- Fuerteventura tour in 10 minutes - What is Fuerteventura like?
If you are thinking of having a holiday in Fuerteventura Canary Islands and are wondering what Fuerteventura is like this may help. Well hopefully this video will help you decide where to stay in Fuerteventura and once you are here, what to see in Fuerteventura Spain. As you will see, Fuerteventura beaches are the best beaches in the Canary Islands, even the best beaches in Europe.
We start the tour in the north of Fuerteventura and move south.
1. Corralejo Dunes - from the air and from my favourite road in Fuerteventura. Then the dunes beaches themselves.
2. Corralejo town - from the air and then the town beaches and the high street. What is Corralejo like - • Corralejo Fuerteventur...
3. Isla de Lobos - this is a small island off of Corralejo which you can travel to on a small ferry, a glass-bottomed boat or on a Catamaran trip. Full catamaran trip - • Catamaran Trip - What ...
4. El Cotillo - my personal favourite place in Fuerteventura. El Cotillo lighthouse starts it off and then after flying over the beaches we visit them and then see some of the rest of El Cotillo. What is El Cotillo like - • El Cotillo Fuerteventu... also check out my website elcotillo.net for all information about El Cotillo.
5. Betancuria - after visiting the viewing point at Mirador Morro Velosa we then head into Betancuria which was the original capital of Fuerteventura. It is a very pretty little town. A tour of Betancuria - • Betancuria, Fuertevent...
6. Caleta de Fuste - after a quick flyover you will see some of the beaches, hotels and other parts of Caleta. Caleta is very popular with British tourists. What is Caleta like - • Caleta de Fuste Fuerte...
7. Ajuy Caves - Ajuy is on the rugged west coast and is worth a visit and a walk along the cliffs to the sea caves. Caves video - • The Caves of Ajuy, Fue...
8. Costa Calma, Jandia and Morro Jable - The Jandia peninsular has many glorious beaches all along its length from Costa Calma, past Sotavento beach to Morro Jable. A walk around Morro Jable - • A walk around Morro Ja...
9. Cofete - This is probably the least visited part of Fuerteventura even though it has a very long beautiful beach. The bumpy track to get to it is probably the reason. There is a small cafe in the village and that is it - apart from Villa Winter which has a rumoured past involving senior nazis at the end of WW2. The scary road to Cofete - • The Scary Road To Cofe...
Hopefully you enjoy this Fuerteventura guide and now have a better idea of the things to do in Fuerteventura and some of the Fuerteventura attractions. You may also have a better idea of where to stay in Fuerteventura.
Remember it is Fuerteventura, not Feurteventura or Fuertaventura, and it is pronounced roughly as "Fwertaventura"

Hello JP. I can very honestly say that this is the very best Fuerteventura video that I have seen. An absolute masterpiece. What a wonderful place.
Wow, that is praise indeed. Thank you Howard.
You made a lot of people very happy with that JP including me. Thanks for your hard work and great music. I'm of to bed now for a little cry ! ha ha ! Love Fuerteventura.
I am glad you liked it. 😁 Thanks for watching.
This is so beautiful, thank you so much for sharing it.
I am glad you like it. Thanks for watching.
so many childhood memories, my family spent most of our vacations on the island when i was a kid
I am glad it prompted the memories. Thanks for watching.
Those kites were amazing.
I'm sure you must have watched the last kite video - czcams.com/video/dqxStWZgXfM/video.html
Thank you for sharing this. I've travelled on the road through the dunes many times, but hadn't realised they covered such a large area. Stunning.
It is amazing how far inland they go. Thanks for watching Alison.
Absolutely superb, John, and beautifully edited with the soundtrack!
Thanks Alan. It took 2 days to go through all of the footage I have accumulated to select which bits to include. Thanks for sharing it too.
Greatest hits =)
Thanks for watching Artem
Cofete ♥️♥️♥️ amazing place ♥️♥️♥️
It is. Thanks for watching Verca.
Grossartiges Video....vielen Dank 👍😍
Danke, dass du Bettina gesehen hast
well done Jp- smashing!
