Puerto del Rosario is the capital of Fuerteventura. About 39,000 people live in this harbour city at the east of the island - 1/3rd of the island's population. While it is the cultural and economic center of the island, it is not too interesting for tourists.

Caleta de Fuste is a resort town in Antigua, Fuerteventura on Fuerteventura's east coast. It is a popular destination on the island for British tourists and expatriates, as well as golfers from mainland Europe due to its two courses just outside the town.
