This week we visited Lajares on a Saturday so that we could show you the weekly craft market. Lajares in a vibrant village in the North of the island home to lots of surfers and artists. As well as the market there are a number of small shops, bars and restaurants there. As El Cotillo is only a 10 minute drive away we decided to go there for lunch. We chose Pintxo restaurant as it has a great terrace with a view of the harbour and Castillo de El Tostón. No visit to El Cotillo is complete without a visit to one of the fantastic beaches. We enjoyed the view of Playa del Castillo before driving to Playa La Concha and enjoying a drink at Torino's Beach Bar. After a great day out we headed home and made pizzas in our Ooni pizza oven (ours is an old 2S model but we really enjoy using it and the pizzas taste amazing!).

My favourite place on the island is El Cotillo. Sarah's is Betancuria- czcams.com/video/ZkEN2DykMkE/video.html
*Tell us yours in the comments* 👇😎
As below
Great video. The last few videos mean I will get a car next time I come though I might not get through all the drives you've done..... But so thankful that you've showed off the island ❤️👍👌
@@cmdrclark1 One of the easiest places to drive :-) There may be one set of traffic lights
My favourite place is definetely Cotillo , also had real good times in Corralejo and Lajares but Cotillo is something special 😀
Waouh it’s just wonderful🤩 I know very good El Cotillo. I stayed in this village a few monthes in 2016 and 2017.
There you will find all what you want ...long beach for walking for surfing. Caribean beaches with white sand for swiming. The sunset is beautiful and there are good restaurants . It is quiet.
Betancuria is also pretty in the mountains.
I like also Lajares. The volcano Calderon Hondo waouh!!!
For me The best is El Cotillo🤩💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you. We hiked up the volcano a few months ago. There’s a video on the channel showing it when we did 3 different hikes on the island
Betancuria without a doubt its a must for us every time we visit.
One of your best, if not the best, vlog ladies! Thank you for bringing that beautiful place (and weather!) into our home. Roll on the days, not long to go before we’re back there, and yes it’s onwards and upwards here as the vaccinations speed on. Loved the Italian music (it sounded Italian anyway) with the pizzas and of course the vino! La dolce vita 👍
Thank you so much, yes I thought a bit of Italian music was right to go with the pizzas 😀
Thank you for the tour of Lajares and El Cottillo we have spent some of the best times of our lives on the beaches of El Cottillo Love the look of the Pinchos also your Pizza Thanks again
Yet again thanks for bringing our favourite place of El Cotillo into our home,we can't wait to get there and enjoy the beaches,cafes and restaurants it is so peaceful but the sea can be angry at times. Like everyone we are looking forward to visiting the island again
Take care and our order is 2 vegetarian pizzas
cheers Gary and Linda
I love the eateries in Lajares and the beaches in el Cotillo. A visit to Betancuria is a must, too!
Christ your so lucky. The bar in Cotillo on the beach, one of my favourite places on the planet. Thanks for posting.
Love a bit of El Cotillo. Last time we were over had a late beach day and ended up watching a wedding by the lighthouse. A lovely sight. And with the kids, no ongoing ice cream requests as nowhere to get them. Self sufficient beach days rock. Roll on 18/08 fingers crossed back on Fuerte'.
It’s surprising that there’s no ice cream vans here, would be a cracking little business!
Absolutely brilliant views. Very professionally filmed.
Glad you enjoyed yourselves. You deserved that lovely lunch.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks Jeff!
Great video, thanks for sharing ladies! What a wonderful life, so lovely to see! 😊
El Cortillo is one of our favourites for sunset, beautiful! X
Thanks for another great video ladies. I’m always on the lookout for foodie recommendations, so the pinchos will be on my ‘ to do ‘ list next time.
El Cotillo, great place to watch the sunset
La concha in el cortillo is the best beach ever seems so long since we were last there
Can't believe how quiet El Cotillo beach is, lovely to see our favourite swimming pool though, spent many a day there.
Keep up the good work Ladies, great to keep in touch with our favourite holiday destination.
Been to the island and times and usually base myself in corralejo. Never been to El Costillo, but its a definite for my next trip. Thanks ladies.x
I have never been to Fuerteventura but it’s a joy watching your updates so I would definitely like to visit the island .Cheers both .Your videos are a little ray of sunshine .
Thanks so much David 👍
Thank you, loved the video ! Been to Cotillo at least twice a year before Apocalypse...
