That’s Casa Museo de Unamuno as in Unamuno House Museum, and it’s the Puerto del Rosario version rather than the Salamanca one. Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo, to give him his full name, was a Spaniard of many talents. In his time, he wrote plays, poems, and novels, and was also a highly-regarded philosopher.

Exiled by Spanish dictator Miguel Primo de Rivera from his position as Rector of the University of Salamanca in 1924, he resided first in Fuerteventura. And this is the house where he lived.

Travel back in time to the last millennium at Pub Cafetería Oliver, a Puerto del Rosario, Fuerteventura, venue that still plays its tunes on vinyl. There’s an impressive collection of cds too, and like the records, they’re predominately classical or jazz. In a pedestrianised street close to the harbour, Pub Cafetería Oliver is


the ideal place if you’re looking for a cocktail, snack, or something rather more substantial. With its relaxed vibe, you can chill at this joint whether you’re sitting inside or out. The antithesis of the cheesier clubs on the island, Oliver is more for discerning music fans than the beer-swilling tourists.

Fuerteventura is often hailed as having the best beaches of the Canary Islands, and El Charcón is no exception. Although it’s hardly a household name, even to those who find themselves living in a Fuerteventura household, as it’s a 300-metre-long


stretch of what appears to be virgin beach. It does feature sand, but there’s also shingle and rock, making it resemble three beaches rolled into one. You’ll see kitesurfers here, but in truth the Atlantic is gentle enough to swim here too.
