Caleta de Fuste in January 2021 is very quiet as you probably expect at the moment. A walk around the resort takes us to the main Caleta beach, Gory's, Bahia Sol complex where there is a new international supermarket that has recently opened. We also have a look at the building work which has started on Arena Castillo Hotel. Jet2 holidays are currently accepting bookings for this hotel from June 2021 but it seems highly unlikely that it will be ready by then.

What do you think about the prospect of a new hotel in Caleta de Fuste? Would you be tempted to book Arena Castillo hotel when it's finished?

[@stevejones5080]

We like Eurostars Las Salinas so probably not.....will visit it and take a look when we are there next.

[@allisonbriggs1861]

@@stevejones5080 WE like that hotel as well.

[@grahamryall2376]

Last time I was there I stayed at the Broncemar beach which is currently being refurbished but I would definitely be tempted to stay at the Arena Castillo as long as it was reasonably priced.

[@anonnemo2504]

Sounds nicer than the "Sandcastle" hotel which, I think, may be its translation.

Sky News Reporting earlier that the Spanish Prime Minister has said that they wouldn't be welcoming International Tourists until the End of Summer which is when he expects that 70% of the Spanish population will have been vaccinated .. Not sure if Canary Islands will be Included in that though .

[@AmeliaBolger]

The tourism minister has since said late Spring/Early Summer but I think they're all guessing at this point. The islands will be desperate to get people back but the testing requirements and self isolation rules will need to be sorted out first 🤷‍♀️

I think I stayed in the previous apartments, which were on the same site as the new Arena Castillo hotel. I think the apartments were called La Luna and I stayed there in 1996, which was my first trip to Fuerteventura.

Thank you for sharing. This is one of the times of year we’d usually be out there. 😞 Missed last Jan as was Thomas Cook, was going to rebook for Easter time.... we all know what happened then.

Hi, a lovely start to the morning watching your latest vlog & seeing you both enjoying the lovely sunshine, it’s been awful here this week floods, freezing temperature this morning & posibility of snow tomorrow. From the latest news we got yesterday it was saying that summer holidays to Spain are looking unlikely as they want to vaccinate 70% of their people first, I really feel for the people over there losing their jobs & businesses. Stay safe x

[@elcapitancanarias6807]

It's very sad how the island looks like... but, by the other side, the planet is having a little rest of human contamination (even when people who arrive and live here don't respect the enviroment, but is less than before the little bug). Thanks for your videos!!

Hi again Girls, long time no see! Glad you're doing ok. Caleta's looking lovely, twice cancelled the Elba last year (gurrr) but l'm feeling optimistic as just today Cyprus announced if Brits have had both jabs they're welcome, with no strings attached. Hopefully the Canaries with follow suit. I'm hoping for a Christmas break & 🤞everything's back to normal by then. Take care x

[@AmeliaBolger]

Hey John! At some point I’m sure proof of vaccination will mean no test needed. Lots of rumours but nothing decided yet, either way I hope by the end of the year things will be much better!

Rumours say Spain have said tourists that they won’t be letting tourists in until everyone in Spain is vaccinated. At the end of the summer. Any idea on if this could be the same in Fuertaventura & do you have indications on how many have been vaccinated there already & any idea on when everyone there could be. I need my holiday this year 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@AmeliaBolger]

The tourism minister has since denied much of what was said last week. The Canary Islands relies so heavily on tourism that I suspect holidays will restart in the late Spring/early Summer but can see testing requirements staying in place. Will need to see what happens on the UK side too with self isolation on the way back, that would be a problem for most people 😕 Vaccinations started on 27th Dec and you can see the latest numbers on www.cvcanarias.com

[@carolekelsey257]

@@AmeliaBolger yes I’ve also since read that wasn’t strictly true which is good news for us & fingers crossed we get there early September. I don’t mind paying for a test to come but like you say depending on what Boris says wouldn’t be able to afford another test plus 2 weeks locked up in a hotel or home really. Also fingers crossed Spain & England will mostly all of us vaccinated by then & things may be a little easier. Thank you for your reply.

He’s wanting a good winter training holiday in 2022.....4 to 6 weeks maybe longer, I will have to accompany him of course. I bet it feels strange with so few tourists.

Fat chance now of getting to the Canaries for the foreseeable but thanks for the updates, you lucky people! Not sure how many of these Spring and early Summer bookings will translate into visits but fingers crossed. Greatly enjoyed the Q&A video, by the way.

[@AmeliaBolger]

Yes, it will be interesting to find out. The islands will be desperate to get people back but it's not that simple if countries like UK insist on self isolation on the way back. Need those travel corridors back in time for summer and access to cheaper testing 🤞
