Neither Fuerteventura was a supply base for German submarines in the Second World War nor did the Winter house in Cofete, on the west coast of the Majorera island, serve as a rest area for its officers. Everything has been legend and popular imagery. The coming to light of documents referring to the activities of U-type ships in the Atlantic demonstrates this: only six submarines were supplied in the Canary Islands by a German merchant ship and they did so in the Port of La Luz. Of course, in the early hours of the morning and with great discretion.
"The German documentation now known shows that the presence of submarines in Fuerteventura was just a legend" Diego Talavera - Sunday, January 13, 2002 - LA PROVINCIA - Diario de Las Palmas
