Car rental in Puerto del Rosario

In Puerto del Rosario you can discover sights like the church Iglésia Nuestra Senora del Rosario. Inside the small church in the city center you can see a Madonna of the Rosary known on the island. There are a few dozen sculptures scattered in the city center, you can find them in Calle León y Castillo, in the pedestrian street Calle Primero del Mayo and along the waterfront. Along the waterfront is the Fuente de la Explanada fountain, with scenes from the lives of the residents, and the Horno de Cal, a historic lime kiln. The Casa Museo Miguel de Unamuno, the house and museum of the Basque writer who lived here in exile. But if you want to explore further cities and possibly their sights on Fuerteventura, then definitely book a rental car for your trip, because you will need it not only when exploring the sights, but also during a city trip.

To get to the really beautiful places and beaches of the island, it is advisable to take a rental car. The roads on Fuerteventura were completely renewed a few years ago and are therefore very well passable. However, some highlights of the island can only be reached via sometimes bumpy and adventurous roads. The car rental companies on the island forbid it, however (probably from experience) to visit these places with normal cars. If you want to reach everything on the island, you have to rent an SUV

Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, northwest off Africa's coast. Declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 2009, Fuerteventura is blessed with the most beautiful beaches in the archipelago, a ruggedly beautiful landscape and over 3.000 hours of sunshine. It has long been a top destination for visitors interested in the island's cultural heritage and admiring the large number of centuries-old mansions and beautiful churches. Popular with tourists are the wide sandy beaches along the east coast. The constant winds make the beaches of the island interesting for water sports enthusiasts, wave riders on the west coast, wind surfers in the north near Corralejo or on the east coast (especially on the long stretch of beach between the Costa Calma and Jandía). Here, especially in recent years, kitesurfing has also established itself. The west of the island consists to a large extent of steep coast with life-threatening offshore currents. In Fuerteventura's mountainous landscape, but also on the slopes sloping down to the beaches of the east coast, one can encounter the cute atlas squirrels, which move nimbly through the rocks and are accustomed to humans from case to case. The first animals were introduced from North Africa in 1965, they multiplied rapidly and today sometimes cause serious damage to vegetation.
