The Green, Green Grass of ..... Fuerteventura!

We have been having a lot of rain on Fuerteventura since November last year. This is VERY uncharacteristic of the island as it is the driest of all the Canary Islands!

People who have been born and brought up here have never seen the weather like this - at first is was a novelty for them, but now they hate the rain as much as the rest of us!

It has however, transformed the countryside of Fuerteventura into green and colourful landscapes. Grassy shubs and wild flowers like the daisy-type with white and yellow heads, and lilac bell-shaped flowers smile at the sun and sway in the breeze.

Luckily, it seems to rain mostly at night so the days still remain bright and clear and tourists are returning home with good suntans.
