Tourist Guide Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura, a part of the Canary Islands, is located in Spain. Situated in the Atlantic Ocean along the coast of Africa, the exotic island is the second largest of the Canary Islands and has a population of around 79,000 inhabitants.
The island has a mild Mediterranean climate, characterised by plenty of sunshine and very little rainfall. Trade winds alleviate temperatures; sandstorms are quite prominent.
Initially inhabited by the Guanches, the city was known as Herbania. This was followed by the island being taken over by the French. In 1912, the Canary Islands obtained the right to self-govern.
The inhabitants of Fuerteventura are known as the ‘Mahorero’.
