- Mar). Also, this island is a famous kite-surfing spot.
La Oliva & Lajares
Where you can experience the most of Canary vibe! My first night there was unforgettable because locals had a bonfire party to celebrate the full moon. People were chanting in Spanish and expressing their gratitude towards mother nature.
And the local music jam was cool, as well! Although I still can't be quite sure about the genre of this music LOL.
Parque Natural de Corralejo
My all-time favorite! This place has everything - dunes on the left of the highway and beach on the other side. I spent a lot of sunsets here, playing beach volleyball, sandboarding on the dunes. My friends and I had a lot of deep talk here, imagine sitting on the dunes watching the burning sun slowly coming down... these are the memories that will stay in my head forever and ever.
Isla de Lobos
La isla bonita! We went on a sailboat trip to celebrate one of my friends' birthday. We jumped straight into crystal water and watching fish pass underneath us. Everything was so dreamy and I did a belly flip when jumping off the boat.
Plus, Isla de lobos is a really good surfing spot, less people, better scene and bigger waves.

Most of the time I stayed in the north of Fuerteventura but next time I will for sure try the south. This island is just.. WOW.
