Puerto del Rosario
The main town of Fuerteventura, Puerto del Rosario on the
western side of the island was once called Puerto de Cabras (goat
harbour), and even today it is said that goats outnumber people in
this whitewashed town. Only recently capitalising on the tourist
trade, the streets in charming Puerto del Rosario have been
resurfaced and the harbour promenade rebuilt. The main street
provides some good souvenir shops and the old harbour area features
some attractive examples of Canarian architecture. The home of
exiled poet Miguel de Unamuno, which has been turned into a museum,
is situated in the harbour area.
