The Fuerteventura region

El Cotillo is located in the tranquil North West corner of Fuerteventura, the second largest island of the Canary Islands. The island's rugged beauty is complemented with white sand beaches and stunning sea views including glorious sunsets from the Western shores. The area receives over 3000 hours of sunshine each year and the daytime temperature rarely dips below 15 degrees with the lowest monthly average temperature of 21degrees.

Both the airport and the principal town of Puerto de Rosario are on the eastern seaboard about 45 kms away.

El Cotillo is a quiet traditional fishing village which has avoided the commercialism of many other alternative destinations.

Seafood is a speciality in most restaurants with fresh fish from the local small harbour arriving daily. Among the best is El Roque de los Pescadores beside the new harbour in El Cotillo. Reasonably priced, first class service and excellent local cuisine.

El Cotillo has a unique village character which the local inhabitants do not want to lose.

If you are looking for a quiet, high quality destination with great people, fabulous food and almost guaranteed sunshine throughout the year then El Cotillo is worth consideration.

El Cotillo area

Both El Cotillo's main beaches are about 5 min. walk or 2 mins. by car from the apartment. The beaches to the North are very special with pristine white sands protected by volcanic rocky outcrops resulting in calm, safe, turquoise waters.

Playa de la Concha is possibly the best beach of the group close to the village and probably also has the best beach bar on the island, Bar Torino. The excellent Azzurro restaurant with an Italian flavour and 'home of the long, lazy lunch', is just 50 mtrs from the beach.

Sunbathing/reading, swimming and snorkelling are the most popular pastimes. The warm breeze (and frequently stronger) keeps irritant insects at bay.

Further North the beaches become even more secluded around the lighthouse (El Faro) area. The new fishing museum within the lighthouse is well worth a visit. It gives a very graphic impression of El Cotillo before tourism arrived. Recommended.

The Playa del Castillo surf beach immediately to the South of El Cotillo is much longer (2km) and wilder. Every conceivable watersport takes place here at some time or other. Frequently surfers, body boarders, body surfers, skimmers, wind surfers and kite surfers all appear at the surf beach. Forgetting about the watersports, it's also a great walk from the village to the end of the beach.

Further South is the deserted Playa de Ezquinzo, another surf beach.

Locally, the El Toston fort overlooking Playa del Castillo offers spectacular views of the area and doubles as a small local art centre.

Surfing, scuba diving, wind surfing, kite surfing, quad bikes, trekking expeditions etc. and instruction can all be booked from outlets in Corralejo.
There are now three golf courses on Fuerteventura, all within a 30 min. drive of El Cotillo. One is of Championship standard.

Bicycles and body boards etc. can be hired in El Cotillo.

The village has two banks with cash points, a couple of good small supermarkets ( the largest and newest is just at the entrance to the village), and an excellent French bakery, El Goloso. Mobile phone reception is good, if you absolutely have to remain contactable! There is also a very good internet cafe (locuturio) on Avenida los Lagos.

There are two comprehensive information folders in the apartment plus promotional material from the Tourism Office.

How to get there

El Cotillo is situated in the North West of the island, just 30minutes away from the Airport (45kms) and the principal town of Puerto del Rosario both on the eastern seaboard, but far away from the noise and bustle. No low flying aircraft. The main roads are excellent.

Detailed directions to the apartment will be forwarded. El Cotillo is not a big place!

A 'meet and greet' transport service is available from the airport if required at 40 euro each way payable locally. Please enquire for more details.

Taxi service from the airport approx. 45 euro each way.

Car hire is both cheap, with many options and generally recommended particularly if considering touring. Autoreisen.com, holidayautos.com, doyouspain.com, cicar.com are some of the more popular car rental companies and all operating from the airport.
