A walk around Puerto del Rosario, the capital of Fuerteventura
I had yet another dental appointment, with more to come, so went for a walk through a part of the Fuerteventura capital first. I went through the pedestrian area and then down to the port and along the front.
I believe some years ago it was called Puerto de la Cabra - the port of the goat but it was changed to make it more tourist appealing. I think they should change it back.
I also visit a lime kiln by the beach.

At 1,660 square kilometers (641 square miles), it is the second largest of the Canary Islands, after Tenerife.
Fuerteventura | Puerto del Rosario - The Island Capital City
Around 5 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from Caleta de Fuste and half an hour south of Corralejo, the Island Capital of Puerto del Rosario is very centraly located.
Since 1860, this has been the capital of Fuerteventura, following Antigua and Betancuria. Originally known as Puerto de Cabras (Port of the Goats), Puerto del Rosario was fairly unremarkable and insignificant, good for little besides exporting goats.
In 1960's people starting migrating from rural areas to the capital, followed by another population increase in the 1970's due to decolonization of Northern Africa, making Puerto del Rosario the new home of the Spanish Foreign Legion.

It’s known primarily as a holiday destination due to its white-sand beaches and year-round warmth cooled by constant winds. The multitude of beaches that wrap around it are interrupted by cliffs and sheltered coves. It's popular for water sports, especially surfing, windsurfing and waterskiing. There is a theory, although for many a legend, which says that the Canary Islands, among which of course is Fuerteventura were part of the lost civilization of Atlantis. Fuerteventura was chosen among 500 European destinations by the Quality Coast International Certification Program of the European Coastal and Marine Union as one of the most attractive tourist destinations for visitors interested in cultural heritage, environment and sustainability. The climate on Fuerteventura is pleasant throughout the year. The island is hence referred to as the island of eternal spring. The sea regulates air temperature, diverting hot Sahara winds away from the island. The island's name in English translates as strong fortune or strong wind, the Spanish word for wind being viento. During the winter months, temperatures average a high of 22 °C (72 °F) and a low of around 15 °C (59 °F), whereas during the summer a mean high of 28 °C (82 °F) and a low of 20 °C (68 °F) can be expected. Precipitation is about 147 mm (6 in) per year, most of which falls in autumn and winter. December is the month with highest rainfall.
A sandstorm known as the Calima (similar to the Sirocco wind, which blows to the North of the Sahara, to Europe) may blow from the Sahara Desert to the Northwest, and can cause high temperatures, low visibility and drying air. Temperatures during this phenomenon rise temporarily by approximately 10 degrees Celsius. The wind brings in fine red dust, The fine white sand is not blown in from Sahara, It is made up of dead coral reef and local seabed upheaval. visibility can drop to between 100 to 200 m (328.08 to 656.17 ft) or even lower and can even bring African locusts to the island. The cuisine is fairly basic due to the customs and climate conditions. They share this simplicity with the other Canary islands, and similarly to them, they use a large quantity of fish. They also use whatever they can grow in the near-barren land. This includes papas arrugadas, a dish of wrinkled potatoes usually served with mojo, which is a hot pepper sauce or with puchero canario, a meat stew.
Seafood is prepared in many ways traditionally, such as pejines (salted fish),[29] jareas,[30] or sancocho (a type of stew) made from fish, generally the grouper,[31] corvina or sama, boiled after salting, and served with mojo, potatoes, or gofio (a type of grain). People are also very keen on the mussels and limpets collected on the island's coasts.
They also use meat such as beef and pork to make different dishes or simply to for braising, but their main meat is goat, both from the kids and from the older animals. They eat the goat roasted or stewed. Goats are not only useful for their meat - the Fuerteventurans also use the milk to make the cheese majorero, which has won many prizes. The majorero is mostly made of goats milk, and occasionally it is up to 15% ewes milk. It is cured in pimento oil or gofio meal. Majorero and palmero cheese are the only two Canarian cheeses with protected denomination of origin. Corralejo is a town on the northeast coast of Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands of Spain. It's known for Corralejo Natural Park, featuring windy, dune-backed beaches like Playa del Moro. The park is home to endangered wildlife and Montaña Roja, a volcano with panoramic views. The town, a former fishing village, is dotted with eateries and bars. Nearby Lobos Island is a nature preserve with rare birds. Thanks to the large expat population, the town has a diverse population that varies from the local Spaniard, to the Irish, British, German and Finnish people who have settled in the resort. The area has 7 miles (11 km) of fine sand starting 2 miles (3.2 km) outside of Corralejo, alongside some smaller bays across the coast. In addition, there are several miles of sand dunes located nearby, which have been designated as a nature reserve. The waters around Corralejo are clear and an intense shade of blue, but are affected by strong currents. The town's beaches are somewhat more sheltered and have a band of volcanic rock along the shoreline.

