Fuerteventura Kite Festival 2016

Watch out for low flying sharks at the Fuerteventura Kite Festival 2016

This was the 29th annual Fuerteventura Kite Festival 2016 which takes place every November on the Dunes Beach near Corralejo. As usual there were hundreds of colourful and amusing kites flying above the beach and, of course, the weather was lovely, again as usual. Most of them were large 3D kites.

I wasn’t intending to go to the kite flying festival this year but it is just too colourful to miss and besides, we had a friend staying who had never seen the huge kites so that was a good excuse. Fortunately I chose to go on the last day, which was Sunday 13th November. The two previous days had been too windy to fly the larger 3D kites which are obviously the most photogenic.
