GR131: Fuerteventura (Stage 2) | More Than I Bargained For

The fourth leg of my GR131 hiking series. In this episode I discover that I might have bitten off more than I can chew as I attempt to traverse the windswept island of Fuerteventura.
In a bid to tick off another section of the 560km GR131, I returned to the Canaries in February 2024. Watch as the second largest of Spain’s Canary Islands teaches me that I definitely need to do more cardio.

Heroic! The Sinead was an unexpected and much appreciated bonus.

Great vid and brought the memories flooding back. GR131 I agree can kick you in the ass !! Good challenging trek and enjoyable, even though can be tough at times. I did it over a few more days and still felt the pain !! The section you missed to the light house, goes on for ever, following the coast up and down the shore line foot paths, then its a bus journey back to Morro Jable.... I would say my favourite sections was the one to Costa Calma, and then costa Calma to Morro Jable along the coast.

Thanks! Glad to hear I didn't miss much by skipping the lighthouse :)

Thanks for the video. I'm just planning my Fuerteventura and Lanzarote crossing. I plan to cover over 180km in five days in Fuerteventura. Only unlike you, I won't be able to change plans according to my current condition. I am comfortable and will book a hotel for each night.

Amazing! Hotels is a fine idea. Fingers crossed for good weather!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Loved every minute of it. Well… sans the buns. Would you mind doing a gear loadout at some point? Looks like you had it dialled in.

Glad you enjoyed it! Sans the buns. Good call on the gear list!

BEST one yet. We need to work on your Spanish accent. BUT (gnarf) you are clearly ready for a Broadway career x
