Fuerteventura and the Nazis

The Canary Island of Fuerteventura is usually associated with beautiful beaches, breath-taking scenery and plenty of wind to indulge in some of those energetic water sports. The island is also particularly popular with German and British tourists, but very little is known or discussed about the darker side of Fuerteventura’s history, involving Nazi Germany. This is the story of Villa Winter, and during my recent visit to the island, I had the opportunity to meet with and discuss aspects of the story with several local people who know the property and history well. © Barrie Mahoney 2016 This article is part of the book 'Footprints in the Sand' by Barrie Mahoney.  To find out more about Barrie, his blogs, podcasts and books, go to: http://barriemahoney.com/ [http://barriemahoney.com/]
