Corralejo offers a great variety of good restaurants to appreciate local and international cuisine, many of them along a promenade overlooking the sea,There is a wide choice of nice shops and Supermarkets. A bus service operates throughout the Island, and a boat leaves hourly sailing to Lanzarote (18 min journey).

The night life is great ,with a variety of bars offering life music, or a quiet drink depending on mood. There are international banks too.
Kite surfing, wind-surfing, sailing, scuba diving:
Fuerteventura is well known for the spectacular beaches and sun dunes of the Parque Natural, which is approx. 500 m away from Casa Velero, stretching for 14 km. the Rocky Point (one of the best surfing spots in Canaries) is five minutes walking another five and you are in Flag Beach one of the 'hot' spots for windsurfing and kite surfing in Europe. Carry on into Oliva Beach with its gorgeous dunes and you have your day. Some people come to Fuerteventura just to see this breathtaking Natural Park. Organized trips to do scuba diving, sailing, Jet ski, etc. is just 400 m away from Casa Velero. If you stay longer than a week, renting a car will allow you to see other beautifull places in this exotic Island. In the south, Cofete is a unique sight and the inside of the Island with its old capital city Antigua or the postcard beauty of Betancuria make worth a day in car, driving through gentle hills of volcanic origin.
