This week we visit Corralejo and have a walk around the town to see what things are currently like here. Corralejo seems to have responded the best to a call from the tourism minister to attract remote workers. Hotels here are offering discounts for long stays and bars are opening their doors in the daytime as co-working spaces. We also noticed that the surf schools were taking more people out over the last few weeks too. Of course, despite this short term boost to the local economy the overall number of visitors is still a long way from usual numbers at this time of the year. Other areas of the island are still extremely quiet, particularly Caleta de Fuste.
We had lunch today at La Playita on Town Beach.

[@terrysandratravelvlogs]

Brought back some great memories, especially Waikiki bar on beachfront, thanks guys 🏖😎👍

[@terryfry4556]

We love seeing your videos and look forward to returning to the island. Keep up the good work! Many thanks.

[@anonnemo2504]

Thanks for the video. Good to see the "Waikiki" beachside restaurant apparently doing a good trade. It's one of our favourite spots.

[@mikeberry8914]

Thanks for another excellent vlog, you are keeping those of stuck in UK reminded of what we are missing. We’re booked for July so everything crossed that we will be able to travel after having last years cancelled. Keep up the good work 👍

[@alvinmorris6975]

Thanks once more for another informative Vlog. Can’t wait for the irons to come out of the fire!!! Stay safe ladies.

[@cornishpasty99]

Lovely video, thanks for giving me a little canarian sun☀️

[@chrisstephens6194]

Had dinner in the first place for my birthday 2019 and the next evening in Waikiki bar .Love the videos of corralejo can't wait to return. 😀😀

[@andrealedger1097]

It does look quite busy considering! We are/were booked into Thalasso Spa in Caleta in June, however they have just contacted us to say they are not now opening until November, so they are offering us Royal Level next door. They say lack of flights to the Canaries. 👎🏼. Anyway, wherever we stay, we’ll just be grateful to come back to Fuerteventura! ❤️

[@alistairclyne9362]

Great video ladies. I absolutely love Corralejo! I remember spending a wonderful evening at La Playita on the final night of one of our holidays there. Their paella is fantastic, and they even did a veggie version for my wife and daughters. I see you were along at Waikiki ... have eaten there often too, and I remember 'A Place in The Sun' filmed there. It's so good to see the numbers of people starting to increase. Happy days! :)

[@nudgenudgewinkwink3212]

Nice to see the sea!! Again, Thanks for the video ladies and all the best.

[@sneeves19]

Hi ladies thanks for continuing to bring the at shine to us. That was a lovely little vlog of corralejo...it does seem quiet there. There doesn't seem to be the buzz that there would usually be in Corralejo. Fingers crossed things will start picking up more now. Built then you take care of each other and be safe 😎🌞😎

[@meraldes]

Hello ladies, every week looking forward to your vlogs, really nice to see Corralejo, missing Corralejo so much. la Playita is a very nice place with friendly staff. Happy to see they are open and people enjoying👍

[@AmeliaBolger]

Thanks Jeff 😀

[@shep1958]

Hopefully fly out 5th June for my wife's special birthday, staying at Arena Beach Hotel, Corralejo, for 10 nights, fingers crossed ❤️

[@shep1958]

@June Nelson usually go to Dunas Club Apartments but thought we'd go all inclusive this time, tough choice between Es Cana in Ibiza or Corralejo as our favourite destination. 😎.

[@debracraven8842]

lunch looked lovely nice to see some sunshine thanks ladies take care x

[@alanfletcher5720]

Thank you both for that Never eaten at La Playita but have use the next along Vista Lobos many times.Good to see businesses adapting but hopefully normal service will be soon resumed. Thanks again.

[@amandahimsworth7469]

Omg!😁😊😊😊😊girls. Can't believe not only was u in my favourite place . But our favourite restaurant as well . La Playita. Is Brilliant spent so many evenings there over the years. The best most friendly people you will meet . Say hello to Mohammed the owner and his boys next time your there😪. Miss it so much .

Hiya. Great video. Beautiful views. Chilled tunes. The food looked lovely. Always good vibes and very relaxing to watch. I look forward to your next video. Have a great week. Take care.

