Corralejo holidays are incredibly popular with tourists, yet this pretty town has maintained its rustic charm. The former fishing village has preserved some of its traditional cottages, low-rise buildings, winding streets and beautiful sand dunes. Though June temperatures can hit 29°C in Corralejo, it retains a salubrious weather forecast all year round. Go windsurfing and kite-boarding at the Grandes Playas nature park or simply soak in the sun under a parasol on the broad golden beaches. Located 41km from Fuerteventura airport, you'll enjoy the beautiful coastline full of sand dunes and the volcanic landscape around Montaña Roja. Visit the busy resort of Caleta de Fuste, a watersports paradise 45km away, filled with swanky resorts and hotels.
In the evenings, Corralejo's main street Avenida del Generalisimo Franco buzzes with life. The town's ecstatic crowds can be found milling to and from local music bars and stylish clubs like Waikiki and Club Estrella. When hunger strikes, peck at traditional Spanish tortilla or flavourful goat’s cheese and wash it down with a glass of Sangria or Ron Miel, (honey rum) at the little cafes dotting the streets of the town.
On your holidays in Corralejo, you can also take a private sail boat to swim and snorkel in the beautiful bays dotted around the island. It's worth exploring the lesser-known islets such as Los Lobobs, where you can take a 15-minute boat trip and enjoy first-class snorkelling at the deserted island. If you like nature, Parque Natural de las Dunas de Corralejo (the site where The Dictator was shot), is a natural reserve for birds, lizards and desert rabbits.
Essential Information: When you go and what you’ll need
The beaches of Corralejo are known to have some of the best surf in Europe, so whether you're an expert or just adventurous, grab a board and ride some waves. There are several surfing schools on standby to give you a hand improving your technique and to lend you the right gear.
Lounge on Los Lobos
Take the pleasant 15-minute boat ride to Los Lobos, for the perfect day of sun, sea and snorkelling. The deserted island has some of the best snorkelling in the Canaries, alongside flora and fauna you won’t find anywhere else in the world. If you don’t fancy snorkelling, exploring the island by foot is equally as enjoyable.
Party on!
Corralejo claims the best party scene on the island and its many pubs, bars and clubs cater to everyone. There are karaoke nights, parties, pub quizzes and great local DJ nights to choose from, or if you want to relax and watch the sun go down with a cocktail in hand, there are plenty of chic, chilled out bars too. Music Square is a must-visit where you'll find everything from local bands to fire dancers!
Head to the Backstreets
If you follow the yellow tapas sign at the end of the harbour you'll be on the trail of the traditional tapas bars hidden in the backstreets. Here you'll find a wide selection of authentic food made up of fresh fish and delicious papas arrugadas; a Canarian delicacy of new potatoes with a fresh, spicy dip.
