If the southern route of Fuerteventura is equivalent to bathing and endless beaches, the northern route is not far behind, although with the added charm of the interior of the island and mythical mountains since aboriginal times. Departing from Puerto del Rosario, a renowned capital and shopping area, this excursion by car leads to the village of Tetir and the protected area of Vallebrón, which includes two large ravines and a mountainous system at an altitude of 690 meters, one of the highest elevations on the island, proof of the softness of the relief of this island where the sun always shines.

La Palma is a visual treat characterised by lush greenness. As confirmation, all you have to do take this car trip from the port of Tazacorte, in the west, to the capital, crossing the northern slopes of the island. Although bends are inevitable, driving up to Roque de los Muchachos and enjoying the views of the Atlantic on the descent to Santa Cruz is priceless. The excursion can also be undertaken in the opposite direction, going towards the west of the island to end up in Tazacorte.

This route by car not only allows you to see how varied El Hierro is, but, in the end, the Mar de las Calmas lends meaning to the island's reputation as a haven of peace.

Nearby, Guazaroca surprises you with its thatched houses, while the nearby viewpoint of La Peña, the work of César Manrique, offers stunning views of El Golfo and the rocks of Salmor.

A car route with curves and temperature changes does not seem, a priori, very attractive. But everything changes when this route is followed. From the capital to a valley whose name could not be more accurate, Vallehermoso [Beautiful Valley], this is the essence of La Gomera. Endless palm groves, a dense laurel forest of the Tertiary worthy of the best fairy tale, impressive basins leading to villages of typical architecture comprising stone and red tiles, as well as bathing areas for a necessary dip, make the northeast of the island an excursion to highlight.

Traveling through the southwest of Tenerife to Masca is a rich experience of sun, beaches, harbors and beautiful landscapes to an already mythical hamlet.

The award-winning La Arena Beach is the ideal place to swim and eat in its restaurants, something also recommended just over a kilometer away, in the oldest part.

In La Palma, the path traced in the stars has been materialized so that everyone who wants to can stop, walk it and reconcile with their surroundings before returning to their usual universe.

Fuerteventura could be described in a single word: beaches. Describing the incredible vista of Sotavento is easy: it's the islands best known beach in the world. Just its length, about nine kilometres, leaves visitors speechless. At low tide, the island gains so much land that some residents doubt that Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands. The huge lagoons that are created at low tide, the constant sunshine and infinite golden sand make it worthy of another synonym: paradise.
