History of Fuerteventura Kite Festival

The Corralejo Kite Festival began in 1987, inspired by the natural beauty of Corralejo's dune park. A small group of kite flyers, captivated by the ease with which their kites soared in the park's protected environment, decided to share their passion. Over time, the festival grew, attracting kite enthusiasts and spectators from around the world. Set against the stunning dunes of Fuerteventura, the event became a celebration of creativity and the connection between nature and human activity.
