Surfing Fuerteventura's North Shore

Surfing Fuerteventura’s North Shore

How can a small island make you feel like being in a desert? The dusty and bumpy road along the west shore seems endless as we drive southbound from El Cotillo. Our car has almost 200’000 km on its mileage meter and makes tortured sounds.   Then we are at the end of the road: [...]
