Gran Tarajal

Urban beach with an authentic feel

Gran Tarajal is the main town in the municipality of Tuineje, in the south-central area of ​​Fuerteventura. The area is known for having the best, Blue-Flag-approved urban beach in Fuerteventura. The kilometre-long stretch of dark sand has a magnificent maritime avenue with a marina. It is a perfect place for a walk or a sit-down meal in one of the restaurants offering local cuisine.

This is reflected in the interesting cultural events held close and the large iconic murals that decorate the town.
