    This week we visit Corralejo and have a walk around the town to see what things are currently like here. Corralejo seems to have responded the best to a call from the tourism minister to attract remote workers. Hotels here are offering discounts for long stays and bars are opening their doors in the daytime as co-working spaces. We also noticed that the surf schools were taking more people out over the last few weeks too. Of course, despite this short term boost to the local economy the overall number of visitors is still a long way from usual numbers at this time of the year. Other areas of the island are still extremely quiet, particularly Caleta de Fuste.
    We had lunch today at La Playita on Town Beach.

    Great video ladies. I absolutely love Corralejo! I remember spending a wonderful evening at La Playita on the final night of one of our holidays there. Their paella is fantastic, and they even did a veggie version for my wife and daughters. I see you were along at Waikiki ... have eaten there often too, and I remember 'A Place in The Sun' filmed there. It's so good to see the numbers of people starting to increase. Happy days! :)

    If you ever go down south there is a great place called El Pellizco. They do a prawn cocktail served in half a pineapple! It sounds weird but its actually really, really good.

    • @AmeliaBolger
      @AmeliaBolger  Před 3 lety +1

      Well the Spanish entry requirements are still centred around testing and I personally don’t see that changing any time soon. If the EU can agree a universal method of proving vaccination status (which includes the recognition of a UK certificate) then it’s possible fully vaccinated people may not need a test to enter. But will they still need one to return to the UK? Lots of questions and no answers but I’d be astonished if a vaccine was a requirement for entry.

      We took out a sim only phone contract with Vodafone. It has unlimited data. We use it in a spare phone and tether using a hotspot to give us wifi everywhere. The shop is in Puerto del Rosario, you’ll need proof of address and residencia. €42/month but they have offers like first 3 months half price etc. If you get a good signal with Vodafone it’s a great option until fibre is available. We average 40-50Mbps download speeds, usually between 2-5Mbps up.

      Good question. Been a rule here since August last year and no sign of it changing anytime soon. On an island where it’s easy to observe distancing outside it’s incredibly frustrating and will no doubt put tourists off if it continues into the summer!
