Spain

The resort of Corralejo on Spain’s Canary Island of Fuerteventura is a hive of restaurants, bars and shops set by the beach and harbour. It’s a mecca for tourists but relaxed and not brash.

My camera quickly found a recurring theme under the warm, sunny skies and the light of this island’s latitude – the dazzling whites, sumptuous blues and bold colour schemes of the town’s architecture.

Much of it may be modern and less distinguished, but it has a vibrant style, including one outlandishly styled villa complete with mannequins suspended on the roof – and a bust of Napoleon.

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.
