Quite a few of my traveling friends live in Europe, so their travels seem to be so much more exotic. Following their conversations I see names of places I have never even heard of before, which only whets my appetite to explore the world.
Last week I was watching a discussion play out about whether or not Fuerteventura holidays would be good for families. I looked at the name a few times, because I was sure I was reading “Futurama”. After realizing I was not, in fact, reading about a sci-fi cartoon and hearing that Fuerteventura is a lovely place for a family break, my curiosity got the best of me and I had to find out where this place was.
Fuerteventura
Apparently Fuerteventura is the largest, and supposedly flattest, of the Canary Islands, which lie off the east coast of Africa. Fuerteventura has a relaxed pace and is said to have the best beaches in the Canaries. Beautiful warm days make water sports a favored past time, with windsurfing being incredibly popular. As you would imagine of an island, fresh fish dishes are said to be spectacular, and the Spanish and Greek influences on the Canarian cuisine combine to give the local cuisine a flavor all its own.
The family friendly resort of Caleta de Fuste has all inclusive holidays that include golf, fun kids activities, relaxing evenings and sunny days on a protected beach. It looks heavenly, even to a non-beach person like me.
