What to see in Fuerteventura near Caleta de Fuste?
Beaches, promenades and sports to practice: tips for your stay in the small and beautiful Caleta de Fuste.A few km from Fuerteventura airport and 10 minutes from the capital Puerto del Rosario, we find a small but famous place: Caleta de Fuste.
Caleta de Fuste attracts tourists by the amount of services available, restaurants, hotels and beautiful beaches.
Caleta de Fuste: beach and promenade
Its bay is shaped like a horseshoe, with a small and charming harbor, bordered by a large sandy beach, artificially transported and deposited on the original stone formation; the bay is very suitable for families, as it is protected from the current.
On the beach, you will have many options to choose from, among the many water sports, including the possibility of diving to admire the beautiful seabed.
Very nice is the whole promenade along the seafront, where you can also meet the friendly Ardille, the squirrels that populate the island, always ready to receive peanuts and greet visitors.
During the walk along the promenade, visit the Tower of San Buenaventura, designed by architect Claudio de l'Isle, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view.
Shopping in Fuerteventura
For those who can not stop shopping, a little further on, you will find the Centro Comercial Atlantico, while, if you prefer something more "local", do not miss the good market, held every Saturday and Tuesday morning, where you can find typical products, handicrafts or simply clothes.
The upper part of Caleta de Fuste
Caleta de Fuste also has an upper part, the residential area of Montana Blanca.
You can reach it with a pleasant walk or with the comfortable train that runs every day until 5.30 p.m. and takes you to several points of Caleta, including the upper part; from here you will enjoy an extraordinary panorama.
For those who, instead, can not stand still, there are many walks that can be done; in addition to the Paseo Maritimo and the to reach the upper part, you can head to the nearby village of Las Salinas with its Salt Museum, using the promenade facing the sea, to then continue in the suggestive "desert" near the ocean.
On the opposite side, however, you can walk towards the airport and enjoy a very particular and suggestive landscape.
At night in Caleta de Fuste
For lovers of the night and evocative clubs, you can not give up a cocktail by Bar Salón el Faro, a place with a fantastic view of the harbor and the ocean, where they make very good drinks.
One thing that caught my attention and that is just below this place, is the little"cat spot".
It is a little house where there is always water and cat food, made by a mother to remember her little daughter who died too soon, who loved animals very much; if it happens to you, go there, if only to read the moving plaque and, maybe, leave something for the cats.
In short, Caleta de Fuste, is suitable for all kinds of needs and, not only, is a strategic point for touring the island, as it is practically in the center.
The festive atmosphere, the amount of services and the beautiful beaches will not disappoint you at all.
