FUERTEVENTURA, one of the 7 islands that the archipelago consist of, is located at only 100km from the Morocco's coast. With an average temperature of 25-27 Celsius degrees and almost 350 sunny days per year, this island can be literally considered paradise for those who are looking for beautiful beaches, landscapes.
THINGS TO DO...We stayed at RISCO DORADO HOTEL, located in Costa del Fuste. Double room with sea sight and all inclusive, 2 people, for approximately 295 Euros. Being honest, the hotel needs a few improvements, specially regarding buffet and night life.

Near by though, we can find a great selection of restaurants of different specialities, like local food, Indian, Thai among others. Our personal recommendation is an Indian restaurant located just at a few min walking from the hotel, El Taj. We were totally amazed with the quality of food, serving a great and flavoured food, generous portions and above all, a great customers service! The restaurant is located at the corner of Alcalde Juan Evora Suarez street and Maestro Juan Cabrera Cabrera street.
OASIS PARK...
Oasis Park, located at 48.9 Km from the hotel, it offers a great fun for all the family, including, camel ride, bath with sea lions, feeding lemurs, giraffes, elephants among other animals. Inside the zoo we can also find a restaurant providing a great menu of locals food including fresh sea food and fishes caught in the islands area.
You can enjoy the ride on camels for only 10 euros, taking you to the top of a hill from where you can admire the mountains and also the sea landscape, a mixture of colours, going from green and brown to the bright blue of the sky and see and also you can have a good fun.
The activity with Lemurs cost as well 10 euros and during almost 1h you can be surrounded by these amazing creatures, learn about their way of life, eating and communal behaviour. At the beginning they could appear a bit scary but at the end of the day they end up being very cute and loving animals. During the activity you can have the chance to feed them and if you get a bit lucky you can get one of those creatures jumping on your shoulder, perfect time to take amazing pictures for your personal memories. Also inside the park there are little shops where you can buy animals food. There are packs for giraffes, elephants and zebras for only 1.50 euros, great value for great fun!
AND OF COURSE... THE BEACH
One of the best beaches we can find in the island is located in Jandia, at about 1h drive from Caleta del Fuste. Kilometres of gold sand, bright blue skies and calm seas. The perfect place to relax and get a great skin colour to make all your friends jealous. For great relax, choose Costa Calma, you wont regret it, if you go, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
