Nature & Parks
Large preserved park area featuring expansive stretches of sand dunes & pristine beaches.
Slide 1 of 8
If heaven was a beach. Beautiful area with amazing, clear seas and rolling sand dunes. Clean and spacious- please, lets keep it this way. Take your litter home and keep this gem a rare paradise
A stunning, expansive beach with almost white, powdery sand. The water is icy cold but crystal clear. The surrounding dunes add a unique and beautiful touch to the scenery. There’s plenty of roadside parking since the beach stretches out over a large area. For me, it’s the most beautiful beach on the island – an absolute must-visit while in Fuerteventura.
Interesting and fun. Kite flying and surfers. Sand dunes deceptively difficult to climb
Beautiful beach and sand dunes
Huge beach, fantastic dunes, something beautiful. Similar to the dunes in the Polish Słowiński National Park, but much larger. And the water is much cleaner and nicer.
Beautifully white and soft sandy beach, worth a trip. We stopped off of the dune buggy tour, would have loved to have stayed longer.
Beautiful walk, crystal clear water, white sands
It’s absolutely stunning here, you will not regret your visit! Climbing the huge dunes to see the crystal clear ocean on the other side and Lobos Island was incredible. Not overly busy as the beach is massive so you won’t feel crowded. We saw a rainbow cloud whilst there which was magnificent, I didn’t even know these existed until I saw it. 100% recommend the visit.

Love sandy beaches. Good fishing for vieja "parrot fish"
Very nice beach, nice snorkeling. Very calm water, perfect for families with kids. I also liked the type of sand, which is a little bit different than on beaches on the east side of the island
Lovely beach with sandy shore and crystal clear lagoons. It is about 15 mins walking from the bus stop. There are toilets and showers near the life guard. We prepared drink and food for the day because restaurans and shops are not near. Naturists and bikini sunbathers next to each other with no problem.
Beautiful beach , close to the town also some good places to eat in the area. Good for families with children because of the rocks that are bloking the waves ! Nice in the sunset!
Been a few times to this beach and it lovely and clean. Our 3 yr old grandson loved playing on the sand and in the water. It is a nudist beach as well 😎 we also went in the evening to watch sunset which I'd stunning highly recommend this. El Cotillo is a beautiful place to visit.
Love El Cotillo, there are turquoise, clear lagoons protected from the big waves on one side of town. The big, wild beach at the other side of town is good fun for waves. The town itself has gorgeous little shops and restaurants. Being on the west coast of the island too means that it’s a great spot for sunsets.
Amazing beach. White sands which makes also the water look turquoise, small lagunas with calm waters and then big waves further if you wish to have some fun. Not busy usually, restaurants few hundred metres away, car park close by. This place is great for relaxing and enjoying the view.
A beautiful tranquil beach with turquoise waters and white sand on the north west of the island. It is clearly a trendy area, normally frequented by cool surfer types, I say normally because like all areas at the moment due to the Covid restrictions are very quiet. But anyway if you are staying nearby or perhaps drive up to the North to visit the volcano then this is a great stop over. We spent a couple of hours chilling on the beach in the hot sun, yes it was a bit breezy but thanks to the stone built wind breakers, once you lie down on your towel, you hardly notice the wind at all. There was free parking directly on the beach and a lot of little restaurants and shops nearby. Highly recommended when you visit Fuerteventura

