Fuerteventura Attractions

Puerto del Rosario

Puerto del Rosario is the capital of Fuerteventura.  Puerto del Rosario has not really catered to tourists in the past but that has changed.  The government have invested heavily in re-generating the area, including sprucing up the beaches, in an effort to attract more tourists to the capital.  Puerto del Rosario is easily accessibly by bus from the main resorts.

American Star Shipwreck

The American Star Shipwreck is located at Playa de Garcey, on the west coast of Fuerteventura.  The ship was formerly a cruise liner and ran aground in 1994 in inclement weather.  American Star has actually been de-commissioned and was on its way to Thailand to be re-incarnated as a floating hotel.  The wreck is an interesting site to say the least.

Betancuria

Betancuria is the former capital of Fuerteventura and is located in the north of the island.  The town was of strategic importance in years gone by, to keep potential invaders out.  There are many churches and museums to be enjoyed in Betancuria, along with other historical attractions.
