Thanks for watching Graeme

[@LesWaller]

So, the moral of the story is don't wear new shoes when going for a beach walk. Love the shade of blue they use along the waterfront.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Absolutely. Although it was a trip to the dentist with a walk as an afterthought.

Hallo JP, deine Videos sind immer großartig und mildern ein bisschen meine Sehnsucht nach Fuerteventura! Ich denke ich bin einer der wenigen der deine Videos schaut und nicht aus Großbritannien kommt😉 A big compliment to you!! Greetings, JP fan from Germany

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Danke fürs Zuschauen von Sasha

[@lynnshaw2365]

Great video lovely to see a few more people around now & we should be flying over 6 weeks today if the situation doesn’t change & we cannot wait to be back there. Thank you.

[@pc6365]

Thanks for the video JP. We hope to visit your neighbour at the end of the month (Lanzarote) Can’t wait for the sunshine. Keep up the good work👍

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Our poor relation you mean 😏 Have a great time Paul.

[@se7enmax]

Thanks JP. Not so much the 39 steps as the 3 million ! I have walked your walk a few times and it made my night watching this, ( with a dram of course ). We used to enjoy some bacon and eggs on the front at a place now closed. ( 17.47 in on your video ) There was a very nice English lady who used to work there and bring our food out. I hope she has found a new place to live and work. Glad to see you again making movie's Mr Fuerteventura .

[@alistairclyne9362]

Very much echo your thoughts and remember eating at Cordon Blue ... the very nice English lady was called Tam :)

[@leebailey6779]

Has tam moved back to England or stayed there.

[@jkelly1701]

[@earlybird4709]

We really miss corralejo, and staying in the Residencial Las Dunas apartments. Hope to return next year. Thanks JP

[@stephenjones5945]

Thanks JP nice to see things are opening up

[@amandahimsworth7469]

Thanks JP . I'm a bit late with my comment. I absolutely love Corralejo so this was one of my JP favourites 😍. Still waiting to get here . Have to wait till June next year 😪. Haven't been since June 2019. We are counting the days . Stay safe and well 😄🌴

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Watching is optional not mandatory Amanda 😉 That's quite a while to wait but at least you have something to look forward to.

[@kennyblincow6494]

Thanks for posting JP. Corralejo looking more like it’s old self. Cafe Latino closure is sad, we too enjoyed sitting there watching the world go by.

[@anonnemo2504]

Glad the ferry captain remembered to shut the bow doors. Always preferred the slower (and cheaper, being a Yorkshireman) sailing with the "Armas" ferry, and greater freedom to wander an open deck, to Fred Olsen's. Good to see the "Vaca Azul" (I think) doing a good trade again. It's a very pleasant walk, with so many "watering holes", that we didn't always make it to the end. Thanks for the reminder of what it's like to do so! Good to see the "Waikiki" bar open too. We usually only got there if we started the walk at that end.

[@alistairclyne9362]

Thanks JP ... I’ve walked that route many times and relived every step. Sorry to hear that Tam’s sold ‘Cordon Blue’ but on the other hand, hopefully that’s enabled her to move on to better things in her life 🤞

[@renevanderkraan2699]

Thanks JP👍 Great to see people wear no masks😊 This Thursday I'll be arriving in Corralejo again. Really looking forward to be there. Since 2014 I've been there several times per year. My last visit was in October 2019. It's a shame that Latino Bar is closed. It was one of my favourite places. I Hope that Sunset Lounche Bar and Domingo are still opened. I'll say hi when I recignize you 😀 Cheers!🍻

[@JPinFuerteventura]

[@andrealedger1097]

Hi JP, thanks for that, really enjoyable, the place looks really good, notice the wonky steps at the end of the boardwalk leading onto the beach have been replaced by a super dooper wooden ramp! How posh! Glad to head Cordon Bleu sold….that was one of our favourite watering holes and sad when the English lady threw in the towel. We are on countdown now…..as promised, we owe you a beer 🍻! Xx

I don't know what will happen to the Cordon Blue. It is prime real estate. Thanks for watching Andrea.

[@allisonbriggs1861]

Thanks for this. I fear we will never be back. Can't do the mask wearing and too stressful for tests etc. So sad.

Everyone should return to Fuertoventura. I hope this pandemic horror will end soon and you will return. Best wishes

[@ripthegoose]

JP, what about making videos of past times you have enjoyed on the island, that have left a lasting memory on you, it would be great to revisit the locations with you and learn the story behind what it means to you, just a thought if your stuck for an idea for a video now and again.

[@billiejean7698]

Thanks JP, watching your video's gave us an idea of what to expected and where to visit . the kids loved it will return definitely (Aug 5-12 2021)

[@suelong3273]

Thankyou JP for the vlog. I am not sure whether I told you before but we waved to the grandchildren back home from the webcam on Waikiki Beach.!!

No I don''t think you did. It is relatively quite but much busier than it was.

Thank you so much for this video mate I miss this place.

[@chinnyhill]

Thanks JP. We must have missed you by minutes. We caught the 1.30pm Fast Ferry back to Playa Blanca. Good to get back to Corallejo though, we did the same walk and had lunch at Waikiki. I’d say both resorts are about 40% of what we would normally see.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

You must have been on the one I saw come in when I way half way through the walk. I think you are probably right Neil.

[@retiredpainter259]

Nice one JP thanks ,, makes us a little sad we’re not on that ferry going back to playa Blanca ,, we’ve just had a week in a lovely cottage up in Northumberland so it’s not all bad 👍👍

[@stuartwatkins457]

Fab video JP, as time goes on I'm wondering if we will ever be able to try out corralejo because it seems that the UK government doesn't want anyone travelling for a holiday with all the literature that's needed to travel. Anyway you keep the videos coming and I'll keep on wishing🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@JPinFuerteventura]

It is pretty easy for those that have had the vaccination. Obviously less so for the new second-class citizens of the world like me who have to be punished for not doing as we are told. Thanks for watching Stuart.

