About corralejo-fuerteventura.net
Despite having resort facilities since the 1950s, when the first
ones opened, it still seems as a passing-through point for many
people. Therefore we decided to make a small website to be the FastFacts
guide to the town and the area, so that people can quickly decide what
they want to get out of the town and enjoy the facilities more.
