Best time to go to Fuerteventura

Temperatures in Fuerteventura rarely drop below the mid-teens in winter and 25˚C in summer. In August, it can get as hot as 30˚C. Fortunately, the island feels the benefit of trade winds, so it’s never unbearably warm. It’s also one of the drier Canary Islands. The most rain falls on the north of the island between October and March, but even then you rarely get more than 1.5 centimetres a month.

Passports & Visas

British citizens don’t need a visa to enter Spain but must have a valid passport. You can check your passport’s valid for Spain using our handy tool. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/entry-requirements.

Don't forget to arrange your travel money and insurance before you go.

Health & Safety

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. If you’re travelling to the EU and you apply for a card now, you'll get a new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) instead of an EHIC. This entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Spanish nationals. It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment. Visit www.nhs.uk/ehic for full details on what it covers. You do not need to apply for a GHIC if you already have an EHIC. Your EHIC remains valid in the EU until it expires. An EHIC or GHIC is free of charge. For the latest health and safety information, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/health
