Just a simple vlog of October and November in Fuerteventura. Didn’t do much (as usual). It includes a walk around the Friday market in El Cotillo. Yet again though I had to delete the original soundtrack as they were playing music which gave me a copyright problem. I had to use some Youtube music instead.…
My wife, Sue, and I sold up in the UK before retiring to Fuerteventura in 2013. We chose to live in the north of Fuerteventura as that was the area we knew best and, obviously like. This is the full story of why, where, when and how we retired here. Why Fuerteventura? We started coming…

For anyone who is sensitive to mosquito bites asking if there are mosquitoes in Fuerteventura is a fair question if you are planning to visit the island. Well I am sorry to disappoint you but actually there are. However, don’t get too worried as although they are found here, they are not a massive problem…