Thank you Peter. Take care.
Absolutely stunning island, my wife and I and our 2 daughters were ment to be coming over to corralejo in August 😔hopefully next summer.
Well lets hope this is all forgotten by then. Thanks for watching Jamie.
You don't have to wait for the summer. Any time is nice, especially winter.
Thanks JP. A very good video indeed. I will definately visit now to see the island. The sea caves look really special and worthy of the trip alone! I noticed that the Blues Brothers have arrived as well! A great place to live and I am sorry that you are "locked up" as we are in UK.
Lets hope it is over soon and we can plan a visit. Thanks again.
I am glad to have sold you on it. If only the tourist board would give me some commission! ;-) I hope you enjoy it John. Thanks for watching.
Nice compilation John 😎
Thank you Al
A much needed video thank you
I am glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Love it
Thanks Mechelle
Beautiful place JP! stay safe sir!
Thanks for watching Pete.
Nice video JP, stunning scenery
Cheers John. Thanks for watching.
Missing it all.Roll on our next visit and thanks for photos!gave me another weep!thinking about everything there.Stay safe JP and Due and doggies.
Hopefully you will get back out this year. Thanks for watching Susan.
Very professional filming, editing and production! Thank you, JP!!
That's very kind Jonathan. Thanks for watching.
Amazing content, well done JP! I love going north to south but through the mountainous roads in the middle of the island rather than the motorways, it's nice to see authentic villages on the way
That is definitely the best route. Thanks for watching.
Wow! Great job John! I see you master the drone by now, fantastic footage. We miss our beloved Island.
My drone would have fallen in the sea within seconds. All of the aerial shots were filmed from a helicopter on this channel - czcams.com/channels/3A7qPpW7uQnELJBM_AOEog.html
Thanks for watching.
Something to dream... Thank you, JP.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching Steve.
Thanks JP was over for new year 🎉 can't wait to come back again!! 😊
Perhaps by the new year Fuerte may be open for business again. Thanks for watching Linda.
Can’t wait to visit again in five weeks 🤗
Ah...so many familiar sights. Thank you JP. Wonder when we’ll see them again.
You are welcome Kenny. I wonder when too. Thanks for watching.
Love this island so much! Normally over 2 to 3 times a year. Thanks for great video:)
Thanks for watching it Rob
Thanks JP, we've had 2 trips cancelled to get out to our house in Caleta so far. March and nex week so your videos are making up for it (sort of).
It must be particularly hard owning a property here and be unable to use it. Thanks for watching Jake.
Very nicely done. The usual places but from a very different PoV and approach. Thank you.
Wow !! that was a great surprise superb filming John thanks, kept you busy for a while I bet Loved it Stay Safe x x
It took 2 days just to go through all the footage just to decide what bits to include Peter. Thanks for watching.
We will return, never get tired of seeing your video's or anyone else's ,stay safe .
Thanks for watching them. Cheers Neil.
Love it....
Thanks Colin
I just love watching your videos. At times they're informative and other times just relaxing. You have a great sense of humor and a keen eye for pointing out nonsense and you don't tolerate said nonsense , lol.
I have watched most if not all of your videos.
I don't know if you remember me (I'm sure you probably don't) but, I first found you when I came across your drill battery video, lol.
You're candid, honest and genuine.
Being a CZcamsr myself, I have been working on a suprise video dedicated to you. When I get around to finishing it, I'll message you on Facebook with the link 😊
Hi Atomic. Yes I do remember - you run a gaming channel I think. Really? A video dedicated to me. Now that is a new experience. Are you going to pretend to be grumpy? 😁 I will look forward to it.
@@JPinFuerteventura lol, I don't have to pretend to be grumpy 😜.
Hi again John ... you've been putting your time in lock down to very good use! Brilliant video, lovely music, and great to have all the links to other videos below the main video. Oh, how I can't wait to get back. If the airlines don't get back to 'normal' in a reasonable timescale I'll just have to buy a yacht and sail there!! Hope you and Sue continue to keep safe, and hope to meet up before too long! .... until then I'm gonna share your video on Facebook!!
