This rustic little village has plenty of charm and character for those looking for a quiet getaway with gorgeous beaches. The town has a rich history, and was previously a smuggler's harbour used by Fuerteventurans shipping goods off to Gran Canaria where the prices were better. The 18th century Fortaleza del Tostón overlooks the town from the cliffs to the south of the harbour. A highlight of a visit to Cotillo are the lagoons which feature crystal clear azure water and flawless beaches to tan on.
