Entertainment is fairly low-key, with none of the noisy holiday resorts found on other Canary Islands. Corralejo has a good selection of bars and restaurants and a couple of discos. Caleta de Fuste is a bit quieter.

Fuerteventura’s Volcanic Landscapes
Away from the coast, beaches and sand dunes, the interior of the island is volcanic and relatively barren, with its own kind of unique beauty. Like its neighbour, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura was formed by volcanic activity, (the last event was more than 7000 years ago) and it is this which gives the island its unique character.

Good Quality Resorts and Holiday Villas
The main tourism in Fuerteventura is centred in and around a few good quality Fuerteventura holiday resorts, but the island is also dotted with charming Canarian villages which are definitely worth a visit if you are exploring by car.
