For many people in Europe, the Christmas season is associated with low temperatures and snow, so for those who are looking to escape the bad weather back home, Caleta de Fuste might be the perfect getaway.
Caleta de Fuste is the place to be if you're wanting a warm and sunny Christmas, in a relaxed and chilled atmosphere, while still feeling the holiday spirit.
Usually, at this time of year, the temperatures in Fuerteventura are still in the low twenties during the daytime, so it's still warm enough to wear T-shirts and flip-flops while you stroll through town. When the sun is shining the real feel temperature will be much higher and it's usually warm enough to spend your day on the beach and getting a tan.
On Christmas day in 2022, the maximum temperature in Caleta de Fuste was 22°C and the minimum temperature was 18°C.
