The Winter House was built by a German man named Gustav Winter in the 1940's. Legend has it that Hermann Goring subsidized the construction during ww2. It is said that the mansion is situated above underwater caverns that stretch to the ocean, allowing submarines to reach the house directly.
Wow very interesting
And Adolf stopped off there on his way to Argentina…..
He may well have stopped there on his way to Argentina, yes.
I've read about that! Years ago!
That's mental!
Tim, your content is so brilliant, informative, well-filmed and entertaining! You work so hard to film such incredible shots and editing them for us to enjoy. We love watching your videos together in our house. You are part of the family!! Thank you 😊
that means a lot thank you
@@WalkWithMeTim Love to go to fuerteventura looks lovley love it
Hi Tim, really enjoying your videos, especially the around Canary Islands. Hoping to head there February/ March for 4 weeks, which island would you recommend?
@@everyoneagem yeah I wish I was there right now
Breathtaking sights! Cheers for taking the time to film such an amazing place, Tim. 👍
Thanks the bard
Fuerteventura our favourite island , just ticks every single box , we love it
Looks so lovely, the blue sky and lovely sea, so pretty! 💙
Love the rustic feel of the fuerteventura landscape I've visited the island many times and my favourite resort is morro jable amazing beach thanks for the video.
Thanks again Tim for another great video looked so nice and enjoyed watching look forward to the next Yvonne
The car hire insurance in Fuerteventura only covers you on roads that are tarmaced. If you are in an accident or breakdown on a non tarmaced road they charge you a fortune. There’s another CZcamsr who holidays there who this happened to when his car was leaking oil and broke down. He wasn’t anywhere way out like Cofete, he was just on a road outside town where they were building apartments and had not yet tarmaced the road. Lots of people take the chance with hire cars anyway, or maybe they just don’t know. Years ago we used to go to Fuerteventura a lot. Wrangler jeeps were for hire everywhere and we used to hire one to drive off road as did lots of tourists. What I didn’t know is that you were not supposed to go on non tarmaced roads even in those. You never see them for hire now. I did enquire can you pay extra for insurance to drive to cofete and Villa Winter but no it doesn’t seem to be possible. We took a jeep tour but it wasn’t very good and we got 20 minutes there. When we went in 2000 we walked for hours along that beach and it seemed endless.
Thank you for this video.
thanks for the info!
Absolutely second this. The amount of hire cars you see "off road" is unbelievable, especially on the volcano road outside Corralejo.
Check your tires when picking up your hire car, I had one that had big chunks out the tread, likely caused by someone driving on a dirt road.
Yea it was the same when we hired a car in crete
We leave from SBH Costa Calma tomorrow, bloody brilliant and the food was amazing (all inclusive)
.
Wow! The beaches are beautiful and I love the sound of the Atlantic waves! Thanks for the tour, Tim.
You are welcome
Looks absolutely gorgeous and those beaches are stunning. ❤️
What a fascinating and incredible location. Thanks for taking us with you.
Thanks barry
Wow that sums it up. Thanks Tim for showing us
Thanks Tim. We were there July n September. Our 29 visit. Back February and July 2023. Managed to get the golden ticket 🎟 the irish passport 😀. Will be stopping longer and eventually permanently. We take mountain bikes with us. Done all the north of the island on bikes including the volcanoes 🌋. Took bikes to Lobos and rode that to tick it off. Never tired of fuerteventura.
That is awesome!
That was absolutely brilliant! I’m very new to your channel and I’m loving working my way through all your videos. I’ve only really watched your hotel stays in the UK so far, but this video was epic! I love travel but haven’t been abroad since pre Covid. Thank you for bringing us along with you and going on all those wonderful adventures. I’m so glad I subscribed and can’t wait for more. Thank you and Happy New Year! 🎉
wow thank you! hope u enjoy what's coming up :-)
Complete paradise it is stunning.
Agree shane
Wow that was awesome. Beautiful scenery and dramatic landscape. Brilliant video 😊
thanks Sean
Hello Tim what a awesome place this is,the water is so clear,the popcorn beach looks so nice to see,the weather is perfect to go in a car and see the views.
