Why Fuerteventura?
Answering this difficult question would be a bit like explaining why you fall in love with a beautiful woman at some point in your life. Fuerteventura embodies too many beautiful things and inevitably you end up falling in love with it.
Personally, I found in Fuerteventura many characteristic scents of Seville, the city where I did my Erasmus plus during my university period, but with all the beauty of the Canary Islands. The feeling of familiarity intertwined with the charm of a new environment creates a unique and enchanting experience.
In addition to the familiar scents and the allure of the Canary Islands, there’s the embrace of the sea, the dunes, and the unexpected arrival of spring in the midst of winter. Fuerteventura offers a symphony of natural beauty and experiences to be discovered.
On my first Christmas trip, I was not only enchanted by the island as a whole but was utterly struck by two specific places: El Cotillo and Playa de Cofete. El Cotillo on Christmas Eve seemed like a dream: few people around, especially young couples, nestled amidst gift shops, surf shops, and restaurants with a mesmerizing sea view. The warm Canary sun and the tranquility of the surroundings created a sense of wonder and tranquility. It was truly magical.
Then came the awe-inspiring Playa de Cofete. On Christmas Day, the journey through the 20 km dirt road to reach this spectacular beach was an experience in itself. On the beach there was many people, young and old, who had chosen the breathtaking beauty of the beach over the opulence of Christmas feasts. It was a sight to behold, and the energy of joy and relaxation was palpable in the air.
Fuerteventura is not just an island; it’s a tapestry of experiences, emotions, and natural wonders that captivate and enchant all who embrace its shores. It’s a place where memories are woven with the threads of tranquility, adventure, and the sheer beauty of the island life.
