Tarajalejo – a fishermen's village with flair.

If you are interested to discover the authentic Fuerteventura then please have a stop in Tarajalejo. Here, everything is still running quietly, perhaps even on familiar level. The new promenade along the black lava beach with shower facilities, as well as the "Plaza", the very centre of the small village are meeting places for all ages. One hotel and a recently renovated apartment complex are the only "All-Inclusive" offerings here. Private letting is available for those who want to enjoy individuality.

Activities like strolling along beaches and the coast as well as surfing, paddle, diving, sailing or biking till guided hiking tours on the South of the island are here on offer by plenty of businesses – for apprentices or experienced visitors. A German bakery, several small bars and cosy restaurants with local and international kitchen will spoil anybody. Shops and manufacturing activity are mostly family-based like the supermarket, a goldsmith, a barbershop, dog grooming, tax consultancy, real estate office, insurances, interior decoration, souvenirs and a Tourist Info Centre – everything that leaves you well pampered. The medical attention is fulfilled by the local health centre. And a regular bus service connects you to the surrounding areas. For restless and intellectual minds, even art and creativity are represented here by a well-known artist and by a shop promoting recycling ideas.
All that said... an aspiring small fishing village.
