Fuerteventura, the second largest of Spain's Canary Islands, sits in the Atlantic Ocean 10 km (6 Miles) off the north coast of Africa. It's known primarily as a holiday destination due to its white-sand beaches and year-round warmth cooled by constant winds. The multitude of beaches that wrap around it is interrupted by cliffs and sheltered coves. It is popular for water sports, especially surfing, windsurfing and waterskiing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The island's name is a compound word formed by the Spanish words for "strong" (fuerte) and "fortune" (ventura). Fuerteventura is the oldest island in the Canary Islands dating back 20 million years to a volcanic eruption from the Canary hotspot. However, the last volcanic activity in Fuerteventura occurred between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fuerteventura was chosen among 500 European destinations by the Quality Coast International Certification Program of the European Coastal and Marine Union as one of the most attractive tourist destinations for visitors interested in cultural heritage, environment, and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
