How to get there :

Fuerteventura Airport  (closest city: Puerto del Rosario)

Flights from major European cities available. Best connections are almost every day direct flights on  cheap charter airfares.  Airfares approx. 200-350 Euros per return ticket. Contact airline direct i.e. Condor, LTU, Hapag Lloyd, or ask your travel agency. 
Flights through Madrid (one to two direct flight per day, general Fuerte-airport-information-phone: +34-928-860-702) are based on normal airfares since there are no charter flights from Madrid to FUE and the fares are usually more expensive. Good offers are available at:

or

There will be an airport shuttle bus for riders staying at Hotel Sol Elite Gorriones. The shuttle bus will be on July 29 at aproximately 6:00 PM.
Airport to Site: After leaving the airport-area you reach a round-about, there you start heading to the south indicated by village-names like Gran Tarajal and Moro Jable for about 65-70 km, see red-colored roads in the map.
When you reach the village Costa Calma you will find a first large round-about, just pass it straight through, comming to a second large round-about after about 1 km, pass this also straight through, leaving Costa Calma and heading further to the south. After about 3-4 km you will find on your left hand side a road heading towards the sea-front, there you have to drive first to the right into a small-half-round-about, leading into the road to the sea-front by crossing the main-road. This road brings you directly to the Hotel Sol Gorriones with a large parking-area in front of the main-entrance. To come to the World Cup-tent, where you can store your equipment, just keep left passing by along the hotel-building, reaching a dirt-road on your left hand side which will bring you directly to the spot.
