Question 1

Which airport do you fly to for Fuerteventura?

Accepted Answer

You would fly into Fuerteventura Airport, also known as El Matorral Airport, which is located 5 km south of the capital city Puerto del Rosario.

Question 2

How many days is enough for Fuerteventura?

Accepted Answer

Well, if you're looking to soak up the sun along more than 150 kilometres of gorgeous coastline, a five-day getaway should do the trick! The beauty of Fuerteventura is that it's not all packed with city hustle, so you won't need to rush from place to place. You can leisurely explore spots like La Oliva, which is rich in history, Antigua for a taste of indigenous culture, and Tuineje, where you'll find some of the best Canarian cuisine around. With attractions conveniently clustered together, you can easily make multiple stops in a day without wearing yourself out or breaking the bank.

Question 3

Does Fuerteventura have good nightlife?

Accepted Answer

Fuerteventura definitely has a good nightlife with something for practically every age group and preference. If you're looking for a loud and lively experience, the old town of Corralejo has some of the best clubs and bars. If you're feeling a little homesick, this area also has a number of British-style pubs. And if you want a slightly more laid-back evening, you can walk a little further up north, where Corralejo's got a variety of sit-down establishments that serve cocktails and play diverse music.

Travelling with family? You can still enjoy the evenings together at Puerte del Rosario, which is the capital city of Fuerteventura. While there are clubs and bars here too, there are also cafes and bistros where you can have a delicious dinner or nightcap together.
