Realistic Expectations for Your Travel Budget
Setting realistic expectations for your travel budget is important. Many people think they can visit Fuerteventura Island on a tight budget, but most travelers aren't comfortable with a low "shoestring" budget. Think about what you enjoy during your vacations and how you typically travel. Do you prefer resorts, vacation rentals, or hostels? Do you want to visit museums, sights, and participate in activities? Is dining out a priority? These factors will shape both your budget and your itinerary.
The Truth on Budget Travel
While you might think you're a budget traveler, without giving up many of your usual comforts, you'll likely need to spend more than the $76 per day that backpackers often spend.
Backpackers often work within this tight budget by staying in hostel dorms, eating fast food or street food, using public transit, and mainly visiting free attractions.

Those traveling to Fuerteventura Island often aim to see the major attractions, museums, and noteworthy landmarks. Most activities are not free, after all. Therefore, it's realistic to plan on a daily budget of about $174 per person, per day.
Want to Escape the Daily Grind in Style?

With the water close at hand, fresh fish and seafood is very common along with whatever is able to be grown on land. Dishes can be prepared in a variety of ways and are usually accompanied by a hot pepper sauce called mojo made mainly of oil, garlic, vinegar, salt, red pepper, thyme, oregano, coriander, and several other spices. There are two varieties of mojo: rojo (or red, often served with meat) and verde (or green, often served with fish). Beef and pork make up some other dishes, though goat is probably the more common meat. Goat's milk is also used to make a kind of local cheese called majorero.
Many establishments feature breakfast in their pricing, although some tack it on as an added expense. The price and quality can fluctuate depending on the hotel. Being aware of this beforehand helps you gauge if you'll need extra cash. The hotel buffet might be a delicious choice, or you could save some cash by heading to a nearby bakery or cafe.
Pack a water bottle to save on drinks. It's also a way to help protect the environment.

Some popular sights of Fuerteventura include Corralejo and El Jable to the north, which are made up of sand dunes while the south is filled with long beaches and remote bays. The constant winds blowing onto the beaches provide the ideal destination for all kinds of surfing. Windsurfing is common around Corralejo and Playas de Sotavento, wave sailing (windsurfing on the waves) on the coast along the northern half of the island, and regular surfing on the west and north coast where there are large waves. El Cotillo is a small fishing village in the north-west of the Island with very long beach to the south of the village and a few calm beaches to the north. These northern beaches are popular with snorkelers and sunbathers.
The island also has a few museums which include The Antigua Windmill Craft Centre, The Salt Museum, and The Atalayita Archeological Interpretation Centre as well as a sculpture park in the capital, Puerto del Rosario. It is an open-air park consisting of around 100 sculptures crafted by local artists.
Isla de los Lobos, or Lobos Island, is another interesting sight-a nature reserve that has been without permanent human population since 1982. It is accessible to tourists via ferry from Corralejo Harbor, and features an old lighthouse, wildlife, walking trails, and beautiful views. The ferry ride is very short and it only takes about 2-3 hours to walk the island.
The Canary Islands, Fuerteventura included, are sometimes considered to be the "Hawaii of the Atlantic." The constant winds make for great surf for watersports of all kinds. Surfing of course is popular as is wind and kite surfing. Rental stands are scattered throughout the island, most of which will provide private or group lessons.