Thanks Alistair. It did take a while to look through 4 years of clips. There are just 4 live cases here now but sadly we are still going to be treated the same as those in Madrid, which is ridiculous. A yacht sounds like a good idea.
Absolutley fantastic video JP. Thanks very much. Been so often but never really explored the whole island. I will next time though & will save this video. Next time my partner and I come to the island, would love to invite you for a drink or two. Love your videos.
I am glad you enjoyed it. It is worth the effort to go out and about. Drop me an email the next time you are here David.
What a great video. Appreciate the huge amount of time it must have taken to dig through all your photage to make it.
It certainly did Mark. Days in fact. Putting it together was the easy part once I decided what to include. Thanks for watching.
Great video. I am in love with the island.
It can get you like that. Thanks for watching Cristina.
Very well made video. Remember me almost all places we visited 2 years ago.
Thanks Michal. I am glad it brought back memories.
Great video! Makes me realise how much more I have to see :)
Plenty to do on your next visit then Paul.
One thing I haven't seen you mention (sorry if I missed it) is that you can now get surgical masks from farmacias on production of your health card. My farmacia lets you have two per card every week. The cost has been set by the Spanish Government as maximum 90 cents each mask. Hope this helps someone.
I did read that. I have been using my woodworking mask. Not that I have been out for almost 2 weeks now.
Well made really enjoyable.
Thanks for watching Ian.
Lanzarote and fuerteventura are my personal favourites out of all of the Canary Islands
It is amazing how different they all are considering they are so close to each other. Thanks for watching.
Stunning video JP! Was looking forward to coming over in late July. Just waiting for the email to say it's cancelled :(
Many think it will be October before they open the doors. Thanks for watching.
You started from my favourite part. The road in the dunes. Soon this lock down will be over and we will be back there. :)
Deciding where to start was one of the hardest bits. It seems not until October at the earliest. Thanks for watching Eva.
@@JPinFuerteventura pp
Thanks for the memories JP.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for vid we should be out there now so we had a 10min holiday
That's a shame Andrew. Thanks for watching.
Booked to fly out from Newcastle in November, Hope we can make it out there. Love the videos John, keep up the hard workl.
It would be nice to think this will all be over by then. Fingers crossed. Thanks for watching Daniel.
fantastic video JP thanks :)
Hello John
Thanks for the Video 👍
Is the mirador morro velosa open or closed? On the internet you can read that it should have been closed for some time.
The last time I went it was open but the cafe was closed. It closed for a few years before unfortunately. I have no idea why. It only takes one member of staff to keep it open.
@@JPinFuerteventura thanks for the information. When i am hopefully go back to fuerte in november i want to have a look. Hasn't been there for ages.
Brilliant video. I can tell a lot of time and effort went into it.
Yes. It took 2 days just to go through all of my footage to find the clips I wanted. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video JP.
Much appreciated until I can return.
Stay Safe 😎👍
I am glad you liked it David. Thanks for watching and the same to you.
Thanks JP. Nice to see the island in happier times. I hope they will soon return. Nice music.
I hope so too Les.Thanks for watching.
Thanks JP☺️
You are welcome. Thanks for watching Lidia.
Thanks for the video J.P. Must say looking forward to returning. Whenever that maybe. Stay safe
Hopefully long before the year ends Paul. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful images, I enjoyed 8 years living there in the 90s. Great to see you're flying again 😉.
It has changed since then. Thanks for watching.
Really nice, good choice of music.
Really missing your lovely Island.
Regards Simon.
Me too! It seems from tomorrow I can walk up a kilometre from my house (when it is almost dark!) so I may see a little of it. Thanks for watching.
At the beginning of October I will go on vacation to Fuerteventura for the first time, thanks for the nice video, I'm looking forward to my vacation
I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching.
Super video , looks amazing coming out in October . Look forward to hiring a bike and explore. Many thanks
I hope you have a great time Paul. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant 👏
Thanks Mark
Thanks for a great video! Fuertaventura looks very good. We will be visiting soon and spoil the senerity .
Beautiful place ..August 4th I'm there !!
