Craftsmen from all the islands are united in this event. On display are ancient crafts till the very latest state-of-the-art, all brought together to please the general public.
OKAPI is regularly organising a second-hand market in Parque Holandés and in Puerto del Rosario. The atmosphere is friendly, cosy and relaxed. With a bit of luck and patience you might find that particular item you were looking for a long time and… at bargain prices.
A Charity Walk was held on Saturday 10th April starting from 3 p.m. from the Cultural Centre, Triquivijate. A lady called Anna, who lives in the village, as part of her 70th birthday celebrations, has initiated it.
Spirit of Fuerteventura would like to thank all the people who made this event possible. It was a marvellous experience to enjoy the Blues and to see people from all over the world being united by the only common language: emotions. Music is a universal way to communicate these emotions and therefore should be supported with high priority. Fuerteventura can become an island that is renowned as a place where music can thrive and where people are welcome to enjoy a peaceful time. Now that the stage is empty and that we go back to our daily life, we all could think about how to enlarge the profile of this island. For those who’d like to put some energy into this thought, please send your ideas to our contact address and we will make time to evaluate your suggestions and distribute them through our website. Thank you in advance for your help.
In the meantime, please enjoy the pictures from our "Picture Gallery", to the left by klicking on "Blues Festival". May they be a warm remembrance to beautiful moments and an invitation to join the next festival. All pictures (c) Spirit of Fuerteventura, unless stated otherwise.

Rolf and Monika Ahrens, their family and close friends, are sad to announce the decease of their loyal buddy “SAMMY”. He was rescued from the “Killing Fields” of Fuerteventura, with the help of OKAPI and TIERHILFE FUERTEVENTURA e.V. and lived happily for many years with people who loved him intensely. We won’t forget you!
Mamba, a female dog of the Samuyeda race, was very ill when she came to us, 8 months ago. She just stood there and shook her head. She couldn’t walk and sprung like a little rabbit. The day before she left us, she slowly walked with us and her buddies into the free nature that surrounds us, at Finca Esquinzo. We called her Snowflake because she could hug us so gently and she always was so friendly to us. She fought so bravely against her disease, showing her weakness, but at the same time also her strength. Let us hope that Rainer Rilkes is right when he said: “All who go in beauty will resurrect in beauty, one day.” Snowflake surely has deserved it.
