Trip to Fuerteventura – the most beautiful of Canaries

Fuerteventura was the first island of the Canary archipelago to emerge from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean millions of years ago.

Volcanic erosion has shaped the relief to its liking, vast plains, where the mountains form gentle waves on the ground, creating a one-of-a-kind panorama.

And why not enjoy exquisite fresh fish accompanied by the island’s gastronomic delicacies, many of which are world-renowned and have won countless awards?

The island is perfect for contemplating the night sky in many wonderful places such as  Mirador de Sicasumbre , 

With excellent conditions that have allowed the entire territory to obtain one of the three Reserve Starlight , a unique privilege in the world.

This island is perfect for traveling light and leaving full of relaxation and well-being, but how much does a week in Fuerteventura cost?

Weekly expenses for a relaxing holiday