Hi Tim! Wow I loved this looks beautiful. Never been there I'd love to visit so nice . Thanks for a great vlog looking forward to seeing the next few. Thanks for sharing with us love to you as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
One of my favourite destinations, Fuertuventura. I went for my birthday last year, it was truly amazing. Thanks for the tour Tim!
Hopefully, looking to book again for Easter.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love it! ❤ Thanks for taking us with you! 😊 A little bit of holiday-feeling at home!
You are so welcome!
Thank you Tim. This will help for our next tour. Keep doing your great work.
thank you!
Thanks for your Fuerteventura video Tim.That Road looked scary,hope you got back okay.Looks like you had good weather.
Thank you for your tour we are going out there soon, for some winter sunshine
Amazing holiday vlog and so cheap, flights, car hire, accommodation. Wow I might even be tempted myself to try this sometime. Hate the cold dark early nights here so to get a taste of summer over there is tempting. Loved those beaches too 😉👍
Yes David agree it was like going bck to summer .. I left yesterday it was 29oc in Lanzarote
Again Tim outstanding vlog. Really informative, interesting and entertaining. You show it how it is, as with as with all your vlogs, a really balanced view. Thank You
Thanks Clive
Looks beautiful in October. I visited Caleta de Fuste several times, nice to see different areas
Thanks again Tim, out here now, that drive to Cofete was interesting, thanks for the tips, great island.
Loved this video Tim, looks an amazing place,all those beaches and the popcorn beach were fantastic my friends just come back from fuertaventura,they loved it,im sending this for her to watch. Thanks for taking us with you. Take care 😎
Thanks Hazel
Great video, Tim. I’ve always been curious about Fuerteventura.
I’ve been watching your videos for quite awhile now, and it’s great that I’m still finding new ones that you did a while ago but I haven’t seen them yet 😃
Awesome, thank you!
Another great video, love travellling with you on your trips
Tha ls Elaine
Thank you for the overview of the island. It was interesting to find out about the Casa Winter 👀
Wow what a beautiful place & thanks Tim 😎🤗
Thanks Tim, looks a lovely Island and you've given me some good ideas on what to see, Thank you! 👍
My pleasure!
Absolutely beautiful thankyou for such a lovely out😘😘😁😁
Just revisited this video because we are planning on going here next year😊
We'll be there next month,cant wait 😊
Hey Tim another amazing video as always, However I have some constructive feedback for you, I noticed a lot of pops on your audio between cuts, I suggest to get rid of them to add a quick cross fade half a second each side in your editing software and it will be gone completely, I think your content is amazing already and wish to see you achieve the best videos you can as the channel gets bigger, so I hope this comment is helpful if applied to future videos 👍
Thanks yes I noticed that on the video will definitely sort
Some of the best videos on youtube,keep them coming
that's kind to say thank you
Beautiful place, plenty of amazing vista's ☺️
The popcorn beach is my favorite place, free lunch as well!
Lol
Another great video Tim. Thanks👍
Glad you enjoyed it
That was absolutely great Tim !!!
😉
Thank you! We got back from Fuerteventura just a month ago, we've been to Caleta de Fuste. Can't wait to see your other videos 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
You should definitely visit Fuerteventura for the Popcorn Beach I say!
And that rocky terrain!
Your a steady cool driver Tim, driving over those Rocky Roads.
The Winter House was almost like a Museum would be interesting to find out the history of its involvement with the Wars & why it was built originally.
Those relaxing white sand beaches looked so tranquil just the place to have a Pina Colada!
You certainly did have a good drive around that day!
Great memories for you to keep & great memories sharing with us.
Looking forward to your vlog coming up on Sunday!
Well didn't want ro mention to much in the video but has some German ties
@@WalkWithMeTim you did the right thing Tim.
It's what makes you a great presenter!
You highlight enough about the History & then make people involved & interested.
Then if they want to find out more they can look on Google.
I don't think I want to look to deeply into Hilters House as I'm sure it's History is very grim but I might just have a brief look into when it was first built.
