La Isla Fuerteventura

Map of fuerteventura

Fuerteventura (pronounced: [fweɾteβenˈtuɾa]; loosely translated as "Strong Winds" or a corruption of the French term for "Great Adventure")[1] is one of the Canary Islands, in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa, politically part of Spain. At 1,660 square kilometres (641 sq mi), it is the second largest of the Canary Islands, after Tenerife. It was declared a biosphere reserve by

Population

The island has a population of 74,983.[9] Throughout its long history, Fuerteventura has suffered from a population decline due to the economic situation and the climate, which have made it into a desert island. However, the development of tourism during the 1980s has caused the population to grow year on year since then, doubling it in a little less than a decade.
I visited this beautiful Island for 9 days. It has the most interresting moutains and endless beaches. I travelled from Morro Jable all the way trough the middle to the highest point and to the north to Corralejo, where i could see the Island Lanzarotte very near. 
Roads are carved in to the mountains and on the other side of Costa Calma is the famous beach Cofete.
