Local farmers produce special sort of cottage cheese of goat’s milk, which is set above rubies by gourmets from foreign countries. While walking travelers will certainly notice that an unusual national symbol can be seen in the most unexpected places. You hardly can see a car without bumper sticker or airbrush with a picture of a goat. At first glance it may seem that there are more animals on the island than people themselves.
Another interesting character is Fuereventura’s mill; great flour is made on the island. Local residents consider a mill to be the symbol of wealth and prosperity; they treat old structures with great care, so many mills on the island are more than hundred years old. It is noteworthy that indigenous inhabitants divide mills into two types, male and female. The first type has a square base; it is easily distinguished by the angularity of appearance. Female mills have a cylindrical base and are considered more attractive in appearance.
Each year, the island hosts the International Kite Festival. The first time this unusual festival was organized in 1987. The festival is held in mid-November; it is considered to be the most original and interesting event for tourists. There are exciting competitions and raffles, activities for children and spectacular fireworks show during it. Festival is held on Corralejo Beach; for three days it turns into a party platform.
