Hi JP love watching your videos. Please could you do one on where to buy fresh produce from at markets in the back iTunes where you live or near Cotillo - I feel sure there must be some somewhere - many thanks Juli and Ian x

[@juliaschofield5669]

No idea where iTunes came from! My mobile phone has a mind of its own. Fresh veg and fruit markets etc many thanks

[@JPinFuerteventura]

The only one I am aware of that has local produce is the Casa de los Coroneles market in La Oliva. A video is unlikely as they always take place in the morning - too early for me! 😉

[@moody_blue682]

I have been holidaying in Gran Canaria since 20th September (our first holiday abroad in what has been two very long years) and if I had not seen the news about the La Palma volcanic eruption before my flight here, I don't think I would even have known that there had been an eruption. Gran Canaria is 150 miles from La Palma and as with Fuerteventura, the eruption does not appear to have had any effect on Gran Canaria that I can detect. The same cannot be said for the unfortunate La Palma residents of course.

[@andynightingale7335]

Heading to Corralejo in early April, hoping to have a peek at El Cotillo as it looks so good in your vids!

Definitely take a look at Cotillo Andy

Love the videos jp. Would you recommend any particular cafe in la oliva for a coffee as we were going to stop there this Saturday for a little while

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Well you only have a choice of one now sadly Alan. So therefore I have to recommend the Aboccaperta which is just down the road to the left hand side of the Ayuntiamento (town hall) which you will see across the church square.

Thanks Stuart. The numbers are dropping again. I update this (almost) daily - www.jpinfuerteventura.com/categories/travel-fuerteventura-life/fuerteventura-coronavirus-situation/

[@iankwhite]

The broad issues are how many ICU beds are available if any outbreak escalates 8 ??

[@JPinFuerteventura]

@@iankwhite That hasn't changed and with so many having been vaccinated, IF the vaccine does as it is claimed, ie people not becoming seriously ill with it, then that shouldn't be an issue should it?

[@iankwhite]

@@JPinFuerteventura aim that question to the European arrivals outside of blighty my friend! The island will take in international travellers whether like it or not and thus the issues of anything coming onto the islands you personally just can't control!! Nor when they occur or they don't!! And I frankly don't mind if anybody has a vaccine or not but if anyone's spreading desease and that's in any country then it's an issue for Life!! And then the support systems and frankly fuerteventura doesn't have medical support systems you know that!!

Great garden, do you miss having/mowing the lawn?

@@JPinFuerteventura I believe it's all ways and also including TUI package holidays on the island, lots of news articles about it currently.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

@@Pete_L Sorry that should have said Do they say why (stupid phones)

[@Pete_L]

@@JPinFuerteventura "Due to the ongoing situation we've unfortunately had to cancel all flights to La Palma departing up to and including 27 October 2021. All impacted customers will be contacted directly to discuss their options. "We'd like to reassure customers due to travel to any other Canary Islands that our flights are currently operating as planned however we will continue to monitor the situation and contact them should their holiday be impacted. "We'd like to thank our customers for their patience and understanding during this time." Also the articles have been saying to the Canary Islands for some reason but seems to be La Palma only for now.

[@JPinFuerteventura]

@@Pete_L I replied on my phone and it had cut your comment off at "TUI have cancelled all flights" so I didn't see the La Palma bit and assumed it was flights to Fuerteventura. That's why I questioned it.

So jealous of the lovely hot sun ☀️ there!!

[@JPinFuerteventura]

[@iankwhite]

Hi JP, The update useful, however let's point out islanders were told 3 days before the eruption that there would be no eruption so that was misinformed based on scientific judgement, secondly the island had experienced over a 1000 tremor's up to 3 days before. The FCO in England issued a warning. Judgement to travel by them was refer to a tour operator. There have been tremor's off the coast of fuerteventura which you do know about. And they are a lot closer! And as always the islands are aware that a major eruption could and I only say could cause a undercurrent of water ie a tsuarmi. These are facts. And are within the scope of the islands...are they not?? Sea defences on the island are low as the coastal areas are in places sloped. And of course everyone sadly years ago lost lives with the tsuarmi from Japan Thailand etc with natural occurances. My remarks are a mere balance of your's when we both know that we are not qualified to state on nature and predict when things may or not occur... Thousands lost lives...and of course finally those that dismissed the issues of COVID and deaths were sadly wrong! And of course folk were told to evacuate the islands and repatriate back to blighty when the Madrid authority shut down the Canaries and I was one of them and the anxiety and eventually 8 months later achievement of the travel insurance claim and associated activity to get it!!! So on balance be wise to expert opinions!!

Question. I’m going to a hotel near playa de Jandia at the end of Januari. The beach and sea looked so beautiful. I’m a person who loves waves 🌊 . Is the sea a bit wavey at the south of fuertaventura? And the weather? 😄 would love to mail with you or something or WhatsApp. Or just here on KZbin what you prefere 👍

[@JPinFuerteventura]

The sea on the east coast is generally quite calm. You will find bigger waves elsewhere in the south (Cofete and La Pared for example). You can find my email in the About section or message via my JP in Fuerteventura Facebook page.
