El Cotillo is located on the west coast of Fuerteventura. It is an important and charming fishing and tourist town. El CotilloIt is known for its ineffable seafaring flavour, the versatility of its magnificent beaches and beautiful lagoons with their crystal-clear waters and white sand; it offers everything from absolute relaxation to the exploration of its impressive landscapes.
On the one hand there is the small bay where fishing boats moor and on the other the marvellous views from the Castillo del Tostón towards the cliffs of the area, all bathed in the golden colour of the sand.
At El Cotillo you can enjoy a spectacular magical sunset: the sun sets over the Atlantic, the sky changes colours: pink, orange, yellow... Each sunset is a unique sensation not to be missed!
