In this section I will try to give an idea of what life in Fuerteventura is like. What happens, what there is to see and what I like and, perhaps, what I don’t like about living in Fuerteventura.
A number of people have asked about our dogs – whether we bought them with us from the UK or got them here. So thought I would briefly talk about having a dog in Fuerteventura and give the legal requirements for having dogs in Fuerteventura. I did post about how we got the dogs here…
