Last Days of Fuerte Que Suerte!

We were down to our last couple of days in Fuerteventura.  After an amazing sunrise we headed out for another drive.  We wanted to explore the southern part of the island which we hadn't been to yet.  First we stopped for a meal and a trip to the store to gather some supplies for the day.


 Aida and I were in the store getting things and caught this epic shot of Mary outside having a mini siesta.  She's a gypsy woman right here!! We were cracking up at the sight!!!


We kept moving, on the hunt for a proper beach to chill at.  We saw this spot which was SUPER windy, making it perfect for the kiteboarders to come out and do their thing.  They were incredible!  Those dudes catch a wind current, blast off waves, and launch 20+ feet in the air!! So sick!!


We kept mobbing...


All throughout the island are roundabouts, decorated with random art!  This one was absolutely awesome!!! I don't know the significance of it but you can let your mind do some imagining....



We finally made it to Jandia for a swim.  As most, if not all, of the beaches in Spain are nude beaches, this one was chock full of old naked white people, dotted with some "younger" (under 40) persons burning in the sun.  It was kinda haggard... ahahah.. But super fun nonetheless...




After the swim, we followed the map en route to the tip of the island.  We stumbled across a gypsy village, occupied by native cabras.  These things were gnarly!  Look at this bag!!! ahahhahahh!! Mary and Aida were hanging out the car, yelling "BAAAAAAA!!! BAAAAAAAA!!!".  Troy got out and grabbed a goat skull and brought it home with him... That shit's hi-jinx though... ahah.. I told him, "Don't let that shit touch me or any of my things.."  They told me i watch too many movies.. ahahh!


We had to turn around and find a different route to the lighthouse at the tip of the island and came across this skatepark.  The ramps were pretty shit but we had a quick shred which is always a good time.


We made it to the lighthouse at Punta de Jandia!  The very most southern part of the island!  It was so rad!  The ground was made up of black volcanic stones and the views were incredible!


Self shots are hard to take and usually turn out pretty lame... ahhaha! This lady was really going for it!!





As we were bailing there was a whole little makeshift town made up of vans, trucks, and other random vehicles put together to form houses!  That's straight up gypsy shit!! So sick..


After the cruise, we went back to Tito's place for another night in Giniginimar.  The next day we had to make our way back to Corralejo but I would've stayed at Tito's forever.  Nicest place I've ever been...



We took a little scenic route back to the northern side.... Epic views everywhere on the island...  We came across this salt reserve.  There are little white dots in the top of this photo that are piles of salt extracted from these squares..  Super tight!


I think this whale got dried out from the salt.


We hopped back in the car and mobbed to a beach just south of Corralejo for a little swim and chill time.  there was crystal clear water and rock walls to protect you from the wind while you siesta... The four of us piled in a horseshoe of rocks and passed out for a while.




When we got to Javi's place, he was at his homie's ramp that was built inside his house!!


the next morning, we loaded up on the plane... Off to Gran Canaria!!  Gracias, Fuerte!  Until next time.....
