The Main Street is full of duty free shops where you can buy cosmetics, alcohol, cigarettes, electrical goods at great prices etc. There is a wonderful market on Mondays & Fridays where more bargains & gifts can be bought...be sure to bargain for a good price! Music square is definitely worth a visit in the evening. Colourful & lively, surrounded by various restaurants..you can sip Sangria & listen to local Spanish or international music. The Spanish are great for festivals and they have a special square in the old town.
The Fuerteventura region:
Fuerteventura is the 2nd largest & the nearest to Africa of the 7 Canary Islands. It has a wonderful warm & hot climate with a breeze all year round so very little humidity. Rainfall is approximately only 5/6 days in the year! Its white sandy beaches are among the very best in Europe, especially just 2km from Corralejo, where you find the beautiful National Park area with miles of unspoilt white sand dunes all around you! The Atlantic Ocean is crystal clear turquoise water, providing a wonderful contrast with the dark volcanic rocks, it attracts surfers from all over the world. It is known as the quieter island of the Canaries, relatively still wild and unspoilt. People just 'fall in love' (as we did!) with it straight away and come back again & again.
