Fuerteventura the Majorera Island

This is such a special lovely island having spent a wonderful seven days there in the month of March full of sun enjoying its sunshine with its warm rays Spending such peace and tranquility having mild winds so humid in its climate the beaches make it a windsurfers paradise with just 8 days rain yearly, sun on your plate This island looks barren in many parts where the goats graze on the open plains but its beaches are so beautifully long giving one lovely view to make a start Its name comes from the Spanish wording "Fuert" means strong, "Ventura" means winds the delicacy of its Majorero cheese bringing many visitors to say taste, please This island wasn't found till the 15th Century but it exceeded all native expectations Caleta de Fuste, where we stayed, is a super resort sun sand and even seals make it a sensation (Having spent a wonderful week on the island of Fuerteventura, one of the group of islands that makes the Canary Islands which sits 100 kms off the North African coast, it was a week of wonderful sunshine, great views, and lovely food. So this is a little piece written to show poetically what a lovely island it truly is.)

Hello Gordon. Good Morning. I love this. Your chosen words give imagery to the reader's mind. I enjoyed your expression of "beautifully long". Is that not grand, yes it is. Also, your expression of "bringing many visitors to say taste". How true is that once any sea is within one's soul. It remains. It was an honor turning to your page and a wonderful way to start the morning. Thank you for sharing with us. Blessings now and always. (smile)

I am envious Gordon. It sounds superb. Your description is better than a travel guide. I can almost feel the breeze and see the windsurfers. Exceptional Thank you.
