    El Cotillo Fuerteventura – A Tour

    El Cotillo is on the northwest coast of Fuerteventura. It was once a sleepy fishing village, and although it has obviously expanded since then, it has retained its heritage and charm. El Cotillo has been loved for many years by people who want a quiet, laid-back holiday away from hen and stag nights, football shirts,…

    Our Dogs – Oscar and Jenson

    Our Dogs – Oscar and Jenson     I have been asked by a few people whether we brought our dogs with us when we moved here so I thought I would write a post about the two little monsters. Actually, we didn’t have a dog in the UK for the last 6 years we…

    Big Waves in El Cotillo

    Big Waves in El Cotillo Big Waves in El Cotillo are not that unusual in winter. After all, there is nothing between north America and the west coast of Fuerteventura for 3500 miles.

    Finding the long, lost, source of the Tababaire

I endeavour to bring new and unusual things in Fuerteventura to this channel, despite the very real personal danger to life and limb. So, in the true spirit of Dr Livingstone himself, I went in search…

OK, the truth is I sat comfortably on a bench and videoed because they were so close. I know nothing about surfing, other than having watched them for many years, but the waves in…