What I wouldn’t give to be on the beach in the hot sun right now in Forte,
You are lucky…… Enjoy ☺️
Great video & place to live. The food looked great. Enjoy! I hope to visit soon.
Hi Ladies. Excellent vlog as always. We loved El Cotillo when we visited there. The beautiful little restaurants, serving exceptional fresh food.
From what I can see of your home it looks lovely. Saturday night is our pizza night too, all made by myself, nothing like your own I say 😉
Have a great week, and stay safe and well 👍
Homemade pizzas are great however you do them 👍🍕
Lunch hour is the best hour of the day :)
Loved the video! El Cotillo is also our favourite place - missing it so much. So envious of the pair of you right now but glad you are enjoying yourselves and appreciate you sharing a bit of it with us.
Thanks Lesley 😀
A nice, cold glass of "Dorada" on the beach; how we miss Fuerteventura and particularly, El Cotillo, our favourite place on the island. We've never stayed there but it's only about a half hour drive from Corralejo. Thanks for the video - really enjoyed the memories!
Great video both , what a lovely island you live on thank you for showing us around .
Hi Girls..Loved the video, missing the island, we have been going for over 20 years, you are so lucky, keep up the good work..
Thanks Douglas, hope you can get back soon 🤞
Had lunch there back in 2016, fabulous food and what a view....
Thank you for sharing your video xx brilliant my favorite place is El Cottilo
Thoroughly enjoyed that video ladies. El Cotillo is a special place ... the town, the harbour, the surfing beach and of course the lagoons. But you got me when you went to Torino's beach bar ... been there many times, and it's where I had my first ever Canarian Potatoes! :) xx
Ditto,it brought memories flooding back of sitting at that beach bar. I also loved the canarian potatoes,do you know what the sauce is called that is often served with them? I cant remember,its an orangey colour, so delicious, never been able to find it anywhere else.
@Alkemy it’s called mojo rojo. The green one is mojo verde. If you can’t find them in the shops you’ll easily get them on eBay :)
@@alkemy9279 love a bit of spicy mojo sauce. ❤️
@@alistairclyne9362 Aha! Thank you, now I know what its called I can search for it. Just wish I could hop on a plane & go get some!😁👒👓
@@sarahbolgerBolgy you're just teasing me now! Lol😁
Love El Cotillo your video's keep us going. Thanks girls
Hi girls.That restaurant in El Cottilo looks amazing food looks very nice & a nice view to look at. Thanks for sharing
Really enjoyed this vlog. So lovely to see the gorgeous beaches & people enjoying themselves. Thank you once again xx
Excellent presentation and content. Really good. Food / pinchos looked amazing. I am sure ye both got through it all. Yum Yum.
Hiya, Great video. Always great content. Beautiful scenery. The food looked tasty. Oh, I could quite happily sit on the beach and just listen to the waves all day. What a lovely day. Your pizzas and salad looked lovely. Can not believe how quick they cook. I love pizza with salad. Thank you for sharing. Have a good week. Take care.
Where’s the next vid? Better than anything I can ever find on TV and now paramount to my essential viewing 🤘😁
Lovely video. The beaches at el cotillo have got to be some of the best i have ever visited. Well jel.
awwww thanks ladies for a great vidio loved every bit of it nice to see a bit of normality and sunshine take care both of you 💕
It's hard to say. We love Betancuria but equaly El Cotillo is lovely too. We sat by the harbour & little birds came up to us for food. We had a lovely meal at the seahorse. I think is was British owned. We also found a little back street cafe where a nice coffee was 1 euro. We always take lots of pictures & video's of the places we visit. So tonight 1/3/2021 i have just rebooked for me & Bev for the 14th September after having to cancel April 2020 & April 2021. We booked flights with Jet 2 . The barcelo beach bungalows as members of Barcelo club, so a nice seafront apartment overlooking the Caleta Marina. Nearly booked car hire with jet 2 & then remembered your car hire video that i had saved. So will book a 14 day hire with Autoreisen as you recommended. We usually only get a car for 3 days per trip . This time a full 14 days, so we will travel much more. I bet there is a sight that me & Bev have seen that you 2 have not. It was way back in 1998 i think. It was the American Star liner wreck about 10 miles south of Ajuy. Regards from Steve & Bev.
We haven’t seen that. Glad you’ve managed to book a holiday again and hope you have a fantastic time. That is for the comment ❤️
@@sarahbolgerBolgy Sorry Sarah i forgot to say the Ship broke up & vanished about 10 or more years ago. Regards Steve & Bev.
