Fuerteventura - Canary Islands
With three thousand hours of sunshine a year, Fuerteventura is the
closest Canary Island to the African coast with only 100km separating
the 'Punta de la Entallada' from Cape Juby in Morroco and is the second
largest (after Tenerife) of all the islands.
 There is nowhere else in the Canaries with as many enormous sand dunes and long sandy (more than one hundred and fifty). Even though most of the land consists of stone and rock, these are some of the most impressive beaches in the whole of Europe. Approx 98km long and 30km across at the widest point.
In the
of time Fuerteventura is generally regarded as the oldest of all the
Canaries and its strange contours come from various volcanic episodes.
The last eruption occurred around 7,000 years ago so you're pretty
safe. Should you wish to see some volcanic activity take a trip to the
neighboring island of Lanzarote, it's well worth it