Not long then Steve
Piękny film, dziękuję.
Thanks Paulina
Hi JP, Great video
Thanks Nicky
We are about to visit Fuerteventura, to run away from the cold. Thank you for this 😊
I hope you enjoy it!
I went last year it’s amazing
I absolutely love Fuerteventura. I first came across the island when I discovered the wreck of the American Star (which is no longer around) and I quickly got to appreciate the timeless beauty of this island.
Sadly I missed the American Star
And the Oscar for making me homesick goes tooooooooooo: John
When I first read that I wondered what the dog had to do with it Mike! Thanks for watching and I hope to see you again later this year.
Dear Sir! This is not just a brilliant video of Fuerteventura, but a BRILLIANT VIDEO in all aspects. First of all: the music. SUPERB! The video as we see it, the drone footage very very nice..... You made my evening today on the 19th of March, in Nottingham. The mood what you convey with the video is real art. A HUGE THANK YOU!
Wow, thank you Oliver
Still the only place for me I love the Island (not so much Caleta de Fuste) we Should have been there at the end of the month so thanks for your video JP it's for sure the only way we will see the island this year thanks for effort you have made, stay safe.
Well some are saying perhaps October but we will see. Thanks for watching.
Good film. I'm going to visit the island someday all being well.
I hope you do Steve. Perhaps next year things will be back to normal. Thanks for watching.
Booked for corralejo in November. Fingers crossed . Our favourite island in the world. Rock cafe rocks. Calete de fuste is lovely but a bit quiet for us.
You could be lucky by then. Let's hope so. I prefer the Rock Island Bar but for some reason didn't have any footage of the outside.
Very nice I would like to visit someday
Well it is a Marmite island Stuart - you either love it or hate it and nothing in between. It would be interesting to see which camp you fall into. Thanks for watching.
Sehr schöne Impressionen-super präsentiert👍👍Bin gerade selber vor Ort und sammel noch Videomaterial😊LG Angie😘
You’re best video to date thanks, the music is outstanding please let me know who it was. I’ve stayed at the Barcelo Caleta de Fuste 15 times 3 Christmas and New Years . Thanks I am going to watch this again stay healthy.PS i am number 99👍
Thanks Peter. The music, artist etc is at the bottom of the description. All from the CZcams music library. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for making the video, we have a duplex in Caleta de Fuste, we got home 3 days before they stopped flights !!!!. I wonder when we will get back????????.
That must be particularly frustrating. It would be bad enough missing a holiday but not being able to go to a second home must be really annoying. Thanks for watching Jemima.
Oh my, how i wish i was there now. Was there in January, seems a lifetime away.
You just got the trip in at the right time Lesley. Thanks for watching.
Just subscribed to your channel, lovely video....
Thank you
Needed that but would be nice if I was there!
It would be nice if I could see it too! 😉 Thanks for watching Rob.
great video
Thank you Chris.
Wonderful footage dear sir.
I've been three times to Fuerte, mid 90's (for surfing) once and twice early 00's.While i liked the island, i also found that it gave the expression "island fever" or "cabin fever" some meaning.Something about the barren landscape and emptiness...:)
You must have gone through such periods i imagine.The towns on the island are all incredibly small.
Going to Lanzarote was almost like coming to New York or so it felt!I guess you get used to it.
Cheers!
Very true. Thanks for watching.
great vid john
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
A very nice compilation and edit JP. Much welcomed viewing in these lockdown times .... 'Remember it is Fuerteventura, not Feurteventura or Fuertaventura, and it is pronounced roughly as "Fwertaventura"' - Are you listening Mr. Matthews? 😂
Wow - you read the description Kevin! You are a very rare person 😁 Yes, Shaun should take note!!!! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video JP. I would of been leaving fuerteventura today after a week's holiday. Instead I'm at home with the heating on. 😂
At least you don't have the end of holiday blues! Just a different kind of blues. Thanks for watching.
cool video
Thanks for watching Carmen
Nice, you should sell it to the Fuerteventura tourist board, aerial footage was awesome.
