  • Source of the Tababaire

    Finding the long, lost, source of the Tababaire

    Fuerteventura Vlog November 2015 Just to give a bit of an insight into what being retired in Fuerteventura is like I thought I would do a monthly Fuerteventura vlog. I hope it isn’t too long and boring. Perhaps I need to get out and do a bit more to make the next one more interesting.…
