El Cotillo News and Walkabout plus a living in Fuerteventura Q&A

[@paulinalitmanowski2533]

Dziękuję bardzo za ten spacer znajomymi uliczkami Cotillo!!!

[@66gattaca]

Great idea, John, to do a Q & A session, and the lovely location subtly underlines what is so special about the island. Helen and I always sit in that same place for a cervesa when we visit el Cotillo! It's interesting to see the island economy gaining momentum, more shops opening, property going up, new developments etc... I do hope places like el Cotillo are not changed beyond recognition, though, losing that which makes them so special! Looking forward to the next edition!

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Thank you very much Alan. I hope so too. I guess if it grows too much people will still go there but a different type of person.

[@wallerdog]

Interesting Q&A at the end, nice video JP!

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Muchas gracias Señor Waller

Hi John, we should really start calling you honest John. Whatever you do your blog on is always interesting and to the point. Carry On John. Rob

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Thanks Rob. Do you think I should start selling used cars? 😉 Thanks for watching.

[@pearsemccormack6070]

Keep up the good work. Your videos are very helpful.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

I am glad you find them useful Pearse. Thanks for watching.

Another interesting vlog of where you live John, love the Q & A. Many thanks for sharing the info :)

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Thanks for watching Shaun. Have a good weekend's flying mate.

[@garymarshall1246]

Looking forward to happy plants or general garden center video. Great for people interested in landscaping or teopical plants and palms and prices

[@JPinFuerteventura]

It is likely to be a while as I have quite a few in the bag at the moment.

Hi JP, another fine video my friend .what a life you video celebrates have over there in the sunshine....Keep up the good work, looking forward as always to seeing your regular updates. Due to come over to Lanzarote on the 6th of August for a ten day break, so will hop on to the sea Cat at Play Blanca and have a drive about El COTILLO to see the resort following your most recent Blog.. All the best my friend , from Mick in Sunny Cumbernauld ..

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Thanks Michael. It is a lovely place (apart from during the fiesta towards the end of August). Have a great trip. Thanks for watching.

[@fergusmacduffthewestie919]

Sounds like your internet is a lot better than mine in Wales. Thanks for sharing lots of good information.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Well I'm not so sure. The problem here is we depend on it for everything, tv included. I paid for fibre optic to be installed last May and I am still waiting! Thanks for watching.

[@fergusmacduffthewestie919]

@@JPinFuerteventura We get just over 2 MB, no fibre optics in our area yet.

[@T.S.Photohraphy-Cinematography]

Thats a nice place to relax my friend! Thank you for your detailed explenation,

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Thank you for watching Tassos.

[@robertoripamonti7578]

Hi-thanks for the good explanations. Are there any plans to develop the area along the long beach below the Toston tower, south of the village of El Cotillo?

[@JPinFuerteventura]

I have heard rumours that they are considering putting down some type of ecological road surface but they say there will be no building development. Thanks for watching Roberto.

[@MrCorfuz]

Thanks JP, had my Fuerte fix for the week!

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Cheers for watching!

[@markar6327]

Hi, so how much cost to buy, the second hand car? Thanks.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Almost twice what they would cost in the UK as cars are more expensive here (but they do hold their value).

[@moteroloco1]

thank you very much for the subtitles this helps me a lot to improve my English,

[@JPinFuerteventura]

I haven't added any yet! Were there some there?

[@moteroloco1]

JP in Fuerteventura yes there were In this video

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Interesting. They were automatically generated and not very accurate.

[@markusmeir8419]

Hi John, how is the Situation in Costa Calma? is it fancy and expensive to buy a Bungalow or Finca there? or a bigger Appartement 75+m2. And what do you think about establishing a Massage-Businnes in Fuerte, especially in Costa Calma or Morro Jable, because i am thinking over it. Thanks for your vids.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Hi Markus. Well they aren't questions I can answer properly. I suggest you look at the property agents websites in the area. This one for example - www.idealista.com/en/geo/venta-viviendas/costa-calma-fuerteventura/ With regard to starting a massage business, to me the island seems to be overrun with massage/alternative therapy services. Having said that, many of these businesses have been around for years so they must me making money from it. Sorry, that isn't much help is it.

@@JPinFuerteventura hi JP thanks for the very informative video

[@dudeofficialchannel]

Had to see this again. Just had enough here. Really fed up with it.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

I feel your pain!

[@rebeccagray1516]

Hi JP, how easy or hard is it to get residencia?

[@paddyj7690]

The ones on the left of the ice cream parlor were Swiss. They were talking about something costing 250 quid 😆

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Were they? I don't remember - were they speaking Swiss French, Swiss German or Swiss Italian?

[@paddyj7690]

@@JPinFuerteventura Swiss German. "250 Stutz". I like your content. I'm from Switzerland but Ireland has been my home for over 11 years now, but I do like the sun so my wife and I are currently looking into retiring to the Canaries, preferrably Fuerteventura.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

@@paddyj7690 Good plan Paddy

[@maiilikai2882]

El Cotillo is really beautiful and relaxed- it doesn´t seem to be as noisy as Corralejo. I would always prefer a "village feeling" instead of a hectic city nightlife.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

It has just the right balance of peace and quiet together with enough bars and restaurants so that you don't get bored going to one every night. Thanks for watching Mai.

[@Kurage97]

would be interesting to see a interview with a squatter!

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Frankly I wouldn't give them the time of day Julia. One of my viewers owns an apartment in the capital, which he spends the winter in for health reasons. A couple of years ago, during the summer, squatters moved in and it took him 9 months to legally remove them. When he got access again everything had gone - not only his furniture and belongings but even the whole of the kitchen. Thanks for watching.

[@moteroloco1]

Could you make an entire video speaking only in Spanish?I suppose you already know enough Spanish living in Fuerteventura.thank for reading.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

It would be a very short video! Although my Spanish is improving (slowly) I couldn't do one in Spanish. Interesting idea though.
