Corralejo holidays

Delectable and delicious, there’s a traditional Canarian dish out there to suit all tastes. One of the most famous dishes, papas arrugadas and mojo, is simple yet remarkably tasty. Mojo is a delicious dipping sauce made of olive oil, peppers, garlic, paprika and a range of other herbs. With a slight spicy kick, it pairs perfectly with its typical accompaniment of papas arrugadas, which consists of potatoes boiled in salted water. It may sound peculiar, but this method of cooking means the potato inside is super soft and the skin gets a unique wrinkled texture with a delicious fine salt crust. Seafood is a speciality in Fuerteventura, and you’ll find numerous restaurants keen to show off the fantastic quality of the day’s catch. Known as veija in the Canaries, parrotfish is one of the most popular choices when it comes to seafood. Often served with ibérico strips – a popular type of Spanish smoked ham – and almonds, it’s an incredibly delicious dish.

The Canary Islands are famed for their breathtaking white sand beaches, and Corralejo is a particularly favoured resort amongst sun-seekers. The dune covered sand is as soft as powder, making them ideal for a shoeless stroll in the evening. Watch as the sun sinks below the blue sea as it sets, the sky transforming into a golden beacon. There are a plethora of beaches to choose from, all of which are remarkably beautiful. Flag Beach is popular amongst those who enjoy water sports such as kite and wind sailing, whereas Grandes Playas is renowned for its family-friendly nature. You can admire the rocky volcanoes that fill the skyline as you paddle through clear waters, enjoying the warm breeze that has become associated with the islands.

While you may be tempted to spend your holiday relaxing on one of the many breathtaking beaches, there’s plenty more to get stuck into in Corralejo. Whether you’re looking for adrenaline-pumping sports or something totally chilled out, Corralejo offers the best of both worlds when it comes to relaxation and lively activities.

Catamaran tour: What better way to explore beyond the golden sand than a Catamaran tour? You’ll get to sit back and relax under the sun as you sail around the sea, enjoying the sight of the crystal clear waters ahead. From dolphin watching cruises to snorkelling and deep diving, there are an array of tours to choose from. Either way, you’ll get a glimpse of the beautiful marine life that lives deep within the shore, as well as having a peaceful sunbathing session.
