The recent months have seen a damp British winter, prompting many to yearn for sunnier and warmer climates. While some hot destinations require long flights, there are parts of Europe where you can still enjoy pleasant weather without bundling up in layers.
One such destination is Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, offering affordable holidays, beautiful beaches, and temperatures reaching 22C in March. Due to its popularity among Brits, there are various budget-friendly deals available for last-minute getaways. Jet2Holidays is currently offering £150 off trips before June, and other companies like TUI, Loveholidays, and On the Beach provide packages from multiple UK airports.
Once on the island, dining out can be cost-effective with pints averaging £3 and the possibility of a three-course meal for two costing around €70 in Corralejo (approximately £61). Corralejo is a popular town on the island known for its restaurants, bars, hotels, and the stunning Corralejo Grandes Playas beach with soft sands and clear waters, perfect for leisurely strolls or enjoying beachfront views with a cocktail.
Fuerteventura boasts other beautiful spots like El Cotillo, Cofete, and Sotavento beaches, favored by British tourists for their ideal conditions for various watersports. The volcanic landscape offers hiking and cycling trails catering to different levels of experience, with the Corralejo Natural Park showcasing the largest dunes in the Canaries, accessible for buggy tours.
If March doesn’t suit your schedule, the Canary Islands enjoy year-round sunshine, providing a warm escape even in the cooler months. With temperatures milder than the UK, these picturesque islands offer ample opportunities for a sunny retreat.
