Those considering investing in Canary Islands property can find it on Fuerteventura more easily than elsewhere, it has been suggested.

Andreas Caliman, an official tour guide on the island, said the island is the quietest because its tourism industry started in the 1970s, compared with the 1950s for the other islands.

"That’s why they still promote the island as ‘La Isla Tranquilita’, which means the quiet, the tranquil island," he stated.

Such features may interest those thinking of buying Canary Islands property.

Amanda Ellis, contracts manager for travel agent alpharooms.com, said the island has the "best beaches in Europe", adding that it is also just 20 minutes by boat from Lanzarote, meaning it is possible to enjoy both islands together.

Discussing the tourism picture in the Canary Islands this week, Property Abroad’s chief market analyst Liam Bailey said it is "absolutely huge" because of its developed tourist scene and year-round sunshine.
