Puerto del Rosario

Why Choose Our Destination?

Puerto del Rosario bids welcome to the visitor arriving on the Island of Fuerteventura, finding a young borough, which has managed to blend and keep in harmony its administrative and residential development and tourism together with respect for the environment, giving an individual identity to a modern town and meeting place. The borough of Puerto del Rosario extends from the eastern to the western coast of the island of Fuerteventura. To the north it borders on the municipal district of Oliva and to the south it abuts on those of Betancuria and Antigua, while its coasts are bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. The population amounts to some 40,000 inhabitants and its economic activity is based mainly on tourism, trade and the service sector. Puerto del Rosario is the administrative capital of the island, the home of a large number of services, a centre of culture and leisure, with an intensive annual programme, a paradise for shopping and a leading light in terms of business, to which should be added its position as a centre of communications and the fact that it is near to the main tourist resorts. These are some of the many aspects which define Puerto del Rosario as a holiday destination.
