The sandy and wastelands of the coastal plain of the island of Fuerteventura in Spain's Canary Islands

---

Spain, Canary Islands, Islas Canarias, Fuerteventura, town of El Cotillo. South of the town of El Cotillo there are barren lands carved from the volcanic stone of the islands that are beautiful in their desolation and isolation. They are characterized by sand, chunks of stones and hardy and brazen brush that clings to life in this usually arid zone. The backdrop is a range of volcanic mountain craters under fleeting clouds.
