The island of Fuerteventura is known as the peaceful island, this description was launched a few years ago on poster by the Tourism Office. The image on the poster was of a door to a house calling it the door to tranquility. Coincidently the door used on the poster was our house before it was restored (see photo).

Our rural house El Taro is located in the traditional village of El Roque where herding goats used to be the principal occupation of locals. It is close to the sea and only 1km from the sleepy fishing village of El Cotillo with its fabulous white sand and aquamarine beaches. Amongst its many beaches there are some perfect for fishing and others such as the large beach ‘playa Del Castillo’ ideal for water sports such as windsurfing and surfing…
Local fishermen sell the catch of the day to the many restaurants of the area specializing in typical Canarian produce such as Parrot fish broth, fresh fish accompanied by the islands own special sauce called mojo, gofio and soft goats’ cheese.

There are many sports that can be practiced on Fuerteventura and these include deep sea diving, windsurfing, fishing, hiking etc.

Hiking offers the walker the opportunity to admire the natural beauty of Fuerteventura from volcanic and mountainous landscapes to the dunes of Corralejo to the island of Los Lobos forming part of the island’s protected Natural Park.

Take a deep breath and relax, you are now in Fuerteventura – a paradise for the senses. To feel Fuerteventura is to let your senses enjoy the sensations offered by staying in beautiful quality rural establishments.
