Spirit

"Cats achieve easily something that humans fail to: go through life without making noise"

presents a new initiative to promote the discovery of our beautiful island:
Spirit Stops
.
Many visitors and residents from both ends of Fuerteventura love to explore this beautiful island and sometimes have difficulty to fully enjoy the local offerings at the other end as they return to base the same day. Searching for appropriate accommodation to stay overnight is bothersome. Also finding the “hot spots” and “insider tips” in catering and pleasure can be time-consuming.


Spirit Stops provides information about good value-for-money accommodation, catering and events to people who want to get the maximum out of their journey without stressing their wallet. To benefit from special conditions you just mention “Spirit” or “Spirit Stops™” when you make your reservation.
Spirit Stops also is a web-based platform where you can upload your most beautiful and representative pictures of your holiday on the island. Once in a month/quarter the best ones will be selected and they will be published on the www.spiritoffuerteventura.com web site. Join us in making Fuerteventura even more exciting!
