Entertainment in Fuerteventura

The island is relatively untouched by mass tourism and development. So, although there are bars and some discos, the nightlife isn’t as wild as on the other island resorts, and some of the beaches are deserted by the same comparison. This allows the traveler to really get away from it all, or for families to enjoy all the island’s treasures without too much hustle and bustle.

The land is fertile, and the landscape is studded with windmills. The local produce provides simple accompaniments to meals, while adding distinctive flavours. Potato lovers will love the two styles served in local eateries.

"Papas arrugadas con mojo" are little "wrinkly potatoes" with "mojo verde" (green garlic sauce) or "mojo rojo", also called "mojo picón" (a very spicy red garlic sauce). Just as popular are the "batatas" (depending on the season) con mojo, sweet potatoes with garlic sauce. The taste of the very sweet potatoes and the very hot garlic make an interesting and harmonious combination.

Both are eaten with the high quality fresh fish and seafood choices available. Typically for island fare, the locally preferred meats are kid and lamb, as well as wild rabbit. And to satisfy the sweet tooth, churros with hot chocolate are served everywhere.

Once your appetite is satisfied, relax on Fuetreventura beaches or in your holiday home and reflect on what made this holiday stand apart. Was it the boat ride out to Lanzorate? Seeing the Green Caves, feeling the constant breeze, or traversing the natural lunar landscape. Maybe it was the camel safari in Jandia. Perhaps it was surfing in Fuerteventura, or diving of its coast. Whatever it was, enjoy it. Thank you for sharing our Grand Canary Island's Fuerteventura Tourist Information Guide.
