The main complaint about Fuerteventura, expressed by tourists at the front desk of the hotel is: " When will the wind finally lay down?" or "Does it always blow that much here?" Many groan about the wind, not knowing that it would be unbearably hot here in the summer without those tradewinds.

Already in the ancient Greek times they called these islands "the fortunate islands, gently stroked by the eternal wind" or "those Elysic climes", and also Beethoven's "Elysium" comes from the "Alisios", the tradewinds.

Madeira and La Palma are hiking destinations - Fuerteventura is sunbathing and swimming. Because many tourists think that there is nothing else on this "heap of rubble". Very recently the Hiking tourism has discovered Fuerteventura: The approximately 1.700 km2 of "rubble" include 13 Natural protected areas with a total surface of 48.000 hectares! And unlike other islands, most of these areas here are interconnected and allow hiking without the usual road signs.

Dos maravillosas rutas por los Caminos Reales.

 Betancuria es en el centro de Fuerteventura. Ambos caminos, uno más corto que el otro, te mostraran la parte más verde de la isla. Descubrirás la primera capital de la isla y las montañas más antiguas de Canarias y disfrutaras de unas maravillosas vistas de la isla. Podrás oír el viento azotar los arboles del bosque local, y la agradable zona de barbacoa que allí se encuentra nos invitara a disfrutar del picnic que hemos preparado. Tras haber saboreado las especialidades locales, el camino más corto nos llevara de vuelta a Betancuria, mientras que el recorrido largo nos llevara a través de un valle de palmeras hasta Vega del Rio Palma. La vegetación que se encuentra alrededor del lago artificial es abundante. Tu guía te explicara la historia, geología, cultura, etc. La vuelta a Betancuria se hace a lo largo del lecho de un rio seco. Ahí tendrás tiempo para visitar este histórico lugar y tomar un vino o cerveza. Ambos recorridos ofrecen preciosas vistas para fotografiar.

El viaje continúa por los viejos caminos de rebaños de Morro Jable a Cofete, en la salvaje costa Oeste. Empezamos en el campo de cactus en el "Gran Valle", bajando un par de kilómetros por el camino de tierra de Morro a Punta de Jandía. La caminata comienza con una ligera pendiente en la recién restaurada pista (arena y piedra). Hubo un tiempo en el que esta era la única conexión con la costa oeste y con Cofete.

La excursión nos llevará a un tipo especial de volcán: un volcán respiradero. Está formado por un ascenso lento de lava en la columna central de un cráter ya existente, pero sin salidas principales. Una vez que la lava se solidifica dentro del cono de ceniza, se forma un conducto vertical de basalto que permanecerá erguido mucho tiempo después de que la ceniza de alrededor haya sido erosionada por los elementos naturales.

Pico-de-la-Zarza-2Escalar la cumbre más alta de Fuerteventura: "Pico de la Zarza" (807m)
La ascensión se hace sin problemas gracias a una amplia pista que se encuentra en buenas condiciones. Sin embargo, se necesita estar en algo de forma física para subir desde el nivel del mar a los 807m. Metro tras metro, cada vez estamos más cerca de una vista (literalmente) asombrosa. Si vuelves tu espalda podrás ver los complejos hoteleros y el faro de Morro Jable.
Enormes arbustos de tabaibas crecen a lo largo de la pista junto a bellas gageas luteas. A medida que subimos estas plantas son más abundantes gracias a la creciente humedad proporcionada por un mar de nubes.
