Fuerteventura by Noel Rochford
Fuerteventura is different from all the other islands in the Canaries. Being the closest to Africa, there's a definite taste of the Sahara about it. The countryside is lonely but warm, bleak but friendly and, in its own way, beautiful. Beaches are what Fuerteventura is all about; mile upon mile of untouched golden sand, great billowing white sand dunes, foaming surf, and quiet turquoise coves. Even though the landscape changes little, it's pleasant to tour Fuerteventura by car, since there's little traffic. This updated third edition is an ideal introduction to the island. There are also walks to suit all appetites - rambles across the hills, fairly easy mountain ascents, a seaside hike and, for explorers, rocky barrancos with hidden streams and palm groves. It includes a day-trip to nearby Lanzarote.
"We quickly found that the author's instructions were clear and his routes excellentFuerteventura wasn't the moon with beaches but an island of beautiful valleys, stunning mountain passes and hidden chapels. We came to regard Noel Rochford, childishly but fondly, as Know-all, the old-fashioned and decent schoolteacher ever by our side. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that we grew to love him." (Ruth Picardy, in The Independent)"