Dunas de Corralejo. Parque Natural de Corralejo, Fuerteventura.
El Parque Natural Corralejo constituye un espacio de peculiares características, que alberga un campo de arenas (Dunas) como unidad geomorfológica representativa y de gran interés científico; conforma además un paisaje de excepcionales valores en buen estado de conservación.
Estas grandes dunas tienen un origen orgánico ya que provienen de la disgregación y pulverización de conchas de moluscos y bivalvos y de otros organismos marinos con esqueleto externo rígido. Bajo las dunas encontramos el típico malpaís, esa acumulación de rocas volcánicas de filos y bordes muy cortantes, que están completamente ocultados por varios metros de espesor de fina arena blanca.
Tiene una superficie de más de 2.600 ha, todas ellas cubiertas de fina arena blanca en forma de dunas, y limita con la costa este del norte de Fuerteventura, en la que se encuentran largas playas con agua de color turquesa.
Es muy fácil acceder a este Parque Natural ya que la carretera que une la Puerto del Rosario con Corralejo, lo atraviesa (FV-1). En esta carretera es posible estacionar el coche y observar in situ las grandes dunas de esta zona, además de algunas de las mejores playas de la isla.
Al acceder a este Parque Natural desde Puerto del Rosario, por la carretera FV-1, vamos dejando a la derecha el mar, donde encontramos una serie de playas paradisíacas de arena blanca y agua turquesa (Ver Sección PLAYAS de esta Web), y a la izquierda se encuentra una gran extensión de dunas formadas por arena de naturaleza orgánica y favorecidas por el clima desértico que domina la isla.

CORRALEJO SAND DUNES, FUERTEVENTURA, CANARY ISLANDS, PLACES TO VISIT FUERTEVENTURA
CORRALEJO SAND DUNES, FUERTEVENTURA, CANARY ISLANDS, PLACES TO VISIT FUERTEVENTURA, Corralejo is a town and resort located on the northern tip of Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands, facing the smaller islet of Lobos. It is in the municipality of La Oliva. It is surrounded to the north and east by the Atlantic Ocean, by dunes to the south and by arid desert land to the west that leads to the western coast and El Cotillo. Once a traditional fishing village, the town has grown significantly and today is one of the two main tourist towns on the island of Fuerteventura. Thanks to the large expat population, the town has a diverse population that varies from the local Spaniard, to the Irish, British, German and Finnish people who have settled in the resort.
The area has 7 miles (11 km) of fine sand starting 2 miles (3.2 km) outside of Corralejo, alongside some smaller bays across the coast. In addition, there are several miles of sand dunes located nearby, which have been designated as a nature reserve. The waters around Corralejo are clear and an intense shade of blue, but are affected by strong currents. The town's beaches are somewhat more sheltered and have a band of volcanic rock along the shoreline. Corralejo has existed for most of its history as a humble and unimportant fishing village, where a handful of poor fishermen worked long hours to provide for their families. In the early 1970s, with its extraordinary beaches and expansive dunes, the tourism that had arrived in the south of the island in the 1960s began to venture north. Corralejo had very humble beginnings as a tourist resort. John Mercer, who visited the then village in the early 1970s as research for a book on the island, left a record of the humble first steps Corralejo took into the tourist industry:
The village, however, unattractive and quite without interest. Why anyone should wish to spend any time there until its development is over and the dust and noise have died down is not clear.. a visitor or a purchaser can wake up any day to find a house or a hotel starting a metre or two away. -John Mercer, Canary Islands: Fuerteventura. 1973
Mercer prophetically said that Corralejo would long be simply a spreading building site, dominated by concrete mixers, lorries, floating discarded cement bags, falling rubble and staring whistling oafs. Tourism continued to develop in the town through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, reaching a peak in the 2000s. Hotels, apartments and villas sprang up. Many British and Irish tourists fell in love with the resort and felt happy to relocate there permanently. In the decades following Mercer's account of Corralejo's tourist development, that same growth of the tourist industry saw the population of Corralejo and the La Oliva region grow significantly. In the 1975 census the population of La Oliva was 2,900, with that population now just above 25,000. Corralejo is serviced by a bus service (both public and chartered) and by a local taxi service operated by the region of La Oliva. The public bus service (Tiadhe) operates a bus service from the island's capital Puerto del Rosario (number 6), and from Puerto del Rosario to Caleta de Fuste and the Fuerteventura Airport (number 3) and down to the south of the island and the resort town of Morro Jable (number 1). Corralejo is serviced by taxis that offer local transport around the town and out to the beaches, and also travel further afield to the airport and other points and towns of interest. Ferries regularly connect the port of Corralejo with Playa Blanca in the south of Lanzarote.
