Cheap Car Rental Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura is the second biggest Canary Island just 60 miles off the Moroccan coast and is made up of miles and miles of sandy beaches along turquoise Atlantic Ocean water, attracting thousands of surfers, scuba divers and other adventurers from all over the world.

Compared to other Canary Islands Fuerteventura has slightly meager vegetation, giving the visitor the impression he went to a desert island. Since distances between towns are quite big and there is nothing but countryside in between, renting a car is a good idea in order to be mobile enough to explore the island. There is a public transport network, but it only serves the major towns, and the real charm of the island is the remote dirt roads, taking you to vast steppe lands in blue and yellow. The absence of noise and hustle has extraordinarily relaxing effects on anyone whose everyday life does not include the mellow sound of the ocean and the wind, the brilliant blue of a sunny sky, and the soft feel of sand under your feet.

On the northern shore of the island you will find Corralejo, a harbor town and the biggest tourist resort on Fuerteventura. When night falls the central Plaza gets crowded as tourists and locals gather in pubs and bars, and during the day there is hardly any activity you cannot partake in. Numerous surfing schools help you find your skills on the board, there is scuba diving, snorkeling, and sailing, and if you’re not the biggest fan of water you can rent mountain bikes and head out into the country or simply stroll along the sunny avenues and take in the southern flair and colorful architecture.
Ferries to Isla de Lobos, a small offshore island, and Lanzarote take off from the habor, and from Punta de Corralejo you get a great view of both.
Should the downtown beaches be too busy for your taste, just get in your car and go to Playas de Corralejo, a four mile-long beach just 2.5 miles outside the town. After a few hours of swimming and tanning, get back in your can and go to Montana Roja, a 1025 ft volcano south of the island, shimmering red against the blue sky.

For the best souvenirs on the island go to Lajares in the south-west and visit the Escuela de Artesania Canaria, the Canary Art School. Here you can purchase superbly crafted art objects like traditional ceramics and fancy embroidery.
From Lajares it is just a short ride to El Cotillo on the west coast. The beach town is particularly popular among surfers, as the surf is strong and consistent. El Cotillo also features an old defense tower, the Castillo de Toston.
Should the Castillo awaken your appetite for some culture, go to La Oliva just south-east of El Cotillo. The name is derived from the olive groves surrounding the town, once the capital of the island. There are historic, representative buildings and an art center, the Centro de Arte Canario, located in the Casa Mané. Spread over a number of buildings and a big garden you will find art specific to this region like ceramics, sculptures, lithography, as well as literature. They all tell stories about love and life on the island and will help you understand the locals and their traditions a little better.
The underground shop offers plenty of opportunities to take home a small cultural treasure,

Situated on the east coast Puerto del Rosario is the biggest city on the island, a small metropolis with a great buzz. The beautiful seafront promenade, Avenida de los Reyes de Espana, is popular among locals and visitors alike, and you can spend a couple of days exploring the town and going on shopping sprees.
Puerto del Rosario is the perfect base for a lot of daytrips into the country. Taking your rental car further south will get to Caleta de Fustes, containing the best-preserved defense tower on the island. The Castillo de Fustes sits above the picturesque bay Playa del Castillo and makes for a great holiday snapshot especially during sunset.
Even further south from here you should stop in La Lajita to visit the Oasis Park, a botanical garden, zoo, and camel farm.

Crossing the southern part of Fuerteventura you will discover fascinating landscapes, dominated by gigantic sand dunes, waiting to be climbed. The area around Risco del Paso is the best example of this kind of scenery.
All over the southern shore you will find gorgeous beaches, some of them remote, some of them with plenty of entertainment. Between Jandia Playa and Morro Jable both are represented on a 2.5 mile stretch of sand and you are bound to find your own personal favorite beach.
