Puerto del Rosario

Puerto del Rosario is a busy port and the capital of Fuerteventura, one of Spain's Canary Islands. It's known for its whitewashed houses and open-air artworks, including giant snail sculptures along the harbor promenade. Close to the harbor, Playa Chica is a sheltered beach with clear waters. Playa Blanca, to the south, has strong surf. Shops line León y Castillo and the pedestrianized Primero de Mayo streets.
