Workation in El Cotillo: the essentials
Barely 1,700 people live in El Cotillo, a former fishing village in the municipality of La Oliva on Fuerteventura's north-west coast. South of the little harbour, the long sands of Piedra Playa take the full Atlantic swell and attract surfers, while the shallow lagoons of Los Lagos, on the way to the Tostón lighthouse, stay calm enough for an easy swim. There are a few restaurants and practically no nightlife. The wind blows hard from spring to late summer, and you will want a car, since Fuerteventura Airport is about 30 km off and Corralejo is a drive away.
