Description
Fibre Broadband with WiFi now available
El Cotillo is a small fishing village with two harbours, a good number and variety of restaurants and bars, a large supermarket two minutes away from the apartment and many other interesting shops.
To the north of the village are a variety of beaches and lagoons varying in size from “La Concha” beach with its large car park, beach café, toilets and showers to small secluded beaches with no facilities. The lagoons protect the beaches from the Atlantic swells making them easy to swim in.
To the south lie the “surfer beaches”, many large bays, exposed to the Atlantic swells and a paradise for surfers, wind surfers and kite surfers. Lie on the beach and watch the action or join in. At the time of writing there are several windsurfing schools less that a minute from the apartment. For walkers there is a 5km coastal cliff top walk offering spectacular views of the ocean to the west and the hills and extinct volcanoes to the east.
The accommodation is a two-bedroom duplex apartment, facing south on the edge of El Cotillo overlooking the hills and extinct volcanoes and with views of the ocean.
The main entrance leads onto a very large terrace. This area is private, sheltered from the prevailing winds and ideal for sunbathing, alfresco dining and admiring the view.

How to get there
By air to Fuerteventura Airport. Most guests hire a car from the airport. Once clear of the airport it is a relaxing 45 minute drive over the hills and across the island, on almost deserted roads, to El Cotillo. However please watch the speed limits as the police are very strict. El Carmen is situated on the left, just as you enter El Cotillo and opposite the football ground. Turn left off the main road just past the supermarket and then turn right into the car park for the complex
Distances
El Cotillo is really a large village and just about everything is within walking distance. The main supermarket is only two minutes away, the nearest tapas and pizza restaurant less than a minutes walk from the apartment. There is a general store, selling almost everything you may need or forgot to pack, next to this restaurant. The village has a new part and an old part and is great to explore and boasts many restaurants, bars and cafes all an easy walk away.
