    The further south you go the more Germans you get.

    We stay in Caleta de Fuste and anything south of there is German territory.

    Ironically, and all the years I've been going there, I've always wanted to visit "Villa Winter" in a remote village in the south called Cofete.

    There is huge rumour and myth that this place was a bolt hole for Hitler and his generals following defeat in WW2.
    Having seen pictures of the villa and its surgical interior you can understand the myth that Hitler was to be brought there to have plastic surgery to change his identity.

    Fascinating stuff but probably a load of Bobhollux (there's a blast from the past!)

    Cofete good for exploring. Caleta de Fuste great as just 10 mins from airport. When I first went there to contract the first U.K. Tour Operator on to the island - Caleta was just a small resort with villas and there was nothing on the hillside. Fuerteventura in 1985 was a desert island with a tiny airport and there was just our one weekly flight from Orion Airways and baggage came out on a tractor and left on an outside wall for customers to claim. Those were the days.....
