Lobos loop – Fuerteventura

The islet of Lobos, with its mere five square kilometers of extension, is one of the best preserved areas of the Canary Islands. This circular route takes you to discover its great variety of natural treasures: from salt marshes with lagoons that are flooded from time to time to the famous “hornitos”, small volcanic cones.

To get to the islet, you have to take a ferry from the port of Corralejo, in the north of Fuerteventura. From the pier, the first part of the Route passes by the wonderful Concha beach (perfect for a refreshing swim!), the Caldera mountain (the highest elevation in Lobos, at 127 meters) and the Martiño lighthouse .

On your way back, the path takes you through El Puertito, an old settlement of fishermen and shellfish gatherers surrounded by small bays and coves where the turquoise blue of the sea invites you to enter its waters. If you need to recharge your batteries, here is the only restaurant on the island, where you can eat while enjoying the wonderful views of the Atlantic Ocean.

If you don't have a car, you can also get to Corralejo by bus. Check the lines and schedules at this link: www.tiadhe.com/todas-las-rutas/.
