Sotavento beach is considered one of the 25 best beaches in Europe 2022 by TripAdvisor‘s Traveller’s Choice awards.
A fairytale setting on a paradisical far-away planet is the first thing that comes to our mind when we set foot on the glorious and 9-kilometer magnificent stretch of the Sotavento Beach. Located between Morro Jable and Costa Calma, the Sotavento Beach is ninth place in the Trip Advisor Traveller´s Choice Best Beaches of the World in 2022.
Sotavento is a spectacle for the traveler, with its great scenic beauty that can observe from the Salmo viewpoint. Covered with golden sand, crystalline green waters of shallow depth, giant dunes, and not forgetting that a lagoon forms with the tide. It is also very popular with kitesurfers and windsurfers from worldwide. Due to its strong winds, the World Kitesurfing and Windsurfing Championships are held here every year.
After two years of travel restrictions, 2022 is considered by many to be “the year of travel”. According to a recent Tripadvisor survey, 71% of Americans say they are likely to travel for pleasure in 2022. “As the world begins to travel again, priorities are shifting, and people want more memorable experiences while traveling. Three-quarters (75%) of Americans say it is important to ‘see new places’ when considering future travel plans,” said Steven Paganelli, director of Destinations, Hotels, and OTAs in the Americas at Tripadvisor.
Their Traveller’s Choice awards were born from the idea of connecting with travelers; they are awards chosen exclusively by people like you. People who travel try and share their experiences worldwide, according to their comments and positive or negative opinions about that destination or tourist place. It’s a list of the best sites chosen by travelers themselves.
In its 2022 list, Traveler’s Choice places four Spanish beaches among the top 25 in Europe 2022. The Spanish beaches of Muro (Mallorca), Ses Illetes (Formentera), Sotavento (Fuerteventura), and Las Canteras (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) are among the best in Europe, according to a ranking compiled by Tripadvisor users Sotavento 9th place.
In Fuerteventura, Sotavento beach, located in the municipality of Pájara, with 10 kilometres of coastline, is in 9th place in the list of the 25 best beaches in Europe 2022. It is not just a single beach, but the series of five beaches De la Barca, Risco del Paso, Mirador, Los Canarios and Mal Nombre.
The beach stands out for its idyllic setting, for all types of tourists, even non-surfers. It is a beach with an immense length in its sandy extension; its dunes reach some of them to the seashore, showing us a unique landscape. It is perfect for families with children due to its space, its lagoon, and the shallow depth of its crystalline waters. A paradise in the middle of the Atlantic.