[@AmeliaBolger]

Thanks Nicky 😀

[@themightyapefish]

I saw you guys! I was sitting at Maize while you recorded the bit at 4:40 :) Thanks for the updates

[@theoldconvent]

Love the vlogs makes me miss Fuerteventura even more cant wait to get back there 🙂

[@paulpringle8263]

Hi girls. What you where saying about people going home because of the 90 day rule. I think the E.U. May have to look at that again. If the tourism economy is suffering don’t think this 90 day rule will help things improve. Thanks for sharing and stay safe

[@whosyourbrad]

Awesome video!! A friend is moving here soon, glad to see there are some people around!

[@shellykelly1656]

Another lovely vlog girls. Are they doing the carnival this year the burning of the sardine? Remember been there a few years back on Paddy's day and they had the carnival what a fantastic week that was! Happy Paddy's day for Wednesday I think I saw a green tee shirt on in the vlog?

[@sarahbolgerBolgy]

Hi Shelly, no carnivals at the moment due to social distancing but we will have a cheeky Guinness or 2 on Wednesday and raise a roast to my dad who was from Wexford 🇮🇪

[@steveolson8731]

I enjoy your work , thanks.

[@patricksmith1024]

Thank you ladies, looking forward to more vlogs 😀

[@auwz66]

If you ever go down south there is a great place called El Pellizco. They do a prawn cocktail served in half a pineapple! It sounds weird but its actually really, really good. The owners dont speak much English but I am sure that wont be an issue for you. The menus are in Spanish. Really good place and they do some really nice food.

[@sarahbolgerBolgy]

Thanks for the suggestion ❤️

[@ianashworth698]

We ate at that restaurant one night when we were there in 2011 ! We remember the locals having fish plates and we had meat one lol.

[@jkelly1701]

Brilliant can’t wait to get back ovet

[@Tonycardoza1]

Thanks brings back nice memories xx

[@daveripper]

Thank you ladies for another interesting vlog. Take care, stay safe 😎👍🏻

[@harryday9254]

Have eaten at that very table. 4 couples from our clan booked in fuentapark in July.

[@samb2945]

You're lucky to have each other 🤗

Same day i was at caleta on beach and corralejio - toro bravo - for dinner.

[@louiselinfoot4353]

Hi great vlog me n hubbies favorite restaurant, there paella was spot on keep safe xx

[@colinratford416]

Keep up the good work girls! Many thanks for the posting

[@999carpet]

Been 3 times , love it there.

[@harrynewbrook5103]

Hi Girls good to see you out and about with a smile on your face,s,im feeling sorry for Coleta and a lot of this is down to the UK goverment and it,s handling of the lockdowns also i see a problem with the new restrictions on buying property and the lenth of time you can stay on the island.I think a lot of british people will think twice on buying or keeping thiere property on the Island,also will people like the changes that are taking place,We had been looking at buying aplace aroun Coleta but looking at the new requirements and restrictions at the moment idont think its worth it.

[@widerthanone]

We’re due to be in Caleta in July from UK, but I’m afraid to get a jab. I’m definitely not getting it. Do you think they’ll allow me in? Cheers, Glenn 👍

[@AmeliaBolger]

Well the Spanish entry requirements are still centred around testing and I personally don’t see that changing any time soon. If the EU can agree a universal method of proving vaccination status (which includes the recognition of a UK certificate) then it’s possible fully vaccinated people may not need a test to enter. But will they still need one to return to the UK? Lots of questions and no answers but I’d be astonished if a vaccine was a requirement for entry.

[@widerthanone]

@@AmeliaBolger Thanks for that. Seems like common sense will prevail. Here’s hoping. We’re at Barcelo Castillo Beach from 7th July for a week. If we see ya, we’ll give you a wave👋 😁

[@keithjames2450]

How many tickles does it take to make a squid laugh......tentacles. Haha

[@AmeliaBolger]

Ba dum tsss 🥁😀

[@lesdrinkwater490]

Another nice video. I have a question. Is there a covid vaccination programme in Spain/ Fuerteventura?

[@sarahbolgerBolgy]

Yes there is

[@eprzepiora]

Lovely Girls, lovely day and scenery

[@craighelsby4783]

good video

[@wojtburk]

Hi, what is the weather like in late march in Corralejo? Planning to go there this year and wondering if there is worm enough for sunbathing on the beach,and what's the temperature in the evenings? regards 🙌

[@christinadowling688]

La playita is way nicer than the one you were going to try.

[@skillt2952]

Love you guys.

