Field notes
Second-largest of the Canary Islands and the windsurf-and-kitesurf capital of Europe. Corralejo (the northern surf-tourism town), Costa Calma (the central beach-resort strip), and Morro Jable (the southern fishing village turned resort) are the typical nomad neighborhoods. Same Spanish DNV as the rest of Spain. The structural draws are the genuinely-bone-dry desert climate (annual rainfall under 100mm — the driest of the major Canaries), 150km of beaches, and a meaningfully calmer pace than Tenerife or Gran Canaria.
