The volcanic landscapes of Fuerteventura's mountainous interior are scaled from the seemingly endless coastline is this late afternoon off-road safari to Cofete. Juan Carlos, one of our local guides, says, ‘Cofete was so removed from civilisation that it spawned a wartime spy mystery – and countless novels – centred on the enigmatic Villa Winter. Was it a transmission centre for U-boats? A hideout for secret agents? A ratline staging post? A venue for hedonistic parties? The legend only grows with each passing year.'You'll first head into Fuerteventura's central mountains, where cloud-wreathed slopes plunge down to endless, deserted beaches. The most eye-catching is Cofete beach, which clocks in at almost 14km. The spray from waves creates an almost ever-present haze over the shoreline. Heading off-road onto hairpin tracks, you'll bump around the Mars-like landscapes around Pico de la Zarza, one of the island's highest volcanic peaks. Here, you'll enjoy panoramic views over the buffeted west coast before dropping down to Cofete, a ramshackle hamlet.This mostly abandoned village is home to the mysterious Villa Winter, which is rumoured to have been a Nazi hideout after World War II. Next, it's off to Punta de Jandia at Fuerteventura's southern tip. Hopefully, you can enjoy a sunset over the lighthouse and Atlantic, before a snack and glass of wine at one of the few restaurants found in this remote part of the island. You'll then wind your way back to your hotel under the starlit sky.

If you fancy a taste of the authentic Fuerteventura, then this day out is for you. Pretty villages, smugglers' caves and beautiful scenery are all on the menu, along with an aloe vera plantation. To top it off, you'll get to sample some of the island's best delicacies at a goat farm. Yurena, one of our local guides, says, ‘We're very proud of our majorero goat cheese, it's a staple in our kitchens. Learn how it's pressed with woven palm leaves and rubbed with paprika or gofio flour for flavour.'Kick off at the aloe vera plantation and learn all about its reputed health benefits. Then discover the village of Pajara, famed for its unusual church façade and its wooden balconies. Fran says, ‘The inspiration behind the parish church's Aztec-themed portico remains a mystery. Just above the door, you'll see symbols of suns, serpents, lions and doves. And if you stop and take a closer look, you'll find many more.'Plus, there's free time in Ajuy, a fishing village that meets the ocean at a black volcanic sand beach. There's a lovely, scenic walk on chalk cliffs to limestone caves where smugglers once hid their contraband. Nestled in a valley dotted with palm trees is Betancuria, the island's first capital. Here, you'll have free time to explore the cobbled streets and its church – the oldest in the Canaries. After lunch in a family-run restaurant in Valle de Santa Ines, there's a visit to a farm. Sample majorero goat cheese, jams and other local specialities. A tasty way to round off the day.
