Temperatures in the winter reach around 22° Celsius, so whatever time you enjoy your holiday in Fuerteventura you can be confident of getting a tan.
Attractions
After you’ve explored the beauty of Antigua’s wonderful shoreline, you might be wondering what you can do next. Why not begin with a visit to the castle at Caleta de Fuste, a wonderful heritage site built in 1743? After that you can visit the wonderful Salinas de El Carmen salt mines, the Centro Turistico Cultural Molino de Antigua to view the works of major artists, and to finish it all off Antigua’s market, which is advertised throughout the town. You may also visit Antigua's culturally revered restored windmill which sells crafts and gifts for your holiday mementos!
Nightlife
Fuerteventura isn’t generally known as a clubbing destination, so prepare yourself for a wonderfully serene holiday in Antigua. After you have watched the entertainment provided by your hotel, you'll find that Antigua offers a fine selection of bars and restaurants providing wonderful meals and local specialties, including fish freshly caught from the local port that day. Everyone is welcome, and the locals will ensure you enjoy a comfortable and memorable evening as you dine on the beachfront.
