VITALS Photo: GKA Wave and Strapless Tour NO WIND? For those highly rare times when the wind isn’t playing ball, you can take your pick of a range of activities to be found on this island in the sun. Surfing is popular here, with a handful of world-class breaks to be found in the north. You can also SUP, kayak, snorkel, or – if you’re in the north of the island – you can take dune buggy excursions, or take a ferry trip to one of the outer islands to look at some pretty crazy landscapes… Failing that, you could hit the party towns in Lanzarote, just a 30 minute ferry ride away. Photo: GKA Wave and Strapless Tour Fuerte is a 4-5 hour flight from mainland Europe, landing at the airport near Puerto del Rosario. In the summer, bring a 5 and 8. Any other time, bring a 9 and a 12. 3/2 Shorty will do the trick. Destination Guide Local beer costs around €2. Canarians love their food. Go get some papas arrugadas, seafood, or goats cheese and delicious meats. The Fuerte Action Bar in Costa Calma is where it’s at. Bands, burgers, cocktails and delicious ice-creams.
