Let's Take A Selfie: Fuerteventura

OVERVIEW

Visit some of the most photogenic attractions on Fuerteventura, all of which are excellent settings to snap selfies with your phone or camera. Besides offering tips on how to take the best pictures, your guide will elaborate on the significance of each stop. In the island's interior, you will visit a church whose façade is decorated with Aztec symbols and you will drive by the Guanches Kings, an elevated viewpoint with two towering statues of the kings that ruled ancient Fuerteventura. The viewpoint at Las Peñitas is also noteworthy as it overlooks a verdant oasis in the desert. For historical interest, there is the Casa de Los Coroneles, a 17th-century mansion that has been converted into an art gallery, that you will see from the outside. Near the island's northeastern tip, you will pause for photos at Corralejo's beautiful harbor before continuing on to an expanse of sand dunes that begins at the ocean and seems to run on forever.