I'm going to look into the History of the Worst Rated Hotels in depth though.
I'm fascinated by each & everyone of them!
Thanks for all you are doing Tim your vlogs are brilliant!
Can't wait to see you again on Sunday.
Enjoy your weekend Tim.
I love 'Fuerte' although not been for years, it's perfect for an 'au naturel' beach break.
Your vid brought back some good memories. :)
That road was sketchy 😮 very impressed by the beech. Another brilliant video thanks for sharing 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks best Fuerteventura video I have watched. I can really get a feel for the place.
Wow, thank you!
Nice tim , a proper look around , i enjoy the armchair travel with you 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Love your videos. I want to go now! 🏊♂️ 🏖🌞
Looks amazing ☀️🏖️✈️
Hi Tim that was an excellent video and Fuerteventura does look amazing. i will need to visit it myself one day. Thank you so much for making this video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Loving the scenery the beach looks amazing. What a nice place , hope you had a great time .
I did! so beautiful
Fantastic video Tim !! Fuerteventura is the last main Canary Island that I need to visit. You’ve got me sold ! Can’t wait to visit. Greetings from Smithtown,New York. Gary
hey Gary! thats a bit of a journey
Yes it is but the Canaries have always been worth it over the years !! Keep up the great work 😊!
I haven't been there since early 2000's brings back memories.
Great tour, Tim and some brave driving at the start! The water looks lovely - how warm was it to swim?
Great video Tim and well shot 👏
thanks mark
Looking forward to this Tim, I keep getting Fuerteventura & Lanazote mixed up!
The walk you did on Wednesday was Lanazote.
So I know what that was like, it will be interesting to compare with Fortaventura!
I remember you saying they weren't very far away from each other in the Canary Islands.
I'm learning more Geography from you than I ever did at school.😂
Travel really teaches you everything!
Your a top class Teacher Tim!
HA ha brilliant bex tbh I never listened in geography I wish I had lol
@@WalkWithMeTim Yes I was just the same Tim!
The only thing I can remember was where the Poles were & the Equator in Geography lessons!
Fortaventura was amazing & different with the Rocky Terrain & the Popcorn Beach
And that Winter house was atmospheric!
Then lovley sandy beaches & cafes!
I really wish I was there! It would be an unforgettable experience ☺️
Road looks brilliant for rallying mate
It is such beautiful place, I went there month before all lockdown. I stayed at CLC world resort
Why you should visit Tenerife👉czcams.com/video/xsC7HCpeE38/video.html
Why you should visit Lanzarote 👉 czcams.com/video/BGa7ViBfhIg/video.html
The lorry’s looking fantastic already. 👍
Thanks for the tour never been looks a .loverly place and your apartment good size 👌 weather nice sunshine 🌞
Thanks for your vid on Fuerterventura,so nice of you to show this,it looks lovely.Did your flight coming back go ok?
yep thanks Brian
Well Tim I would just like to say that has to be your best video yet, wonderful filming, I have been to fuetevetura but you have showed me places I didn't even know existed we'll done sir. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
thanks, Ian means alot
Thanks Tim throughly enjoyed this video
Thanks Tracy
We have spent many Christmas’s in fuerteventura. Last one being in Morro jable. The rest were in caleta de fuste. Rest of the year we are regular visitors to Lanzarote
First time i went to Correlejo a few years ago i stopped at the Correlejo beach hotel. There was a fantastic ice cream shop a five minute walk from the hotel.Couple of mins up that road was a baker's shop that did fantastic cakes. The entertainment in that square is in an evening.Did a bit of sunbathing in the dunes one day. The next time i went i stopped at one of those hotels on the beach. Very handy for the dunes 😁 and a bus ride away town. Only thing i don't like is the wind. Had a day trip from the harbour to lobos island and that was really good. Not a lot there mind you
Totally agree about the phone signal. I was there in December 22 for Christmas and had perfect signal and 5G the whole time. Got back to London and only had 3G coverage in some places 😂
I know crazy
Fab video Tim. We went to Corralejo a few years back, agree the scenery is amazing on the island.
