Warnings Or Dangers  

Fuerteventura - wind and suncream

Fuerteventura - wind and suncream, Corralejo

 StuartTheKnowItAll Says:  Because of the steady cooling breeze in Fuerte, its very easy to assume its not that hot and use little or no sunscreen. BAD IDEA, for most of the year you will burn in under an hour without any protection, even when you think its not that hot.

 Corralejo is a small island, although the island is being developed there is not a lot to do here. It is worth a visit now before development takes away all of the landscape.