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Water park with slides, swimming pools & lounge areas, plus a kids' club, restaurants & a gift shop.
Slide 1 of 8
Ok, maybe the river part is unimpressive, the waves are okeyish and the slides are average overall, but all this is worth so much more without long lines, crowds, and high prices. The park is reasonably priced, the staff is nice (although weirdly fixated on banning smart watches), and it is fun to spend time there.
Nice waterpark. We've visited with our kids today, 104e for family of 4 is good price in my opinion, weather was average as wind was mad, little sun but apart from that good spot. Many slides and pools for various people. Staff was kind. Make sure you bring warm clothing just in case. Thank you guys.
Really lovely place and wasn't packed when we went which is always a plus. Their "fast track" is basically hiring out floating. You can either hire out yellow ones and not wait or wait for people to be done with the blue ones on that particular ride. Fun slides and not a mental wave pool. Only one slide (red and black) was able to be used with a double ring. All the others were with no ring at all. And no slides are for like a family to go down, which was disappointing. Also the lazy river really needs more of a current. The amount of times we got stuck still and had to use the walls to push off. Ended up getting out and pushing my son in the ring. It was a lazy river but not lazy for yourself. More of a work out by the end of it lol. Overall probably wouldn't go back but did have a really good time
Really enjoyed our trip to Acua Water Park. It's not too expensive (€104 for 2 adults and 2 kids) and we had a great time on all of the slides. Plenty of sun beds available and we got a spot in front of the main slides which worked out well. The kids absolutely loved jumping off the ledges into the 4 metre deep pool - it might have been their favourite thing to do. The lazy river lived up to its name and was very slow. You can to keep paddling or pushing yourself to move. The food was good and reasonably priced. And queues for the rides weren't bad at all. There is an option to rent your own tube for €6, but we didn't and never had to wait long for one. One good thing to note is that the slides all close at 5. We weren't aware of that and would have tried to go on a few more times.
Although the price is somewhat high, it is a great family day out. The facilities are clean. Lifeguards are everywhere keeping the place save and keep everything moving smooth. Food is ok. I would suggest to bring plenty of snacks and drinks.
We had a fun day at Acua Park. Lots of different slides to try. All felt safe and well marshalled. Favourites were the Rapid River which I found mildly terrifying. The waits weren't long and we didn't wait too long to pick up blue rings which are used and handed over after various rides. To avoid any wait you can hire the yellow rings you keep and return. Lockers were available for 6Euros, which we took. There was something for all ages and plenty to challenge the cowards among us.
The water park was a great time, little to no wait to get on any of the slides. The wave pool every hour was awesome but could get busy depending on what hour you go. The lazy spa needs so work, it basically doesn't work 😅 but all the other "rides" make up for that! Deffo worth a trip if you are close or the day trip if you are travelling further!
We had an amazing time at ACUA Water Park, slides are fun and ques are short if any. Highly recommend. We purchased the second day at 19 euros as kids loved it.

Island
Nature & Parks
A wide range of flora & fauna call this protected islet with a 19th century lighthouse home.
Slide 1 of 8
Great destination for a day trip in the north of Fuerteventura. A ferry takes those interested from Corralejo to the island. The ticket costs no more than 20 euros per person. The island is home to beautiful nature, a large mountain and a beautiful lighthouse. You should allow about three hours to see everything. There is also a small restaurant near the ferry dock.
Took a return ticket with Naviera Nortour company 15th March 2025 (€17 return, left on the 11.15 and returned on the 16:00). Island itself is strangely alluring. Unfortunately I found it pretty busy in the main two places to swim (Puertito Isla de Lobos and Playa de la Concha) - not heaving, but enough to be annoying in the key photogenic spots. I don’t know what’s happening with the authorisation that people are meant to get to visit this island, allegedly limiting the visitor numbers to max 400 per day in 2 “shifts”, morning and afternoon. No one mentioned this once when purchasing tickets or boarding the ferry. A shame because there were so many companies offering boats there, I am sure that these combinations exceed 400 people per day. I hiked around 13km (I only had Converse on, nothing more than that). The lighthouse was a nice place to break up the day, approx 1hr from either direction at an estimate - I came prepared with fresh bread, ham and cheese and had a small picnic. I had stopped by the chiringuito upon arrival, as advised to make a booking, but they had no fish and a bunch of other stuff off menu so I didn’t bother in the end and was grateful I had planned ahead just in case. There was some shade finally at the lighthouse - lacking elsewhere on the loop. Also very nice views over the island itself and out towards Lanzarote. As most reviews state - no toilets or shops, slather on the suncream as it’s sunny AND windy, hats and everything. I was worried the 4+ hours I had on the island would be too long but with the loop walk and a swim at the end it was the most perfectly timed day.
Beautiful Island with crystal blue clear water. Reminds of similar places in the caribbean. Can get crowded though during peak season. Should be a great place to snorkel. We tried it but we had more succes seeing different kinds of marine life in other places on Fuerteventura, like Morro Jable and Gran Tarajal . But because it's a cove the water is very calm and thanks the clarity there is great visibility. Be sure to stay on the paths because the island is a protected nature reserve. If you don't you may get yelled at by locals. There a multiple compagnies that offer day trips to the island, all departing from Coralejo. So take the ferry and have a relaxing day at Isla de Lobos!
Very nice island at the north of Fuertaventura We came here and anchored amd explored before the trippers arrived. There is one restaurant that is open 10.30 - 300 Mon - Fri only
one of my best hikes so far! no shadow, 3h around the island with small mountain and amazing laguna at the end. just start and go rightways around. u can see fuerteventura & lanzarote.
Amazing!! There’s nothing I can say about this beautiful peaceful and quiet place but amazing!! I loved my short journey here and I would go back in a heartbeat
Wonderful island near Corralejo, Fuerteventura. Accessible by boat with a range of competitors providing options from little speed boats through to larger craft costing around €16 for a day return trip. You can walk around the whole island on a circular route in 2-2.5 hours which we found well worth it to sample the fascinating range of landscapes on the island. The volcano Montana La Caldera to the west of the island is well worth the climb although it can be busy with tourists. There is a nice beach (Playa de la Concha) 10-15 minutes from the port. We went there to relax after our long walk until our return boat. There are no real facilities on the island so make sure you bring food and drink. There is also limited opportunities for shade. Very nice place to visit though and highly recommended.
Stunning island with amazing scenery and a really nice walk. You do have book in advance to get the boat to the island as I believe there is a daily capacity on how many visitors the island can have. Be sure to take comfortable footwear and plenty of water and snacks. Make sure to use the bins located around the walking path for any trash :)

