one typical canary village there is El Cotillo.
|
The old fishing village of El Cotillo,
situated on the north west coast of the island of
Fuerteventura, consists of a quaint old harbour, a few shops,
bars and seafood restaurants. There is very little established
tourist development here and most of the roads are dusty
tracks..The main attraction of El Cotillo are its superb
beaches. A short stroll south of the village will bring you to
superb sandy, virtually deserted beaches backed by cliffs.
Care needs to be taken here when swimming, as the currents can
be very strong.In contrast, to the north of El Cotillo, is a
unique coastline where offshore reefs of lava have created a
barrier against the ocean waves and protect quiet lagoons with
sandy beaches. The still waters of the lagoons are warm and
tranquil and attract hundreds of little fish. These are an
added attraction and this area is ideal for snorkelling.El
Cotillo, near Corralejo ,is one tourist place very much knowed
in Canary Islands ;the paradise of surfers and
wind-surfers for the particulars conditions that only
here can be found ( the wind constant blow during all
the year) and for the beautifulls seasides

Lajares landscape

Lajares
is a little inland rural village, located in the north of
Fuerteventura, just 10 minutes' drive inland from the
beach and lagoons of El Cotillo. Lajares used to be the
lace-making centre of the island and you can still see the
women practicing their art in the souvenir shop. The
village has a tiny church and close by you can see the
18th Century windmills used for grinding toasted cereals
into flour. Lajares has an example of both a molino and a
molina, which are actually just a few yards apart. These
are both to be found near to the ermita de San Antonio (St
Anthony's Chapel). Along with El Roque, Lajares is perfect
if you're seeking a sleepy rural village holiday yet be
close to some of the best unspoilt beaches in Europe, with
the convenience of a lively holiday resort (Corralejo) close by. Most visitors to Lajares go in search of the
fabulous
beaches at El Cotillo. However if you enjoy
walking then you may like to explore the route from
Lajares to the bustling town of Corralejo, where it is
possible to follow a route along the chain of volcanoes
that run between the two. . A short stroll south of the
village will bring you to superb sandy, virtually deserted
beaches backed by cliffs. The still waters of the lagoons
are warm and tranquil and attract hundreds of little fish.