Must make sure we get to Cofete and Morro Jable it looks stunning, if not a little off track. Keep safe hopefully see u in October.
Would have been next Wednesday... Oh well!
Good idea in theory Nick but in the past year or so I have emailed the tourist office twice and never even received a reply. You may well be amongst the first tourists let in. Thanks for watching.
Their loss JP, it's a bit ignorant of them to not even politely say no thanks...
Thank you JP.... we actually live here.......
Yes Gail and to think it is all out there somewhere and we can't see it at the moment! Thanks for watching.
is the drone footage your own? I took my Mavic pro last time we was over there & it wouldn't let me fly it in Caleta de Fuste due to being in the flight path.. how did you manage it?
It is all shot from a helicopter and kindly available as Creative Commons by the website owner - czcams.com/users/sacanarias
Great video and great music, thanks! The titles of the tracks? 🤔
Thanks Mattia. Laid Back Guitars and As I Figure - Latinesque. Both by Kevin MacLeod on CZcams music.
Hope to be back.
Well it will be here waiting for you Mark. Thanks for watching.
18 days and I'm there.
🙋🏻🇬🇧
Loved furteventura I stayed at the Atlantis hotel I believe it was called
Was that the Atlantis in Corralejo? Thanks for watching Mike.
@@JPinFuerteventura yeah it was it's literally at the top end of the main strip in corralejo
Hi JP, we are booked to come to corralejo mid September, do you think we will be able to travel from Scotland
You may be lucky. They are talking about opening in October but that may change. Good luck.
Do you have a drone for the aerial shots? What video editing software do you use?
The aerial footage is stock video I paid for. I considered getting a drone myself but decided against it. I use Adobe Premiere Elements and am slowly moving to Davinci Resolve.
❤❤❤❤❤
JP I love your videos by the way 👍. We are currently staying in caleta de fuste is there or do you know any good vegetarian restaurants or where we can find a good variety of vegetarian foods? Thanks in advance. Mark
Hi Mark. I am afraid I don't know Caleta well enough to know if there are any vegetarian restaurants. I just did a quick search and didn't come across any purely vegetarian although many seem to have vegetarian options. Good luck with finding somewhere and have a great holiday.
@@JPinFuerteventura thanks JP, we asked around and they all pretty much said the same, could be a gap in the market for fuerteventura. We did stumble across an Italian restaurant called la bodeguita, this place is stunning all round,. Thanks again for the reply really appreciated 👍
Nice bit of pre-pandemic escapism.
Yes. 4 years of video clips to go through to make this. It took ages!
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Very nice video 👌 after all this years living in fuerteventura, did you learn Spanish ? And if yes , do you have a Spanish school to recommend?
We both had Spanish lessons, not with a school but an independent teacher who is very good. My Spanish is not so great but Sue's is good. Sadly, my brain is wired for maths, problem solving etc not for retaining thousands of words that I may never actually use. I struggled with learning Russian at school too. Just send me a message and I would be happy to put you in touch with our teacher.
What's the best way to get from airport to Corralejo?
There are a number of ways from buses (x2), taxi, expensive or a shuttle bus. You can find details in my airport guide - www.jpinfuerteventura.com/categories/travel-fuerteventura-life/fuerteventura-airport-guide/
@@JPinFuerteventura Thank you, that's a very useful web site. I've booked a flight for 7 days in April, but not yet picked a hotel or area yet. Want to have easy access to beach in the day but pubs and things in the evening. Can't wait to go
@@trancehi I hope you have a great time
hello there, is english widely spoken here? Can you get by with english on daily routine? Great video by the way
It depends where you live. In Caleta de Fuste you probably could as it is a very British resort. Just a smattering of Spanish certainly helps. For any comlicated things in Spanish, such as dealing with bureaucracy, there are people you can use to help.
@@JPinFuerteventura thank you for the reply, for those kind of help, can you direct me towards where I can learn more about that help? for dealing with gov n so
@@jackofalltrades958 If you send me a message via Facebook or an email (address in the about tag on CZcams) I will send you the details.
@@JPinFuerteventura I did, thank you