Loved it very pretty
A fine port for taking boat trips with a couple of restaurants, but feels quite run down (along with the rest of Corralejo!)
We visited on a cruise ship, but berthed a little far out so had a long walk.
Ok, but very small, not worth a visit really, not many boats to look at
You can see both Lanzarote and Isla de Lobos from the harbour. Very nice view!
Took the catamaran there
Nice place to eat good fresh fish !!!!

Slide 1 of 8
Quite and relaxing place lot of history. The landscape is dramatic. On Mondays the site is closed.
The site was under construction/restauration when came but we were able to drive in and look around. Leaves a good impression of historie despite being closed. If you’re travelling to Olivia drop by and have a glance.
This is located near the town of Oliva. Besides the art and cultural exhibition, the ruins of the outbuildings are very interesting. We had a lot of fun with the squirrels living there...a fun for all especially if you have some nuts to give away
Impressive house which is surprisingly cool inside, built around a central courtyard. The house has some amazing history and the restored woodwork is worth the entrance fee alone. The house feels quite sad without any furniture or other items from its past but impressive all the same. Good toilets in-house.
Interesting place, unfortunately some information is just in Spanish. BTW - if you want to feed the little buddies there - the squirrels love bananas :D
The architecture and history is interesting, however the place is souless as not dressed with period furniture . A small art exhibition was on display during my visit in December 2018. Perhaps more entertaining was the abundance of small furry squirrel/meerkat type animals scurrying around the rocks outside.
Nice exposition, also new art. Squirrels are added bonus! I felt like i time traveled 200 years back.
Nice to visit of passing. Modern art exhibit inside. Was too late to go inside but the building is a nice example of Spanish colonialism.

Museum
Specialty Museums
Museum dedicated to Canary Islands fishing history & tradition, installed in a 19th-c. lighthouse.
Slide 1 of 8
The museum was closed when we were there at sunset. The area is covered with little stone towers, it looks really impressive.
A place with great potential,evrything closed.... the views are excellent.
Lovely surroundings, easily accessible via tarmac road (not always the case on this island) If you just want to go up this lighthouse it is cheaper than the whole museum. We didn't visit the museum itself as it looks like the history of fishing on the island)
The museum is really worth visiting and very interesting. But, as most of the museums on Fuerteventura, it has its problems (therefore the island government started to privatize the first museums 2016). - If you do not speak Spanish, you see nice things but have no idea what is going around. Everything only in Spanish – what a stupid idea on an island with 80% UK and German Tourists! - Video presentations are very interesting if working. Most times they work not and, of course, just in Spanish. - Very unmotivated girl running the museum. But, if you talk Spanish to her she gets nice and friendly. - Most times the door to the white tower, that was the first lighthouse, is closed. If so, ask the girl to open it, because you can go up there to enjoy a fabulous view to Lanzarote, El Cotillo and the lagoons. Resume: Great museum, badly run but at least very fair. The entrance is anyhow inexpensive but if the video stuff is not working you get e rabat of 1,- Euro. Nice and honest.
We were here for the sunset, it was very romantic. Place is definitely worth visiting.
Closed on Mondays but the location is still great especially on a windy day.
Very suggestive place, really worth the visit
Calderón Hondo

Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
This 278m-tall volcano features trails leading to a viewing platform along the crater rim.
Slide 1 of 8
Great hike and not too difficult! Amazing views definitely recommend going! Took us about an hour and a half to get there and back from parking a bit further away.
Strange landscape and great views. Wear sturdy footwear. Takes about 20 mins to get to the top.
We did the linear trail shown in the attached photo. It was approximately 5km in total. You aren’t supposed to leave the trail for conservation reasons. It’s not a circular walk like we initially thought and appears on some maps. Parking is available either in a car park to the northeast of the caldera (free to park, accessed via a gravel road) or on the edge of Lajares.
It's not so difficult hiking from the village of Lajares to achieve the volcano and take a look at the crater from the viewpoint. It's five km if you walk around 'Colorada' mountain and three if you take the straight path
Calderón Hondo is a well-preserved volcanic crater that’s easy to reach and enjoyable to hike. The last few kilometers are off-road but fine for most cars. There’s plenty of parking near the trailhead, and the path to the crater is wide and clearly marked. The views from the top are impressive and worth the short climb. You’ll likely encounter squirrels along the way — please don’t feed them, even if they come close. A great, accessible nature stop in northern Fuerteventura.
it was my first experience climbing a volcano. And I am very happy, this place deserves attention. The crater of the volcano offers simply incredible landscapes. Simply incredible sensations
You can drive almost all the way up to the volcano, and from there it’s just a short 15-minute walk with a gentle elevation gain. It’s an easy and enjoyable route, making the viewpoint accessible for most visitors. The scenery is absolutely worth the stop!
Great seeing a vulcano from the top. Easy hike (20min) with plenty of parking. A must do.

Very interesting to see so many different types of art all in one place... staff very pleasant and helpful, some of the exhibits could have been displayed better... a nice way to spend an hour or so 😎🖒
Second time here, always impressed by the quality of the exhibition.
Loved all the art (indoor & outside) and the place was well laid out, but the cafe wasn't open and we weren't informed until we asked. We were planning on taking a break half way and enjoying a nice lunch, but instead had to cut our visit short as everyone was hungry. Affordably priced reproductions (prints) of the artwork and polite staff.
Unexpectedly great art gallery! Recommended for a spare hour.

Interesting gallery and cactus garden with reasonable little cafe attached. Outside is the cactus garden which is quite restfull to look round.

Classic, candy-striped lighthouse on a volcanic beach, with a museum & self-guided geology tours.
Slide 1 of 8
Easy to get to by car. Wasn't open when we were there although it suggested it does open for tourism. Nice views and a sign guided historical geological walk thing you can do if you want.
Well, it's a lighthouse, and they're all pretty much the same, but a clear azure sky enhances its simple, functional structure. The views of the breaking surf over the volcanic rocks are breathtaking and to the north, on a clear day, the neighbouring island of Lanzarote can be seen on the horizon. Also, it's a raised fossilized hardened sandstone beach so there's a chance you might find something interesting. It's only a ten minute drive from El Cotillo, which is well worth a visit in its own right.
Nice place to visit with great ocean views. The lighthouse looks cool, and it’s quiet and peaceful. You can have a walk around and find shells or crabs in the small waters between the rocks in front. Great for photos and a calm stop if you’re driving around the island.
Great place to visit to see the ocean and tidal pools.
Sightseeing here if you're in the north part of the island is a must! If you like to walk for long paths, there are several trails here to achieve and some rocks with the crabs!
Easy accessible by car on mostly asphalt road. Lighthouse seems to be renovated recently, still works are in progress still. Great spot to watch sunset as you can stop on many places arround the place.
Beautiful lighthouse on the northwest coast of fuerteventura just north of El Cotillo. Beautiful location with the Atlantic crashing in behind. The lighthouse toilets, etc, were all closed, but there are picnic tables there, which is a great spot for a bit of lunch. The beaches in this area are small and lagoon like with warm calming water. There's not much else there, but a beautiful part of the island
This part of the island is not as popular and crowded as the rest of it and you will not find long beaches here, but a large number of small beaches and even more lagoons filled with warm water sheltered by rocks from the ocean make it worth spending some time here. The peace and beauty of nature 100 percent.

