A whole week away together in the sunshine and warmth of the Canary Islands, I just couldn’t wait and after all the stress of recent months this break was very timely for us both. Gretchen has often spoken about Fuerteventura and so I was keen to visit the island to see what it was she loved about it. I think that the constant sunshine, golden sandy beaches, clean turquoise seas and great surfing and snorkelling probably have something to do with it.
We had rented an apartment in the Las Dunas Residential complex on the west side of Correlejo. The complex didn’t disappoint. We had a balcony that looked out over a beautiful pool (that was very rarely used as this was mainly residential rather than a holiday complex) and there were no children in the complex either which meant that it was very quiet and peaceful. There was a useful wifi zone in the complex (so that we could still stay in touch with work) and tennis courts and a gym (which we didn’t use).
A real find was a small bay that was a short walk from our complex, that was fantastic for snorkeling. Once in the water the bed of the sea was rocky and home to lots of different fish. We also saw large shoals of fish that came close in to the beach probably to enjoy the warm currents. Lovely.
The highlight of the trip however was a 4 hour buggy ride that we took on our penultimate day, up to the Volcanoes and round to El Cotillo (a surfers beach) and then down the more rugged coastline back towards Correlejo. By the time we got back home we were caked in dust and my hair was solid and matted. But it was worth it! We will definitely be back again in the future.
