What's on in Puerto del Rosario

Puerto del Rosario is Fuerteventura's capital and main port, a plain, workaday town on the island's east coast that most visitors pass through rather than stay in — but it's the real Fuerteventura, with the harbour, the open-air sculptures dotted through its streets and everyday island life going on away from the resorts.

Its cultural calendar punches above its weight: A Contracultura festival brings alternative live music, closing in 2026 with a Melón Diesel concert, while the long-running Sol y Luna beach-sports spectacular, now in its 21st edition, fills the shore with action. Here's what's on while you're here.
