We flew from Salzburg to Fuerteventura with a quick stop on the adjacent island, Lanzarote. The five-hour flight was quite uneventful so I occupied myself with taking pictures.
|
|
After a quick stop at the Lanzarote airport we took off again for a short hop to the next island.
|
|
There is Island Korčula on the right.
|
|
We stayed at an apartment hotel in Corralejo at the northern tip of the island. The place was big, pleasant, quiet, and had several swimming pools for those who preferred to stay put.
|
|
Lots of greenery around the resort is actually deceiving as the island itself is not nearly as green.

There is a road that ascends the hills above Viganj and offers great views over the coast and Island Korčula across the channel. The land jutting into the sea on the left is our beach.

The ferry ride to Island Korčula took about 15 minutes. Orebić in the background.

The whole island is full of this little red plant. I have no idea what it's called, but it makes for a colorful foreground.

Fuerteventura is a very windy island so people have made use of the wind power since ancient times. And yes, that's me. :)
|
|
It reminded me of some Greek islands.
|
|
The landscape between Corralejo and El Cotillo is just as deserted and barren as most of the island. Surprisingly, there were many stone fences.
|
|
We skipped breakfast and started at about 7 a.m., drove across the whole island and arrived at the town of Morro Jable at about 9 a.m. The place is quite touristy, but our main interest was the beach.
|
|
The southern tip of the island is very desolate. The road isn't paved and only few people make it this far. This is the view from the lighthouse at the very end of the peninsula back towards the island.

The island is supposed to be famous for goats, but we only saw a handful the whole week.

When you cross the bridge to Island Krk, this is the first view on the right-hand side. Pretty, I'd say.
|
|
From the top you can see Stara Baška and some islands in the background.
|
|
On the way to Island Krk, the late afternoon light was a sign there would be a great sunset.
