What to Expect

on the <Insert trail here>

The GR131 on Fuerteventura promises wide-open terrain, volcanic geology and long distances between shade. But do keep in mind that this is not a lush trail, but it’s still deeply atmospheric, especially at sunrise and sunset.

HIGHLIGHTS

🌋 Calderón Hondo and Northern Volcanic Cones

Well-preserved volcanic craters provide an immediate introduction to the island’s geology, with black lava, red scoria, and expansive northern views.

🌋 Dunes and Lava Fields near Corralejo

Pale sand dunes contrast sharply with dark lava flows, showcasing the unique overlap of desert and volcanic landscapes near the coast.

⛰️ Views of Sacred Mount Tindaya

Rising alone from the plains, Tindaya is spiritually significant and visible across multiple stages, acting as a constant landmark through the north and centre of the island.

🏛️ Betancuria – Historic Island Capital

Set in a sheltered valley, Betancuria offers palm trees, stone buildings, and a rare sense of greenery — a welcome contrast to the surrounding arid terrain.

This striking lighthouse juts out at the edge of the beach and is a landmark for the town.

🏝️ Playa del Matorral (Morro Jable Beach)

One of the longest white-sand beaches on the island, this stretch is perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or trying out water sports like windsurfing, paddle boarding, and kayaking. The calm, clear waters and lifeguards on duty make it great for a chill or active day by the sea.

Continuing On

If you’re doing the next leg of the GR131, you can catch a ferry Fuerteventura to Gran Canaria which takes about 2 hours. There are multiple daily sailings, with the earliest departure around 06:00am and the last around 18:00pm.

The main ferry operators for this route are Fred. Olsen Express and Naviera Armas and prices range between 50 to 70 EUR depending on the day. It is best to book this in advance for the best deal.

Note: Ensure that you select the non-resident so that you get the right ticket as the ferries operators have special discounts which are available to residents only.

Other bits of Useful Information

All the things which might have been missed

🏕️ Wild Camping

Note: Wild camping is officially prohibited in the Canary Islands, but many hikers practice discreet bivouac following Leave-No-Trace principles to bridge wilderness stages where official accommodation is absent.

🚰 Water

The island can be very dry especially in the early stages. It is best up fill up in each town before you leave (usually 3–4 litres is enough depending on weather).

Please note that on the Canary Islands, tap water comes from desalinated sea water. This often has poor taste and high mineral content. Although it is perfectly drinkable, many opt to get store bought water which is very affordable on the islands.

🍔 Map of Food Spots

Finding great places to eat while on the trail can sometimes be tricky, so I’ve put together all my recommendations in a Google Maps list called

🗺️ Recommended Food Spots

It includes places I’ve personally visited as well as others that are highly rated by the local community.

💩 Toilets

Fortunately, you will pass by at least one public toilets (known locally as baños públicos) each day. They can be found in town such as Tunte, Cruz de Tejeda and Artenara. You can also rely on official campsite to have proper flushable toilets and local bars and restaurants.

🚎 Public Transport Tip

Be careful when using Google Maps. Although the schedule is correct, it does not suggest all routes and the live times is usually off. It is best to provide a 15minute or so buffer and look at the schedule of the lines using the official website. It is also helpful to down the official bus app; GuaguasLPA and GuaguasGLOBAL for up to the minute updates.

📶 Phone Reception

Phone reception along the trail is generally quite good. Since you pass through one or two towns each day, you’ll usually have signal for most of the route. The only place where reception can be a bit patchy was around Tamadaba Natural Park near the campsite.

💶 Cash

Most places along the trail—supermarkets and larger restaurants—accept card payments, so it’s easy to manage expenses without carrying much cash.

The only spots that typically require cash are the small, traditional Spanish-style bars in the quieter towns. To give some perspective, I started the trip with €70 and ended with about €50 left, even while eating out at least once a day.
