Fuerteventura's Canary Islands setting brings a mild subtropical climate with warm, sunny weather for most of the year, and summer from June to September is the hottest and busiest season. Canarian cooking leans on fresh seafood, goat cheese and papas arrugadas with mojo sauce, so meals on the island tend to be simple and regional. Flights connect the Canary Islands to mainland Spain, and ferries and short flights link the islands to each other. Spanish is the main language, so a few words go a long way when travelling between the resorts and the centre.
