We left Cardiff airport and flew to the Island of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands. Our base for our visit was the small town of Caleta de Fuste.
We decided to rent a car and explore the island. We drove to the South of the island to the town of Morro Jable. We stopped off for lunch and changed into our swim suits and hit the beach, as we sat there relaxing it dawn on that we were in the middle of a nudist beach !
The following day we drove North to Carralejo where the ferry runs to the island of Lanzarote.
We the drove to over the mountains to Cotillo where we walked along the seafront to the look out Tower (De Rico Roque.)
We drove on via Antigua to La Guirra where there is a monument to a whale's skeleton.
The following day we drove up to the mountain area of Betancuria which is a National park, the roads were steep and twisty but the views were dramatic. We came upon the village of Pajara, a typical Spanish village were we stopped off for a coffee where they only spoke Spanish, but we got by.
We drove on to the coastal Village of Ajury, were we stopped of for lunch, local fresh fish with Canarian potatoes. We then moved on to Playa de Garcey on the West coast of the Island, which is home to the shipwreck of teh American Star Ocean Liner.
