Got family in Lanzarote, I love it! Going to Corralejo in June and have been watching your vids for ideas of things to do so thanks guys 🙏
Ahh nice one let us know how it goes!
Fuerteventura is simply fuerteventura. Naturally rustic. Naturally impressive.
👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve uploaded a Fuerteventura travel film if you want to check it out 🌴
Hi guys I was a regular at lanzarote for about 8 yrs but once I discovered fuerteventura and especially corralejo I knew that I had found what I and drone expert stuart calls paradise as it has everything hope to catch you both as usual around October December time for a beer keep well JEFF
Ahh yeah definitely! See you back again then, Jeff, look after yourself 👍🏻
Corralejo for me every time. Just returned home and can’t wait to get back. Saw harry singing in Calle Iglesia, would love to have said Hi.. but he never stopped singing and I didn’t want to interrupt.
Ahh thanks Mark 😊
Been to Lanzarote many times and tried Costa Adeje in Tenerife this year but we keep coming back to Corralejo in Fuerteventura, there's no place like it. We'll be back again next year 😃
That’s what we like to hear!
Done both and love both but Fuerteventura and Corralejo in particular just ticks every box for us , its such a great vibe , not too full on not too quite
Definitely 👍🏻👍🏻
Stayed in furventura but love Lanzarote
Never been to lanzarote but was in corralejo in march. Actually met you David. Thought it was just lovely.
Yeah I remember meeting you at Baracuda! Hope you’re well Anne ☺️
Great video I totally agree with everything you have said. Fueterventura all the way fir me and when ever we island hop we just can't wait to get back to Fueterventura no matter how late in the evening it is. I always feel that as we land on the plane, we go through a bubble like a mini snow glob minus the snow and its just a special place which is a small kept secret really. Love love love it ❤
Fuerteventura for me every time after coming there for over 30 years love everything about it ❤
Yessss ☺️☀️
Fuerteventura for me every time. The live music scene is fabulous in Corralejo, the best music bar in the world: Rock Island, especially on Wednesday Harry 😉 , we once spent a week in Playa Blanca, it was nice but I spent most of the week staring over the water wishing I was in Corralejo 😅. Came home 2 days ago and counting down the days to next trip in November.
Yes it is "the feel" of Corralejo: having travelled to 5 Canary Islands and a lot Of Europe I have never experienced elsewhere.
Glad someone understands ‘the feel’ of the place - we weren’t sure that was going to come across 👍🏻☺️
I completely agree with you about Puerto Del Carmen, and I do love both islands 😊 As you say different areas different feel ❤
100%
Done lanza the once but there's something about corelejo that keeps drawing us back. Will be our 8th time in December. Just love the place 😍
It’s ‘the feel’ of the place 👍🏻
Great video lads. I have been to Lanzarote once, enjoyed it but no burning desire to go back, currently in Fuerteventura for 20th+ time. Agree that there is a completely different vibe in Fuerteventura which draws me back, compared to the other major Canary Islands.
Yeah it’s ‘the vibe’ of the place!
Nice Video guys agree Fuerteventura does feel more Spanish and has a unique vibe. Much like Tenerife Las Americas Puerto Del Carmen doesnt visually look Canarian but has some good bars, restaurants and ok beaches. Maybe do a Corralejo v Caleta video ?
Good idea! Thanks Kevin ☺️
I have visited Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Gomera, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, and La Palma. Recently I spent 3 weeks in Fuerteventura, with a visit to Lanzarote, and agree with most of the observations in this video. My wife and I definitely enjoyed our time in Fuerteventura and the musical nightlife in Corralejo. Nevertheless, having spent considerable time in La Palma, starting in 1972, I would say that La Palma and Gomera are probably the Canary Islands in which one experiences, for the most part, authentic Canarian culture. It is my experience that the other islands have become immersed in "tourist culture". There is Canarian culture in Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, to be sure, but not to the extent it is in La Palma.
