El Cotillo is a pretty quiet town on the northwestern coast of Fuerteventura. The west coast, in particular, has the reputation of being very windy, so the village is very popular with surfers, who take advantage of the high waves on the coast. In general, the area is less touristy than other parts of the Canaries. Nonetheless, it offers all the amenities of modern tourism with great restaurants and lovely little and more modern hotels. Also, the town itself is just charming.