There’s supposedly a bar in Puerto del Rosario decorated with wreckage from American Star. Will have to see if it still exists! Glad to hear you’ve booked for September 😀
Indulge away ladies and just keep the videos coming. Love La Concha beach and that Bar Torino behind
Yet ANOTHER quality vlog, thank you ladies. What I’d give for a bit of sun & a walk on the beach right now, oh & a pizza 🍕, stay safe ladies 👍🏻😎
Didn’t think we’d get so many comments on the pizza. Making everyone hungry 😂
Thanks Ladies for a lovely video.
Colour of the sea is lovely.
David in Torrevieja
Thanks David 👍
Best video you've made so far!!! El Cotillo is so beautiful. Is the french cafe in Lajares still open? Keep up the great work!
Yes, it was open and lots of lovely baked treats on offer. Their roof terrace is a lovely place to sit 😀
Great video again! I feel like I've been on my holidays now!
Love the pizza oven will have too look into that xx
Thanks Steve, the pizza oven definitely gets more use than the barbecue in our house. So easy to use once you get the hang of it 👍
Thanks for sharing your video. You have a great lifestyle at El Cotillo.
Thank you!
We are the Family ,there sitting in front of your Video in the Pinxo Restaurant with our child. Thanks a lot for the Video
No way! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😀
@@AmeliaBolger we knew you through your videos... It was a big coincidence
I'd love a house tour !!
Not my favourite...! I mean GREEN, not my favourite colour, but I'm green with envy right now!! Pfft!
😂👍
Slainte ladies, nice touch. Looks like you had an amazing day☘️☘️
🍻
We love El Cotillo. We stay in corralejo but always hire a car. We found an amazing restraurant called Olivo Corso. Amazing tapas. Looking forward to going again soon. Love your pizza oven.
Olivo Corso is a great place. They did a lot to support the local community by offering free meals to those in need during our lockdown last year too 👍
Torino's beach bar (where you had a late afternoon drink) , or Azzurru just behind it. best places to eat and watch the sunset. In my opinion :-)
Well done girls, keep them coming. Was there this time last year. Should be there now, but we all know why not.🤪
Ditto 🙁
It’s still so quiet, just a few tourists from Germany, Belgium and Spain. Seems as if the hotels expect it to get busier from June onwards so hopefully people will be able to enjoy a holiday again this year
Thanks once again for the post.... it looks so super cool I would absolutely love to go there i just love arts and crafts and probably a great place to start a new business there 😀 especially my jewellery. Its so nice to see you both being able to do 'normal things' like going out for a meal; keep enjoying what have where you live its special! It gives me hope that we can do that soon.... fingers crossed. Take care look forward to seeing where your next trip up takes you both Kirsty 😃
Oh wow what a brilliant video!!! Oh I do miss the Markets in Caleta! Love to rummage round the stalls!. Stunning village & the scenery was breathtaking! Can’t wait to come back this Oct fingers crossed 🤞🏻 all being well!! Mmm those 🍕 🍕 looked yummy!. Xx
Great vid again ladies, thanks. Is it always that windy in Fuerteventura?
We've not been yet, they both look beautiful, very jealous! 😎🏝
Chrs guys roll on nov 🤞🤞🤞its still cold in scotland so cant wait

Thank you ❤️
Great vid, nice to see Cotillo again - fingers crossed for November 👍❤️
Thanks girls for sharing your day, excellent camera work. How far is El Cotillo from Cala de Fuste. I’d probably get a taxi Kind Regards
It’s approximately an hours drive. Lovely place
I’d say about 40-45 mins when Amelia’s driving 😄
@@sarahbolgerBolgy brilliant I’ll be at the pool bar Barcelo Cala de Fuste 😂
Lovely video , enjoyed the music too..... and now I want a pizza😄
You two always looked so relaxed and do a really professional Vlog with interesting facts. Keep the good vlogs going and keep yourselves safe. Well done.
Thanks Alvin! 😀
What a fantastic vlog girls really enjoyed it. Thanks so much. Cannot wait to be back there my favourite place to visit. Greetings from the Emerald island. X
Thanks Shelly!
Loved this video girls xx after the year I've had I need to follow my dreams to move here & get a pizza oven 🤪xxxxx brilliant way ro show what a beautiful place it is thank you both xx
Do it! 😉
Loved this weeks vlog, El Cotillo is one of our favourite places on the island, can't wait to try the Pincho restaurant. I was fascinated with your pizza oven, might be looking out for one of those! Thanks girls. Susanxx
Hi Girl's,
Another great vlog, lovely chilled day for you both.
