Corralejo is a town and resort located on the northern tip of Fuerteventura, one of the Canary Islands, facing the small islet of Lobos (Islote de Lobos). It is in the municipality of La Oliva. It is surrounded to the north and east by the Atlantic ocean, by dunes to the south and by arid desert land to the west that leads to the western coast and El Cotillo. Once a traditional fishing village, the town has grown significantly and today is one of the two main tourist towns on the island of Fuerteventura. The town has many bars, restaurants, hotels and apartment complexes that cater to the tourists who frequent the resort year round. In keeping with the more serene nature of Fuerteventura, and in sharp contrast with the larger and better known resorts of the Canaries, Corralejo is a more relaxed tourist spot that caters to families and older travellers. Thanks to the large expat population, the town has a diverse population that varies from the local Spaniard, to the Irish, British, German and Finnish people who have settled in the resort.
