Calma Tourist Information by Gary Marshall
Costa
de la Calma Hotels / Self-Catering
Accommodation on Costa de la Calma
Costa Calma is situated on
the east coast of Fuerteventura, around 50 miles (80km) south of the island's
airport. This purpose-built resort is popular with families and couples
looking for a quiet and relaxing beach holiday. The highlight of Costa
Calma is its attractive beach of fine sand which rarely gets crowded, even
during the high season.
Costa Calma's first hotel
opened in 1977, but tourism didn't really take off here until the 1980's
when the new road from the capital, Puerto del Rosario, was completed.
The resort was built around the small hamlet of Canada del Rio, although
great care was taken to ensure the area was not buried under a sea of concrete
and high-rise hotels. Several green zones have been created in and around
the resort. The approach road to Costa Calma, which is surrounded by Canarian
pines and palm trees, is an important wildlife haven and is home to a flock
of colourful European Hoopoes.
 The
main beach at Costa Calma is situated within a large bay and is about a
mile long. The sea here is usually quite calm (hence the resort's name)
so is suitable for children. Various facilities are available, including
showers, toilets and a small beach bar. There is also a windsurfing school.
Costa Calma does not have a seafront promenade - instead many of the apartments
and hotels are situated directly next to the beach.
To the south of Costa Calma
is the huge Playa de Sotavento, which stretches for about 12 miles (20km)
towards the neighbouring resort of Morro Jable. This beach can get quite
breezy, so it is usually popular among windsurfers. There is even a large
wind farm situated nearby. An extinct volcano, Pico de Zarza, overlooks
Sotavento beach to create a stunning and memorable scene. Some holidaymakers
attempt to walk from Costa Calma to Morro Jable. If you want to try this,
allow yourself plenty of time and go prepared. Take lots of water, some
food and sunscreen. Fortunately though, there is a reliable bus service
between the two resorts, so you do not have to walk back. Alternatively,
a taxi ride from Morro Jable costs about 16 euros.
There are several small shopping
centres dotted throughout Costa Calma, such as El Palmeral, Bahia Calma
and Sotavento. At most of these complexes you will find supermarkets, clothing
stores and souvenir shops. One of the most popular events in Costa Calma
is the weekly Sunday morning market. The colourful stalls sell a range
of goods aimed at holidaymakers.
Costa Calma has many reasonably
priced restaurants offering Italian, Chinese and local cuisine. Nightlife
in the resort tends to be fairly quiet, although there are several discos
and late night bars. One of the most popular discos is Bounce in the El
Palmeral shopping centre. Some of the bars provide entertainment such as
karaoke nights, although this is usually aimed towards German tourists.
There are several bus stops
throughout Costa Calma, with services to Morro Jable, Pajara, Costa de
Antigua and Puerto del Rosario. Bus timetables can usually be found in
local magazines.

Jable Tourist Information by Gary Marshall
Morro
Jable Hotels / Self-Catering
Accommodation in Fuerteventura
Morro Jable is a resort situated
on the southern tip of Fuerteventura. The town actually consists of two
parts, Jandia, which is the modern resort, and the old fishing village
of Morro Jable. Both parts, which merge into one another, are together
often referred to as Jandia by many travel brochures. To further confuse
things, the peninsular on which the town is situated is also known as 'Jandia'.
Morro Jable is now one of
the island's largest resorts, popular with German and British holidaymakers.
It is best known for its superb beaches of fine white sand which stretch
for several miles. The section of beach close to the lighthouse is known
as Playa de Matorral and is suitable for young children. Between Playa
de Matorral and the road is a protected area of natural salt marshes.
 There
is an excellent choice of water sports available at Morro Jable, including
windsurfing, sailing and jet skiing. One of the most popular excursions
is the catamaran sailing trip around the magnificent Jandia peninsular.
A short distance from the resort is the 807-metre Pico de Zarza, the highest
point on the island. Many holidaymakers attempt to climb the mountain -
and the superb views from the summit make it worthwhile - although you
should go well prepared with food, water and sun hat if you are tempted
to have a go.
The main road through the
resort is the Avenida del Saladar. Alongside this tree-lined thoroughfare,
which runs parallel to the seafront, are various bars, cafes and restaurants.
There are also several shopping centres in Morro Jable, the biggest one
being the Cosmo Centro Comercial. The Cosmo centre is the resort's focal
point; as well as having numerous shops, the complex also hosts the Thursday
morning market and is home to the Aloe Vera centre. This is a good place
to come if you are suffering from a bit of sunburn - the Aloe Vera oils,
which are produced from one of the island's main crops, can really help
to soothe the pain.
Most of Morro Jable's nightlife
takes place in the pubs around the Cosmo Centre. Although there are a couple
of discos in the resort, the action is fairly low key. The area around
the old harbour is packed with traditional restaurants offering locally-sourced
seafood. There are a variety of restaurants along the promenade serving
a range of cuisine, including Chinese, Italian and Canarian.
The 18-hole Jandia Golf Club
is situated 3 miles (5km) north of the resort. This par-72 course, designed
by Ron Kirby and opened in 2007, benefits from a superb natural setting.
As it is fairly challenging, the course is recommended for more experienced
players.
Morro Jable is about 55 miles
(90km) from Fuerteventura's airport, although a new road which opened in
2005 has reduced transfer times. There are occasional buses from the resort
to Caleta de Fuste and the airport. Morro Jable's tourist office is located
in the Cosmo Centro Comercial. Maps and information about excursions are
both available from here. There are ferry services from Morro Jable to
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