This is the best surfcamp by far. The beautiful accomodation is led with love and care. There are different types of rooms from nice single to cozy multi-bed rooms. There's a huge kitchen area and a wonderful bathroom. The camp is in a quite area but close enough to go to the supermarket or some restaurants. The surf school was very professional and sometimes tough. I thought i new a bit about the sea already but here i've learned so much more important details about conditions, currents and reefbreaks than ever before. The coaching of my positioning on the board and in the water was also a very helpful part on my inermediate surf journey. They fixed a lot of my current surfing issues with their experience. The name "Surf Institute" is well chosen. They take their job seriously. The heartwarming crew knows how to run a camp - in and outside the water. I met a lot of returned guests at the camp. For me it was the first 4th time surfing fuerte but the 1st time at Surf Institute - i will return, too. Thx!
Awesome surf school with small groups. Thanks to that the instructors have time to help each student individually, what pays off in fast progress. The surf spots and time are determined daily to guarantee the best waves and experience. We stayed in the pine tree villa, which is a beautiful modern villa with a nice vibe and a great garden. We will definitely come back!
Thank you so much! I had an amazing time at Surf Institute Fuerteventura. Information about surf courses, the rooms etc. is very detailed on the website and communication before and during the stay was excellent. You can really feel that they all love what they do. Surf courses: Perfect experience. Starting from the organization, they always choose the best spot and time when to go surfing. The groups are small so you really get a lot of advice. I was there as an intermediate surfer and improved during that time. Because there were different levels of surfers they divided the groups so everyone got the best out of it. I had lessons with Tommy and Dave, both are super friendly and excellent surf instructors. Pine Tree Villa: A beautiful place to stay. Does not matter if you are a solo traveller, with a group or a couple (they offer different rooms). Everyone was super friendly and the level of detail and decoration was very nice. You can walk to different restaurants and bars in appr. 10-15 minutes. If you want to go to the beaches (in addition to the surf courses) I would recommend a rental car. I am looking forward to my next stay at SIF :)
Great surf experience, great instructors and equipment. The surf-house feels at home immediately, I enjoyed the stay very much. Thanks to the whole team Dave, Tommy, Pascal, Rene, Gini & Vanessa
Best Surf Institute on Fuerteventura! Very friendly and competent teachers, helping you individually no matter if you are a complete beginner or already advanced. In addition to picking you up and bringing you to the beach, lending you suits and boards you also get high quality photos and videos of your surfing progress. It was a very fun time and I would definitely come again!!!
Best surfcamp on the island for sure! Teachers are great, accommondation beautifull... i'll come back :)
These guys really know how to teach surfing! I stayed for a beginners class at surf Institute and had an amazing time. The classes were always very small and Pat, the teacher, took a lot of time for instructions and individual feedback. Even though I haven't been to many other surf schools, I think that surf institute is special as the atmosphere was always very welcoming and familiar. I really felt comfortable! Besides surfing the guys also know how to spent good times with loads of great music. In that sense, thank you very much for the lovely holiday, the funny games, the music sessions and last but not least the amazing time on the surfboard, surfboard.. Anne
I had a wonderful week with lovely people, great vibes and of course a surfing class that took me to various surfspots along the northern coast of Fuerteventura. I highly recommend it for everyone who's interested in learning surfing and having a hell of a time!

We love the products (recommend the extra fuerte). Staff is always friendly, knowledgeable and always talk about the beneficial properties of aloe Vera. We always buy plenty when we visit the Canaries. They are not cheap, bur I think they are worth it. I also checked them on the Yuka app.
Visited with coach party. There was a presentation describing the growth and the benefits of Aloe Vera products. No pressure was exerted to purchase the products.
Not sure we have ever come across such an unfriendly place. Stopped here en route to Corralejo as my mum wanted to buy their products. The German lady behind the counter was beyond rude and had a major attitude. Avoid this place like the plague
We stopped here as part of a bus tour. A quick talk was given about the Aloe Vera plant. Since our group had English and German people in it, it was done in both languages. We were able to sample some of the products, afterwards, we went into the shop part for anyone who wished to purchase anything.
Nice range of products and lady was happy to explain, there are plenty of these places across the island also.
Helpful lady explained the differences between the various types of Aloe Vera products, with a little "hard sell", but it is a shop after all. We weren't offered a demonstration of the plant this time but there was a freshly cut piece on the side for us to look at. We bought a few items and were given a small Aloe Vera plant as a free gift
We also visited the other, more marketed aloe place in La Oliva, but eventually we made our purchases here. A welcoming lady speaking perfect English invited us for a quick education demonstration of how aloe is processed and explained all the different products with giving us a sample to try from everything. The products aren’t cheap and some of the packages might look old fashioned but the experience made us purchase several products for ourselves and as gifts too. I won’t rate the other La Oliva Aloe Center but the experience was subpar there and turned us off from buying anything, so I would recommend this place over the other.
Very interesting for adults and kids. Didn't know the aloe vera is not a cactus but is related to onions! Very friendly and helpful staff. Hands on for kids. Great range of products for all. Cards accepted.

