Puerto Del Rosario brings together public art, bathing spots with different features and a circular route along Fuerteventura’s northeast coast. For your stay, you can focus on the townscape and culture, calm waters or a coastal route.
Public Art and Unamuno’s Home
The Parque EscultĂłrico (Sculpture Park) comprises more than 198 contemporary sculptures spread throughout the city. They stand along streets, in squares and at roundabouts; the park can be visited free of charge at any time. Unlike a collection in a single location, the art here forms part of the townscape in many places.
The Casa Museo Unamuno (Unamuno House Museum) is located in the house where Miguel de Unamuno lived during his exile on Fuerteventura in 1924. It evokes the image of a bourgeois home from the previous century, with the scent of fine wood, large curtains, a typewriter and a gramophone. Contemporary public art and Unamuno’s historic stay thus offer two distinct cultural experiences.
Beaches with Different Features
Playa Chica is an urban beach with calm waters in the centre of Puerto del Rosario. Playa Blanca lies south of the town and also offers calm waters, as well as light-coloured, fine sand. Both beaches have calm waters; Playa Blanca also has light-coloured, fine sand.
Playa de Los Pozos has been renovated and restored and is integrated into the urban fabric as an accessible, safe place for bathing and public use. Playa Blanca is designated as accessible; it also has parking, restaurants, showers and toilets. These facilities may change, so check local information before your visit.
Circular Route and Transport
The Puerto del Rosario Trail is a circular route along the northeast coast of Fuerteventura. It follows easy, open, non-technical paths and then descends back to Puerto del Rosario. If you would like to include a route rather than a bathing spot in your stay, the trail offers a different focus.
Puerto del Rosario is connected to Fuerteventura’s main towns by the island’s bus network. Routes and timetables change, so check the operator’s latest information before making a specific journey.
The marina has 60 berths for boats up to 12 metres long, with a draught of five metres. Its specifications may change; check this information before using the marina for nautical purposes.
Fiestas de la Virgen del Rosario
The Fiestas de la Virgen del Rosario combine religious services, offerings and processions in honour of the patron saint with cultural, sporting and social activities. If you would like to plan your trip around the festivities, check the dates and programme for the relevant edition, as the programme may change.