[@raymondmcinnes6025]

Hi JP, always look fwd to your vids on Fuertoventura. First time we went was way back in the late 80's, flying with Dan Air and holidaying in Calete De Fuste, must say, didn't like it. Anyway, long time later we gave Fuertoventura another try, and fell in love with Jandia and its fabulous beach. Been in a few hotels there, the last one being Maxorata a great hotel, don't know if you've tried it. Still to try Corralejo and would be interested in your opinion if you had a choice between Jandia and Corralejo. Please keep up the good work, we find it very informative and entertaining. Here's to things returning to normal, so's we can return to Fuertoventura. All the best to you, the wife and the dogs...

[@JPinFuerteventura]

That is much like my story Raymond. I went to Caleta in 1987 and didn't enjoy it (there wasn't much to enjoy back then) and didn't go back to Fuerte for over 10 years. Have you watched my Caleta in 1987 video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZLPnaiDdpV0qsU Although there are great beaches down south I would prefer Corralejo as it has much more life to it. Costa Calma etc are very much geared towards huge all-inclusive hotels with relatively little outside them. We struggled to find places to eat in Costa Calma in May.

[@johnstygall860]

Great to see La Factoria and Vista Lobos are open

[@JPinFuerteventura]

I think most places that haven't gone out of business have now reopened. If they are still shut it probably means that they will sadly not reopen. Thanks for watching John.

[@smaviation9171]

Nice video JP :) Have you heard about the recent heatwave that is supposed to be hitting the Canary Islands over the next few days?

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Heard about it? We have been suffering it for the last 24 hours. Last night was a very hot, sticky night with no breeze at all. Today it is hot with a strong hot wind. Calimas are one of the few bad things here.

[@chrisstephens6194]

God I miss corralejo. I fear I will never get back again not sure if Spain requires vaccinated travellers. Great video fella hope you are well?

[@sky_diamond3164]

This is my fear too😔

[@angelrose7906]

Can't imagine having to drive the ferry backwards. I use to have a canal boat and that was difficult enough. Do you know, are dogs allowed to go on the boat tours there?

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Narrowboats are definitely not easy to reverse as I have found in the past. Dogs can go on the ferries but may have to remain in the cars (but I am not entirely sure).

[@elizabethbrownlie5052]

Are holidaymakers allowed bk in fuertaventura and what level are u on red amber or green Xx

[@mylescarthy2468]

Hello Elizabeth, Spain and Fuerteventura are Amber. If you are fully vaccinated you need proof of this via the NHS ap, A LETTER FROM YOUR DOCTOR OR THE CREDIT CARD THING YOU WERE GIVEN WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. You need proof of a test that you will take 3 days before you fly back, this must be a government approved test, tui offer this when you book cost of £20 each test. You also need proof of a test that you will need to take on day 2 when you return, also government approved cost from £60-80 per person. You need travel locator forms both into Spain and back to UK. This process isn't too hard to sort. Not too sure on rules from other countries but from what others are saying the rules are much more relaxed and cheaper. I'm flying back tomorrow. Hope this helps.

[@elizabethbrownlie5052]

Thank you myles we would be flying from edinburgh in scotland x have a safe flight home xx

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Thanks Myles. And if you haven't had the vaccine you can still come - you just need a test to get in. But ridiculously you need to quarantine when you get back.

I walked past after finishing this video but didn't notice. I just checked their Facebook page but there have been no posts since 2013! No help there then.

[@iankwhite]

JP I would welcome a complete update regarding whether you are an island on level 1 2 etc and in terms of tourism what the current influx numbers are like and of course including blighty and this is across the island as a whole and finally by the same token across the island what's in reality open without constraints and what's not please. And that's if you're up for that challenge. You indicated previous you didn't know whether it was worthwhile continuing so my request is not a burden to you hopefully but more my assumption that you've changed your mind on the way forward. My challenge to you is to create scope positivity but with balance rather than optimism as clearly I'm aware of the virus levels in Spain Gran canaria and Tenerife for example! After 32 year's of visit a well balanced and broad update would be welcome as opposed to the media I've seen recently. As usual take care for both of you and regards Ian.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Thanks for the suggestion Ian. While a video like that may be useful the day it is published, things change so quickly. I could post a video today and then tomorrow everything changes so the video is wrong. You cannot update a video, only removed it. That is why I keep my website up to date as I can change that daily. I don't want to give people incorrect information. Visit page here - www.jpinfuerteventura.com/categories/travel-fuerteventura-life/fuerteventura-coronavirus-situation/ The current situation is that Fuerteventura is on level 3 (ridiculous but there you go) but as the numbers are dropping quite quickly this may go down too. Not that it makes much difference frankly.

[@iankwhite]

@@JPinFuerteventura JP That's understandable The points I made are relevant to tourism from the UK arriving back to the island frankly. If UK arriving expect everything to be singing or dancing open blah then that's misleading and so is the current level 4 wherever you're heading etc that's the first point and secondly f the English for example are not coming in droves then the COVID-19 issues are across the EU for the island to say it's on level 3 or 4?? Yeah??. Mass advertising campaign may exist but the truth is and the question is would a Brit get value when they assume everything is open when frankly it's not and even if it is numbers are low thus the restaurant experience is pretty isolation and so on! Apart from EU under the Schengen agreement turning up and with covid!
