Living in Fuerteventura | JP in Fuerteventura

I hope you will find plenty to interest you, particularly if you like the Canary Islands, and Fuerteventura in particular. Perhaps you are considering retiring to the sun as we have done, either here or to mainland Spain. If we can do it then so can you. It is not as hard as you might think. Most of it is just psychological - you putting obstacles in your own way.

Remember: You never regret the things you do - only the things you didn't do!

You will find videos and posts on living in Fuerteventura, retirement tips, dogs, woodworking, DIY, gardening and photography.
