Corralejo – What is it like?

Corralejo is the biggest resort in the north of Fuerteventura. It is located on the north-easy coast and is popular with tourists from the UK, Italy and others.

Unlike Caleta de Fuste and Costa Calma, it has life apart from tourism, which includes fishing and the port. This I believe is one of its attractions over many of the other resorts which are rather “false” by comparison and you could frankly be almost anywhere in the world.

Corralejo means in Spanish “The corral far away”. This is because many years ago it contained a corral (enclosure) to keep goats in that was “far away” from the capital.

The video below features a walk around Corralejo Fuerteventura. It shows the harbour area, the waterfront and the main street to give you an idea of what it is like if you are considering holidaying in Fuerteventura. It is the best of the larger resorts on Fuerteventura in my opinion, particularly if you like some nightlife.

What does Corralejo have?

There are many bars and restaurants along the Corralejo waterfront; almost all have wonderful sea views. They are ideal for sitting and watching the world go by over a coffee or something alcoholic. You can watch the ferries and boats coming and going. You also have great views of the islands of Lobos and Lanzarote in the distance.

The main street, or strip as the Americans would call it, also has many bars and restaurants, where most of the nightlife is located. There are also many of shops selling clothes, perfume, jewellery and other goods. More shops seem to get added every month lately.

Corralejo Beaches

A few of the Corralejo beaches are featured in the video – those closest to the main town. It doesn’t show the best beaches, which are Flag Beach and the beautiful Dunes beaches, which will feature in a future video.

Fuerteventura holidays are very popular, particularly in the winter when the weather is lovely here but awful in northern Europe. Mind you, when isn’t it?

Corralejo Shopping

For those that enjoy it, in recent years many good shops have opened along the main street selling fashion, perfumes, jewellery and all manor of other things so you can shop till you drop.