Regarding the markets, I bought a wallet at the weekly one
in Caleta, it didn't last that long, once it started to wear and tear
I found most the backing was made of Kellogg,s cereal packets, (got to be a joke in there somewhere) 😊
Kellogs Crunchy Notes wallet!
Yes, those items aren’t made to last. The craft market tends to sell hand made higher quality goods but they’re more expensive
@@sarahbolgerBolgy Thank you Sarah, lovely to get a direct
reply again, chuffed with that😊
Is that Lajares Market different to the Caleta one? The Caleta one is just cheap tat to me, is Lajares market some nice arts & craft goods.
Yes, it’s different to the Caleta one. Mostly hand made stuff, more expensive but better quality
That was fantastic, I enjoyed every minute of that, it was very interesting. The food looked fantastic, I also now know how to make pitza. You are both doing a great job in promoting the island. The Spanish tourist board need to employ you
Thanks Roger 😀
Really lovely video and to finish off with home made pizza 🍕 thumbs up 👍🍷 😊
Loved the video. I’m not an expert either but the ‘fish’ bit made me laugh out load 😆😆😆 xxx
😁❤️
Thanks 4 the video,
Gets Better every time,
And what a Lovely place could have happily stayed 4 a week,
Food looked delicious,👌
Maybe you should have a go at surfing u might pick it up eazy
Would be fun trying,,🏄♀️👍💋
I'm loving your channel. Good chemistry between you two and you share similar likes to us. Now watching your Vietnam trip, just where we were going if it wasn't for covid. Enjoy you upcoming trip to the USA
Thank for info will be there in 2 weeks xx
Just love Fuerteventura.
Once again ladies thanks so much for your vids very informative as per usual🐥👍🐥
I suspect the fish entered the shallows to feed then got trapped.
That sounds more like it 😁
Sunday i was in the Fado Rock Steak House in Caleta.
We love that place, great food and the staff are really friendly 👍
Brilliant video, can't wait to go there hopefully in September. See you soon ladys in your next video.
Cheers. Once again lovely video, we are all now jealous and cannot wait to join you🤞
Great vlog ladies. I always look forward to seeing your videos. Ireland is very cold at the moment and of course we are locked down. We have booked for July so really hoping we can make it. Its keeping us sane knowing we may be able to visit caleta as we really miss the island so much.
I’m quite positive about July, fingers crossed for you! 🤞
@@AmeliaBolger thanks Amelia. We just hope and pray we can travel. Do you know if you have to have the vaccine or is a negative test acceptable ...here the irish government really are not giving us much info and the vaccine rollout is slow. They want all of us to staycation in Ireland ....which means a week away in the rain x
El Cotillo really is beautiful, you are so right 👍
Indulge away ladies, your indulgence is my indulgence etc, lovely vid, West of Ireland is very wintery at the moment, but you bring a little light to us all, I've booked for early May for Corrie, fingers crossed 🤞keep em coming 😎
Excellent film, I enjoyed that one. Thank you, regards, Chris.
why have tv so high up? that pizzalocomotive looks fantastic omg
👍
One of the best vlogs ladies. I can smell those pizza’s all the way from sunny Bradford 👍🏼😎
Your vids get better and better
Thanks 😊
You are great girls! Hope to have the opportunity to meet you there 😊
Great video thanks
Pizza’s looked amazing 😋
Am sittin witn mince an totties and your havin tapas Arghhhhhhhhh
Great video. Can I order a pizza any flavour will do looks amazing
Margherita on its way 🍕👍
Fabulous as usual. Thank you.
Hi girls did either of you go to Bonds Nightclub while you were in Birmingham.
Not me. In my younger days I spent a few nights on Broad St but in latter years it was mostly the gay area bars and clubs
Cheers very nice day out, that pizza looks nice, great video guys.
Lovely video girls especially the cooking part.
I love the pizza oven ! where did you buy it?
We got it from Amazon UK just before we moved out here and had it shipped with the rest of our things. It’s made by Ooni. Ours is an old model now, a 2S. The price seems to have gone up a bit and availability is low at the moment, maybe due to the pandemic? 🤷♀️ Here’s a link to the current model - amzn.to/2Prfb93
Looks great. Thanks for sharing.
