CORRALEJO

The Billabong Surf Camp is located in the centre of Corralejo, a small town in the north of Fuerteventura. Corralejo is a lively town with a lot of nice surf bars, shops, restaurants and activities to do. Once a traditional fishing village, the town has grown significantly in the past few years but even though many new buildings have been built, Corralejo has kept a great charm. You find a good mix of modern and traditional.