Yeah you’re probably right with that one, fair point! Thanks for the comment ☺️
Fuerteventura has a laid back relaxing vibe, only found previously in Ibiza & great live music, can't wait to return ✈️🏝️ Lanzarote has lots to see like you say, but then it's been there done that 😎
Definitely
Love feurta .. coming very soon ! Hope to see you! 😁
You should def both go to La Graciosa and video the trip! Take plenty of sun cream as not much shade there. For me Fuerteventura = chilled relaxed vibes, best beaches Lanzarote = activities and adventure
Yeah we definitely plan to! And yes agree with that summary 👍🏻
got to be fuerteventura for the beaches its easy to visit lanzarote from corralejo just booked flights for month to fuertuventura with easyjet for xmas
Good news!
Nice to see you guys ! So true what you say we are drawn back every year and are planning to live on this fantastic island. Take care boys we will see you in December for a month through to New Year😊
Ahh good news! See you then!!
Good video. I love both islands and think they are both really good for sight-seeing. Playa Blanca is my piece of Paradise just something about the place that I love, like the walk from the lighthouse back into town or in the other direction to Rubicon Marina and Papagayo beaches. Good shops in the old town area and Rubicon and a few good live music venues. Have stayed in a great All inclusive hotel in Caleta de fuste but not a huge lover of the resort. Recently stayed in Corralejo and loved it especially the more varied choice of live music venues which is what really makes our holiday. Both PB and Corralejo have a great choice of restaurants. God willing we will return to both islands as often as possible. Loved seeing you play in Rock Island Harry and spoke to you both nights David, recognised the voice behind me at the bar 😂
Ahh yes I remember meeting you guys at the bar - thanks for the comment 👍🏻
The multicultural aspect of Fuerteventura is certainly attractive. We’re coming on holiday at the end of September. Thanks for your videos👍🏻👍🏻
Enjoy it!!
@@NomadBrothersTravel I certainly will!! I’ve fallen in love with the island
Having just bought a place in Villaverde, there's only one winner for me, nothing wrong with Lanzarote at all but Fuerteventura is a special island.
Ahh nice one
Jandia & morro jable in the south much more laid back chilled vibe & it has the best beaches in the whole of the canaries .Absolutely stunning 😍
Definitely!
Only spent half a day on Lanzarote but great video again.
Oh,congratulations on European football,David.
Thanks! ⚪️🔵
Compeletely agree with your video guys. Corralejo and Fuerteventura in general has that vibe, that laid back easy life feel. Lanzarote comes across as a more touristy place to have an active sun holiday.
I’ve uploaded Fuerteventura and Lanzarote travel films if you want to check it out 🌴
Tough one. Both friendly islands, no hassle like Tenerife!
We don't believe it's Harry's way or the highway😅 we agree it was the feel and vibe we got 14 years ago that makes us come back each year to fuerteventura 👍❤️💯
I’ve uploaded Fuerteventura and Lanzarote travel films ! I love them both 🐙🌴
They’re both good in their own ways
Of course Fuerte 😊
Hi @Nomad Brothers hope you’re both alright, the next time I go to Corralejo in April 2024 I’m gonna do a trip over to Lanzarote to see what it’s like because I’ve never been before.
And also go on the bus to El Cotillo
Yeah check out our videos in Lanzarote and El Cotillo!
Love you guys❤ and Fuerta Corralejo is THE best place in the world..roll on August😊
That’s soon! See you then ☀️
Fuerteventura is better if you want quiet and to be more with the locals
and Lanzarote + other islands are hotspots and more like Ibiza and alicante in the mainland so depends if your looking for a busy expat Spanish holiday or a quiet island also come Fuerteventura after summer but before christmas for the really quiet period (my fav time of year to go)
Definitely agree ☺️
nueve horizonte the hill to the left of caleta de fuste they are trying to grow more green so hopefully over next 5/10 years that area up near the abanonded pool should look better also hopefully they do something with that too (the pool)
That would be nice!
For a holiday it does not matter, as long as there is a beautiful beach, good hotel and good restaurants . But Fuerteventura (Corralejo) and Tenerife (playa de las Americas and Costa Adeje) are my favorites.