[@sandrapemberton7639]

Lovey ladies xx

[@graemewilliamson9822]

Really sad, our flights for late July were cancelled from Scotland this week ☹️

[@sarahbolgerBolgy]

That’s a shame. Hope you get to come back soon ❤️

[@davidwatts968]

Nice views. Such a shame about places closing early as in most places in España. My fear is that many tourists won’t come if there are restrictions still in place. Funny enough we have had a lot of Swedish and Belgians in Torrevieja the last couple of weeks, so people are travelling, but obviously not from the UK. David Torrevieja

[@anneannemcmahon9486]

Lovely video girls. Rekindles very happy memories. Thank you

My second home ill be out there asap.

Lovely vlog girl's, I'm just waiting and hoping to get my injection soon🤞until then keep e'm coming 🍺

[@madplanet3351]

Great video. Can you make one every day please? Ha ha. Booked end of June. Fingers crossed. Hopefully we can meet up for a cuppa.

[@michaelcrainie5520]

Thank you so much girls for taking the time to do such lovely videos your efforts are greatly appreciated as I feel that you are our “Judith Chalmers Travel reps in the sun “ keeping us up to date ,and so well informed. Hope to be over to Fuertuventura at some point this year once this COVID storm settles down in the U.K. and we are all inoculated and safe to travel. All the best Mick In Cumbernauld

[@jamespowers1134]

Hi girls you are both looking very healthy. Jim.

[@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214]

Hi ladies, good to see your updates as always. What do you think about the EU only allowing brits to visit their countries for maximum 3 months in every 6 months, do you think it will deter people from trying to buy and retire? I’d like to retire to FUE or mainland Spain but under these rules it’s impossible. I’d appreciate your thoughts. Thanks 🙏

[@sarahbolgerBolgy]

For anyone wanting to retire here they would need to apply for residency anyway, as we did, then the 3 month rule doesn’t apply

[@mogman81]

Not a big fan of corralejo we’re caleta fans but nice video ladies

[@ErnestoLobera]

Hi girls, we have just bought our place in Villaverde and I wonder what solution you found for the internet in the rural area you live in. You mentioned on your QA that you found a reasonable solution. Would you mind sharing it? Thank you so much for your content !!!! xxx

[@AmeliaBolger]

We took out a sim only phone contract with Vodafone. It has unlimited data. We use it in a spare phone and tether using a hotspot to give us wifi everywhere. The shop is in Puerto del Rosario, you’ll need proof of address and residencia. €42/month but they have offers like first 3 months half price etc. If you get a good signal with Vodafone it’s a great option until fibre is available. We average 40-50Mbps download speeds, usually between 2-5Mbps up.

[@ErnestoLobera]

@@AmeliaBolger Thank you so much for the info and for the lovely videos you both make! I look forward to seeing more. xxx

[@jamescryer2289]

Hi Ladies, I’m currently in Ibiza but fancying a change for a while and I work remote, do you know the names of any of the hotels that you mentioned were doing deals trying to attract remote workers please?

[@AmeliaBolger]

Dunas Club in Corralejo have an offer for remote workers on their website. Lots of Airbnb listings offering long term stay discounts too. Other hotels in Corralejo that you could approach for a price are Bristol Sunset Beach, Surfing Colors and Buenida

[@jamescryer2289]

Amelia Bolger thank you, I really appreciate you getting back to me

[@katewild2194]

Think you could have shared one meal as there looked to be a lot on the plate.

[@AmeliaBolger]

Definitely, if you just want a light lunch. We do a lot of walking and don’t find salad particularly filling 😀

[@katewild2194]

@@AmeliaBolger I found if you get away from the front you can find a lot cheaper places to eat but with you guys being so rich I expect money does not come into the equation.lol

[@timkingscott5316]

Hi beautiful ladys thanks for the video. See you soon xx 💐

I love that little area just to the back of where you dined is a fantastic tapas bar. 🍻🥙

The weather and lower cost of living are 2 great selling points 😀

[@briansmith5429]

Where are you living and are you renting

[@AmeliaBolger]

We bought a house in one of the villages, 10 minutes from the airport and Caleta de Fuste. 30 minutes to Corralejo. Suits us perfectly

[@heinrichkrausenecker4488]

Love You Girls.

[@neilfagan1011]

Why have you got masks on?? In the open air

[@AmeliaBolger]

Good question. Been a rule here since August last year and no sign of it changing anytime soon. On an island where it’s easy to observe distancing outside it’s incredibly frustrating and will no doubt put tourists off if it continues into the summer!
