Puerto del Rosario is the capital city of Fuerteventura and where your flight will land. Most tourists immediately leave it to go to their resort, but Puerto Rosario is now growing in its own right as a holiday destination.
This shot is of one of the little beaches, close to the port. From here, you can catch a ferry to Gran Canaria and Lanzarote. It was a pleasant place, with a maritime walk way and information boards telling of the city's history.
We discovered that Puerto del Rosario used to be called Puerto Cabras until 1956. Until the late 18th century it was simply a place where shepherds brought their goats to eat and drink. It grew into a little fishing harbour and then into a commercial port trading in cochineal. Now the economy of the city is less dependant on agriculture and fishing and more dependant on tourism.
