Big Waves in El Cotillo Big Waves in El Cotillo are not that unusual in winter. After all, there is nothing between north America and the west coast of Fuerteventura for 3500 miles. They are spectacular at times and attract quite a crowd to watch the big ocean waves crash onto the rocks and beaches…

Finding the long, lost, source of the Tababaire
Intrepid and dangerous expedition to find the long, lost, source of the Tababaire, Fuerteventura. Definitely off the beaten track.

Fuerteventura Surf Spots – Corralejo

Shattered Dreams – Villa Charlotte, Aguas Verdes, Fuerteventura
Villa Charlotte This villa is a very sad sight and represents a family’s shattered dreams. It is in a wonderful position with amazing coastal views but that may have been its downfall. It was lived in, and probably built by, an English family, possibly from the Liverpool area. It may be that, although they had…
