Fuerteventura, known as the majorera island, is a globally renowned paradise for windsurfing and kitesurfing enthusiasts. With its extensive coastline and multitude of beaches, this island is a privileged destination for lovers of the sea and wind. However, the popularity of surfing has led to saturation in some areas, with more surf schools than waves across the entire island.
Although the presence of surfers can be overwhelming at times, Fuerteventura remains an incredible place to enjoy the sea and surfing. Its endless beaches and sunny climate throughout the year attract surfers from all over the world in search of perfect waves and the tranquility of its natural landscapes.
However, it is important to note that in recent years, Fuerteventura has experienced a demographic shift. In places like the town of Corralejo, the presence of Italian residents has significantly increased, representing 69% of the population in 2017. This foreign influence has transformed the local atmosphere, but has also enriched the island’s gastronomic and cultural offerings.
Despite these changes, Fuerteventura remains a must-visit destination for surf and adventure enthusiasts. Its unique landscapes, relaxed atmosphere, and excellent conditions for water sports make it an unparalleled place to experience an unforgettable time at sea.

Lobos Island, a small natural paradise off the coast of Fuerteventura, is a tranquil and remote destination that offers a unique experience for surf and nature lovers. Unlike other islands in the archipelago, Lobos does not have tourist accommodations or commercial services. The village, consisting of modest fisherman’s houses, lacks shops and bars, so it’s important to bring food and water for the day.
Despite its apparent isolation, Isla de Lobos is an amazing place for surfing. From the Corralejo pier, in front of the fishermen’s guild, you can hire a zodiac travel service for just 10€ per person. This trip will take you to the shores of Lobos, where you’ll find challenging waves and pristine landscapes to enjoy a unique and authentic surfing experience.
