The dunes
This is an unmissable stop on a trip to the island of Fuerteventura.
It’s like a slither of the Sahara Desert has broken away from the might of Africa and drifted off into the Atlantic Ocean. Tall, honey-coloured sand dunes sit just a short distance away from the sea. They shift silently and create beautiful landscapes and patterns.
Its small scale means holidaymakers amble about this natural playground. The two vast hotels in the area barely peep above the sand from certain vantage points, while the strong light reflecting off the sand creates some unusual photographic opportunities.

Great images! I have only ever seen the dunes driving between Caleta de Fuste and Corralejo, but they are amazing! :)

Thanks as ever, Richard – I really do appreciate it. So you’ve seen Fuerteventura for yourself? You liked?

Went there last year. It was okay – I spent a lot of time playing ‘count the tattoos’ with my other half. Oddly, he won most times as he got women and I got men… :)

I though that said you were counting the tattoos on your other half! I see your point – made similar observations myself. Best stick to the architecture, dunes and other beauties.