Made my day finding this beautiful church. It was immaculate and warm and friendly. Beautiful music playing. Open to the public to come and sit. One of my peaceful moments. Wherever I travel I find that one special spiritual place and this was it.
What a lovely place to visit. We sort of just dropped by for a quick drink and biotime. The church was beautiful. No fees to enter. We are travelling between seasons, so I'm not sure if its available the whole year.
We attended mass on February 2nd, the feast day of the Parrish. The mass was lovely and included lighting candles in honor of our Lady. The priest was very upbeat and loving to his congregation. As a visitor, I felt the Parrish was blessed to have him. Afterwards, there was a procession, fireworks, and local(?) music and dancers. A unique, special, and unexpected experience!
Amazing nativity scene at the side of this lovely Church.
Beautiful typical Canarian church, with beautifully illuminated interiors. No fee. Quiet and open most hours. Time of construction dates back to the Castilian colonization era of Fuerteventura, in this case a small temple from 1500s. Surroundings are pretty. Next to main road. Worth a visit.
Nice little church with the white walls contrasting the volcanic stone in the bell tower. Typical canarian style. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it but nice all the same
Small church with lots of character, worth a visit if your in that area
Everything about this is lovely. The church is a simple very pretty stone structure in a beautiful small square with a cafe and fountain. The views from here are spectacular with Palm trees around and towering mountains to the east. I would recommend a cortado coffee sit outside the cafe in the morning before stopping around the church.

Fantastic shopping square packed with local businesses and markets. Absolutely loved our time exploring. Often live entertainment which is free, a free car park if you are driving and very clean public toilets. A strong community feel here and welcoming bars, shops, cafés and restaurants.
El Campanario is a fantastic, shopping centre and restaurant square. There are a variety of shops and amenities. This means while you can browse good value designer clothes, you can enjoy a meal under the bell tower. Convenient to have a Hiper Dino here and easily accessible. From ice creams to Italian pizzas, El Campanario offers affordable cuisine. Additionally, you can marvel at the stunning views atop el campanario (the belltower) where you can see the whole of Corralejo. Also, all the facilities are well maintained - the toilets are spotless and the streets are swept regularly. We enjoyed coming here on our holiday a lot!
Lovely independent shops & restaurant area. Climb the bell tower for a stunning view (free access). Especially worth visiting on a market day when it is a little more vibrant.
Great place to go shopping. Pretty aesthetic. Enough opportunities to grab a bite or drink too. Very clean area and offers free toilets.
Well worth a visit. Some great shops, supermarket,lots of craft stalls on Thursday. Prices of crafts vary but some are very reasonably priced .Lovely inexpensive cafes, the place manages to be modern, clean and lively, but retains and old fashioned look which is charming. The bell tower has a fantastic view. If you check on maps there's a quick way to the beach which will get you to the main strip a lot quicker.
Great shops especially for women! Clothes are cheap & good quality...nice cafes too...great market a couple of days a week with handmade jewelry etc , Real leather shoes/bags are good prices 👍
Beautiful small shopping area. We went on a Thursday when they had an absolutely lovely craft fayre, there was some fantastic stalls. It's a charming area with little rows of shops and stalls leading of a main square. It also has a bell tower which you can climb. We got the lift to floor 2 then went up from there. The views are amazing 😍
Beautiful small shopping mall with central square that often has live music. There is also a fantastic market here on Thursdays and Sundays with an emphasis on art and jewellery products, many being hand made. There are many small bars and restaurants to relax and have a relaxing drink or sit down meal. Recommend a visit for sure. We visited several times during our holiday.
