Winter sun

We were both missing the sun and Matt was desperate for some warmish wind surfing so we booked the flights to Fuerteventura on Saturday and left on Wednesday. We stayed ahttp://www.melia.com/en/hotels/spain/fuerteventura/melia-gorriones/index.htmlt . We were so pleased with our choice, quite isolated and on Sotavento beach. It had lovely rooms, beautiful gardens, good food and entertainment. The weather was great, sunny and windy all week, around 23C. I was happy with a book by the pool or on the beach while Matt whizzed about. We had 2 non windsurfing days when we pootled about around the island in a hire car. Here are the photos of our trip.

Cute little stripey thing by the beach.

Our hotel in a very beautiful, isolated spot.

I enjoyed the hotel gardens.

The unheated pool!

Beautiful white sand beaches at the north of the island.

This used to be the capital of the island.

Rather large statues!
