Fuerteventura
Morro Jable & Jandia

The far southern tip — proper Morro Jable old town, Cofete wild-beach trailhead, the longest beach in Spain.
A real Canarian fishing town at the islands far south — still has an old town and a working harbour, then opens onto the 25km Playa de Jandia. Behind the mountains lies Cofete — Spain wildest beach (15km, no facilities, accessed by 4x4 piste). Quieter than Corralejo.
