Fuerteventura - not so windy

Happy new year! We spent near two weeks on the Canary island of Fuerteventura. Fuerteventura is probably the one of the Canary Islands with the most sand per tourist… Excellent for a relaxed beach holiday, good eating and good walks.

If you go to Fuerteventura, I suggest you following walks:

From Morro Jable:

Walk to Pico de la Zarza: A good walk up to 807 meters, where the winds may be dreadful, but where the views are excellent. Careful about that edge though, especially with a gale in your back... It's several hundred meters STRAIGHT down. The walk follows a clear path from behind the Hotel Riu Ventura. Use the instructions found in Noel Rochford's Landscapes of Fuerteventura. Estimated time: 3 1/2 hours return.

Walk through Grand Valle to Cofete: Take the dirt road south from Morro Jable, then head up the Grand Valle after about 4 kilometers. Use the instructions found in Noel Rochford's Landscapes of Fuerteventura. Be sure to spot the indigenous Jandia Thistle on the way. When you are on the top of the pass, take a rest and continue down on the other side, to Cofete. There you can ask a tourist driving back to Morro Jable to take you. Take care of lonely german tourists who think dirt roads are Autobahns (!). Estimated time: 4 hours + return.

And from Costa Calma:

Walk up the coastline from Costa Calma to Morro Jable: Here you have several options. You can walk the whole stretch (or as much of it as you like) and return the same way, or you can the the bus back from Morro Jable to Costa Calma. Estimated time for the whole stretch: 3 hours one way, swimming not included!