Where was that beach with the coconut tree and palm trees on?? The hotel there looks an amazing place to stay!
That was near Costa calmer jo jo
Just watched this whilst in Fuerteventura (in Calete De Fuste) - possibly the best way of seeing Cofete is by a 4x4 tour (though we booked the Cotillo tour instead). I always thought the J in the middle of a word is pronounced kh - i.e. Corrale-kh-o. Just went onto Lobos today - it's a fascinating place - and we went onto the sand dunes when they were fresh from the evening wind so our footprints were the first of the day! It's so windy here though....
You got the "Morro" part right but the other word is pronounced "Hablay". We're looking forward to going there in December. Great video again; many thanks!
Costa Calma for us. Love Fuerteventura. Lots of kite surfers and windsurfers each afternoon.
The best!
Thanks for the imfo , I’ll be there next July
Thank you so much for doing this, as I am going there in 3 weeks
enjoy! I love this island
Been to Correlejo about 8 times in the late 90s/early 2000s
Last went around 2007 but then I discovered Corfu!!
I bet its changed now
Nice one. Wish I was there !
Brought back memories for me as I lived there 22 years ago, had a bar on the beach, worst mistake I ever made moving back home
I’m going September can’t wait x
Great video! Love the Island! My second home!
If you want nice white beaches & clear water's .
you can visit the Scilly isles just off England 🏴 Cornwall ( Penzance) it is like the Caribbean when you go in the height of the summer .
Yes I want to go
We stayed in jandia, the beaches were so clean and just beautiful 😍
The best 👌
Enjoyed this video, sky and sea such a blue colour, roads not for the fainthearted,
i visited here and its my fav holiday ever I loved it
Love the videos ❤
:-)
Thanks for warning me off the Cofete beach, I'd be too freaked out on that road with the kids! 6 more days to Costa Calma, it does look lovely indeed 🙂
Have fun!
I been there I had a great time and you can see Lanzarote on the other side 😁😁
I was so buisy with my reality life so I missed tims videos 📹..love all your videos tim...I hope your baby boy is ok
In answer to your question, a great white has been tracked into the bay of biscay, I would even suggest into uk waters; so I’d say yes they’re all around. 😂
We’re off there on holiday next month for a week,really looking forward to it!!!!
you will im sure have a great time
@@WalkWithMeTim
Got back yesterday
Stayed in Costa de Antigua and had days out at Caleta,Morro Jable,Bentacuria,Puerto Rosario,El Collito and the zoo
It was fantastic 👌
Hey Tim! As someone who has never visited the Canaries. I realise Tenerife is the most famous. Seen a couple of vloggers the last couple of days in Lanzarote and Gran Canaria. This island doesn’t get as much press. So to see it through your eyes. with the sights along with some rough terrain. It’s a bit of a mixed bag I can see now. Doesn’t stop it being so beautiful an island to see though. The sea is just gorgeous. But to be in the sunshine and on the beach who can say no. Good idea to hire a car. That Citroen had a personality of its own
Take care 😘👍🏻
lo it certainly does
I fly on Friday. One more day of work and then happy days!
Have fun
i just want to say youre video is brilliant ty x
thanks Jane
Interesting tour round the island and great beaches. Could be Winterton on sea without the palm trees!
Definitely! LOL
I love Fuerteventura!
Great Video. I've tended to find that Fuerteventura tends to be the cheaper of the Canary Islands to visit also.
Absolutely top notch video as always. My only criticism is that it wasn't long enough 🤣
Keep up the brilliant work as always, sir 👍
Almost 30mins too lol
I thought it was too long.
Nice 1 Tim 👍.
Thanks 👍
Wonderful content Tim and you have a lovely natural style! Just one thing though...your Spanish pronunciation!!! Lol so bad .Morro Jable had me in stitches 🤣 😂 😭
Sorry! :-)
Great video , really enjoyed it. Did you do any video of El Cotillo?
No tbh I stayed there but didn't get around to filming lol
You will have to go again 😉