We definitely need to see more of Tenerife 👍🏻
I have my second home on Lanzarote and love of course Playa Famara. There are so more beaches here actually such as Playa Blanca, Papagayo, Playa Mucheres and a very instagrammable black beach 😉
But Fuerteventura impressed me a lot as well.
I think the difference between all of the canary Island makes them so great 👍🏼
Planing a a week for the new year celebration in one of those islands, which one is better in terms of fireworks and some music?
Thanks:)
I love ❤️ Fuerteventura and Lanzarote i was there last summer with my family but for living is better correlejo.💕
👍🏻👍🏻
There is a special energy in Fuerteventura. Been to Fuerteventura and to Lanzarote and do agree that Fuerteventura feels a bit less turistic and some very local areas still.
Corralejo is nice, but I'd say the best in Fuerteventura is for sure to explore with a car and driving along those cost lines with just the mountains and the sea. Nothing can compare to that. Just breathtaking
As a Lanzarote lover (in particular PDC), I was ready to get mad at this video but it's a well balanced review. I've been loads of times and love it - it just feels like home. The one thing that puts me off having a holiday in Fuerteventura is the style of the buildings. I'm a big fan of 'A Place in the Sun' and the holiday resorts look quite ugly compared to the lovely Lanzarote style. Also, I am worried if I book a holiday in Fuerteventura I would spend the whole time looking across the sea at Lanzarote! Anyway, we have decided to spend one night there next time and get a feel for it (we love live music so it will be the town with music square). Thanks to @scotsmanintenerife for the intro to Fuerteventura and you Nomad Brothers.
Ahh thanks so much for the well rounded comment! Honestly, it’s definitely worth the visit - if you like live music I’m sure you’ll love it! Check out sunset lounge, rock island bar and music square 👍🏻
Been to both Islands many many times, For me Fuerteventura has the edge. As a golfer there are 5 courses on Fuerteventura compared to 1 on Lanzarote.
yeah also some of the greatest architecture/landscaping for it out of all the islands
Ive done all the 4 main canaries, for me Corralejo is the nicest, its not just the beaches, it feels clean, even the main strip is nice. Theres no tacky areas to it. Retains alot of authenticity to it. Day trips are better for me in Fuerte. El cottilo lagoons, Grandes Playas, Oasis Park. Many happy memories. Ironically just across the water in Playa Blanca is the only place that i really enjoyed. The beachfront long walk, sitting in a restaurant overlooking the ocean. Definitely 2nd place. But ye Fuerteventura for me all day long. But would happily do playa blanca if need be. Im not a fan of places like Playa Del Ingles, Las Americas, PDC etc. Albeit theyre a lot cleaner and more modernised nowadays, but have a tackier feel.
I agree with everything you just said! Playa Blanca is a lovely place to chill for a day trip 👍🏻👍🏻
Enjoyed the video guys. Been to both but Fuerteventura is superior by far in my view ❤
Definitely agree
Totally agree Fuerteventura and Corralejo win over Lanzarote every time which is why we'll be back later in the year. Another great video. Thanks.
Good to hear 👍🏻👍🏻
Fuerteventura cos you 2 live there x
Great shout
Hi guys
Fuerteventura is the most magical place . Its beautiful and wins your heart ❤️ straight away cant wait for 18 days time 😅
Wow! Back again?? See you soon ☀️
@NomadBrothersTravel it's been 6 months !! Far too long lol 😆
I think Caleta is a lot less touristy than Corralejo!x
What Caleta is totally made made for TOURISM! 😐
Caletta is a lot less Spaish than Corralejo it is purely a man made resort with a man made beach.
Corralejo probably has more foot fall of tourists because it’s a bigger resort but it’s a bigger mix of nationalities whereas Caleta is predominantly British
Sorry prefer Lanzarote Puerto Calero. Beautiful! Visited Fuerteventura El Cotillo and liked the beaches but was disappointed with the restaurants and food.
