Capital of windswept Fuerteventura
Puerto del Rosario is the capital and main port of the Canary island of Fuerteventura, served by Fuerteventura Airport just to the south. The island is known for long beaches and steady trade winds.
The town was long known as Puerto de Cabras ('goats' port') before being renamed in 1956. The writer Miguel de Unamuno was exiled to the island in the 1920s and wrote about its stark landscape.
