]]>Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:07:43 -0800http://www.flightstofuerteventurauk.co.uk/1/post/2010/03/fuerteventura-windsurfing.htmlToday was the first day of official competition for the Fuerte Wave Classic!

The wind and waves finally came today in the North Shore of Fuerteventura. All the riders were ready to go sailing at 10:00 on the spot today. At first the wind was a bit shy, but it quickly came in and the organization saw the opportunity to run the first heats. During the whole day the wind was quite off-shore, blowing from 13 to 20 knots, with good sets of 2m waves. The riders prepared their bigger board and sails from 4.5 to 5.3m² for the heaviest, and they were all good powered during their heats.

The majority of visitors to Fuerteventura will simply pass through the city on their way to the beach resorts, however if you are looking for more of the real Fuerteventura then spend a day exploring. 50% of the Islands population live here and as the city isn’t based around tourism you will find some great little gems of places to eat and stay.

Flights to Fuerteventura Tip: Stay at Hotel JM Puerto Rosario. Nice big beds and good internet access.

Now what, well chances are you have bought a package holiday so you will probably be collected at the airport.

If not, then do not worry, a taxi to Puerto del Rosario will cost around 8 euros or you can catch the airport bus which was 0.90 cents at the time of writing. If you plan to do a lot of travelling around the Island then why don’t you hire a car. Sure taxis are easier but the costs will soon rack up.

There are many care hire offices at the airport. Tip – book well in advance and you will save a small fortune on the cost of the car. Some car hire companies - www.avis.co.uk, www.auto-europe.co.uk, & Travel Supermarket.

The boost comes hot on the heels of the news that the bucket airline will invest in a multi-million pound hangar at the airport.

The busy airport already has low-cost flights to Malaga, Alicante, Palma, Faro and Carcassonne.

But from May this year, Europe’s largest low fares airline will add extra flights on all five destinations.

It means Malaga now has seven low-cost flights a week, Alicante six flights a week, Palma seven flights a week, Faro six flights a week and Carcassonne goes to three flights a week.

New chief executive of the airport Iain Cochrane said: “This is more excellent news for the airport.

“As well as these welcome extras, we have new Ryanair routes starting to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands and Ibiza next month, plus summer flights to Jersey and Turkey with other airlines.” More info can be found here. Source: www.ayrshirepost.net