Surprised you were disappointed with the food, I genuinely think the restaurant quality here is some of the best. Well, Corralejo rather than El Cotillo. Maybe you had a bad experience. 100% agree Puerto Calero is beautiful 😍
Tell your Dad he needs a fresh trim Dave! haha
It has to be Fuerteventura for us fellas... and of all the places we've been to over the years... Corallejo is the one for us. Beaches, weather, friendly locals ( jeeze... even the dealers are friendly!! lol)
And of course the interesting people you meet and the friendships you make while you're there (present company included of course lads! 😉🤘) It has it all and the flight time isn't too bad either. We've been back and forth since 1990 and we still haven't seen everywhere we want to see yet! ( prob too pissed half the time if Im absolutely honest! haha)
So that's our vote. 👍
He got the trim 😂
I’ve heard there have been problems with water in Fuerteventura recently. What’s your experience living there?
got a property near caleta defuste (the airport town) just came back the other week and not heard/had any problems what issues did you hear was it water shortage or contamination? (sometimes La Olivia in the top center it gets dry piping but they seem to be on top of it now a days)
@@BaileyMagikz I think the situation I heard about is La Oliva, probably some maintenance problems. But I am curious to hear what it’s like to not be able to use tap water for cooking and having to rely on water bottles for everything. Thank you
@@tizianabelotti7957well if it happened to my place it would be me having to buy an extra 3/5 L Container that week on top of the 4/5 your already buying/using for drinking 😅 and gonna have to be conservative with the toliet flush aha so i'd assume just a major pain in the backside
In my experience, there’s always been a water shortage in La Oliva area. Just means that you have to have shorter showers😂😂 For cooking I think it’s okay to use tap water as you’ll boil it anyway? But we do tend to use bottled water for everything and the costs rack up…
@@NomadBrothersTravel Exactly! That’s why I was curious to know from someone who actually lives on the island . Thanks for answering 😉
Might be an idea to look up the meaning of the word, 'notorious'.
La graciosa is far from being the greenest of the canary islands. There are no real roads on the island and the only cars are the jeeps that take tourists around along with a handful of service vehicles. It became the 8th canary island in 2018 and only got electricity in the late 70s.its a sand covered island with only a very few little houses on it.. I suggest you visit this island and see for yourself the beauty of it...
We always visit Lanzarote and went over to Fuerteventura.. Didn't rate it highly so never returned.
I think they meant La Gomera.
Yes I agree ..I'm thinking they meant ls Gomera but they did say on the far north of Lanzarote.....a small island...x
@@janbakeronthego Yes, well, they're clearly not the sharpest tools in the box. You didn't mention the volcano on La Graciosa, its most prominent landmark.
Yeah I meant la gomera 😂 Nice to know people are listening though 😂😂
@@NomadBrothersTravel never been to la Gomera but I recommend la Graciosa off the north of Lanzarote..beautiful island that became the 8th canary island in 2018 totally unique and so unspoilt X
Couldn't agree more about PDC, spent 6/7 years of holidays there (5/6 months a year) and thought this is what the Canaries is like. First visit to Fuerteventura I was amazed, wish I'd done it years ago and from now on it'll be half the year on Fuerteventura 😊
Correct call 👍🏻
Love you guys but La Graciosa is far from the greenest island do you mean La Gomera?
I might’ve done 😂🫢
You said distinct feeling..your text on video says distict lol😂
Text said Gracosa not Graciosa
Island. Come on lads.
😂😂 it was a long day
@@NomadBrothersTravel 😂😂😁
See you soon. Whole of July ❤️
First outing with irish passport yippee
Fuerteventura ever time for me , Lanzarote does not interest me sorry 🤷🏼♀️
Every...
@@seedybee7201 😔
Great video but hands down Fuerte wins every time more genuine and canarian! Sorry but not Caleta! X🤔
I agree with you Ann 😂 can't wait 18 days till we are there 🎉
☺️☺️
Sorry lads, I totally disagree. Corralejo, from the end of the FV-1 all the way down the main drag to the old Shell Station (now the Aberdeen Steak House) is a complete Blackpool look alike. There are a massive number of tacky souvenir shops, dodgy electric / booze / fag shops and bingo / casino shops all along that road. How the hell a Rolex outlet survives in the middle of all that is beyond me!
There is no longer a Rolex shop. They deservedly lost the contract.
Agree 👍
