Description.
The northern area of
Playa de Sotavento is known as Playa Barca and is
known for being where it is celebrated every
year the test scoring for the World Championship of
Kiteboarding and Windsurfing, besides having one of
the best located hotels in the island: Melia
Gorriones.
This beach is
devoted almost exclusively to the practice
of these sports, and the wind is strong all year,
so it's not a beach "to go in the sun" or family.
This beach is where the
most important school of Fuerteventura (Rene Egli) Wind
and Kite has one of its schools, and
it also store tables and classrooms, there is also a
hammock area with palm trees and a bar .
At the foot of
the Hotel Melia Gorriones, is an interesting
area and "atypical" beach area, a forest of palm
trees at the foot of the lake formed at high tide.
This is the most
significant lake beach for more than 80% of the
surface of the beach and is a perfect area for a
walk, just as there are 40 centimetres deep
My Opinion:
A giant beach, perfect
for walking or to see how to
practice windsurfing or kiteboarding, but
always windy.
If you go with the family, the area under
the palms Hotel, is perfect.
