Corralejo beach on Fuerteventura island is not a desert strictly speaking (it's beach as the name implies). However, as it is just about 100 km away from the shores of Africa it was possible for the wind to "pick" some of the sand from Sahara desert and drop it on Fuerteventura. As the winds are generally the same as on Sahara desert, Corralejo beach really reminds a desert with its beautiful sand and high dunes. It is why it is now a national park.
