In the history of time Fuerteventura is generally regarded as the oldest of all the Canary Islands and its strange contours come from various volcanic episodes. The last eruption occurred around 7,000 years ago - so you're pretty safe.
Watersports are very popular in Fuerteventura. Every year hundreds of surfers, windsurfers and divers descend on Fuerteventura and during July the island is host to the P.W.A world windsurfing speed and slalom event at Sotavento in the south.You can also take a short boat trip over to the small island of Los Lobos (only 6sqkm) and really get away from it all.
Rosa de la Choza is bijou development at the small town of La Oliva, that was the political center of Fuerteventura from the early 17th to mid-19th century, and you can still see some of the municipal buildings standing today.
La Oliva is now home to the local district town hall (Ayuntamiento). About half an hour from the airport this delightful small town has a health centre, kindergarten, secondary school, church and a large municipal swimming pool. Only ten minute in car separates this town from the idyllic beach of El Cotillo and other beaches are within easy reach.
