Morro Jable is at the southern end of Fuerteventura,
just under one hours drive south of the airport. A new section of road
was opened in September 2005 and this reduced the transfer times by
about ten minutes, as the new road is both straight and level, and
replaces a narrower windier coastal road in Jandia.
Most of the tourists that visit Morro Jable are
German and this is reflected in the higher percentage of German
restaurant and bar owners. The newer part of the town has been built
along the beachfront to the east of the port. The promenade at Morro
Jable makes up the main part of the newer town and there are numerous
shops, restaurants and bars, all with views towards the sea.
The part of the old village that is separated from the port by the
headland runs up a barranco, or valley, into the hills. The newer
parts of the town have been built to connect the old village area and
the port area, and the tourist facilities have been built along the
coast to the east of the old village, in such a way that Morro Jable
now stretches for a mile or so along the coast, the newer parts having
been appended to the older parts in a pleasant way.
