By now, however, the "old" town Morro Jable together with the new town "Jandía", characterised by hotels, are called "Jandía". In fact, the complete southern peninsula of Fuerteventura is called "Jandía". The mountain range keeps off the cold winds and clouds and turns Jandía/Morro Jable into the region with the warmest and sunniest temperatures of the entire island. You can also climb this mountain and enjoy a breath-taking view of the long west coast Cofete beach. They belong to the municipality of Pajara and are situated on the southern part of the island, at the foot of a mountain range with the island's highest mountain "Pico de la Zarza" (807 m high). Jandía and Morro Jable belong, as mentioned above, to the largest tourist towns on Fuerteventura. Since Jandía seamlessly passes into Morro Jable both towns together are just called "Jandía" in travel guides or magazines. A vast, light-coloured beach with fine sand (behind which there are protected salt meadows) is the main attraction. Traditional restaurants and many shopping facilities are particularly to be found in Morro Jable. Jandía/Morro Jable is especially popular with German tourists. But you will also encounter guests from France and the Netherlands. Morro Jable (= the original fishing village) and Jandía (= the "new" town) belong to the the largest tourist centres on Fuerteventura.
