Playa Barca Holiday
Playa Barca is situated in the southeast of Fuerteventura, where the atmosphere is relaxed, and the pace of life slow. Its quiet location is the place to come for sun, sea and sand with a delicious stretch of beach proving the ultimate jewel in its glittering crown.
Beaches
Soft, sandy beaches stretch along this part of the coast for an incredible 32km and Playa Barca lays claim to its own superb swathe of golden powder and undulating dunes. The coastal breezes and strong currents make this area a brilliant choice for windsurfers, and the atmosphere rises in August when Playa Barca hosts the annual world windsurfing championships.
Shopping
Neighbouring Costa Calma has several shopping centres boasting everything from upmarket clothes boutiques to souvenir stalls. If you're looking for beach paraphernalia, including fashionable surf wear, you're sure to find something in Costa Calma. For a more traditional reminder of your Canarian holiday, take home some hand-crafted pottery or bespoke jewellery.
Nightlife
The source of all nightlife in Playa Barca flows from the hotels, where music and wine cascade into the early hours. Alternatively why not sample nearby Jandia which offers a little more gentle entertainment, great food and fine wine.
Local Specialities
Places to eat in Playa Barca vary between cosmopolitan international restaurants and tiny traditional tapas bars. If you visit the latter, you'll be treated to a sumptuous selection of dishes including 'carne con papas' - a rich stew, 'potage' - a thick soup and 'boquerones' - small white fish.
