I can’t say enough good things about my incredible and hospitable stay at the Hotel Elba Palace Golf as well which has one of the best golf courses in Spain. The locals I met there were so warm, friendly and beaming with pride when I asked anything about their lovely island.

“With its volcanic, rugged terrain surrounded by breathtaking beaches, a Spanish island located just off the coast of Saharan Africa earned the name Fuerteventura. It takes on three different meanings in Spanish: strong adventure, strong fortune and strong wind. With all that in mind, I went with high expectations….”
