We had a walk around Caleta de Fuste on Thursday 22nd October to give you an update on the situation for businesses here. Later that day the UK announced a travel corridor to the Canary Islands allowing a way for tourists to visit again without the need to self isolate on return. All of the details are here- ruclips.net/video/9bZgR3vpOo4/видео.html German travel advice also changed, so it appears that the winter tourism season may have been saved. We don't have business interests on Fuerteventura but have spoken to many people that do. It's likely that this news could save jobs on the island and keep premises open that may otherwise have had to close.
Thanks for the update ladies 👍🏻 just booked las salinas for May 2021 as we missed our yearly trip this year to caleta can’t wait fingers crossed! Thanks x
Good to see you both in Spar last week for a brief chat. I cannot lie that it was difficult to see how quiet Caleta was a I'm hoping that the latest news will herald that experience as the low point. I'm hoping that subsequent vlogs will show a very different and positive picture. Keep up the good work and thank you for your time and effort in providing us all with a vested interest in Fuerteventura a true and honest picture of what is happening.
Hopefully in the coming weeks businesses will start to see more tourists and things pick up. We've booked up for new year definitely needed after a horrible year! Thanks for the update ladies xx
Well a little sad to see Caleta looking so quiet but hopefully, the good news last weekend will see more tourists arriving on the island. Always sad when businesses close but very pleased that some new ventures are opening despite the ongoing difficulties. Thanks for all the updates keep them coming.
Due to come out December but worried we may have to cancel if they enforce the covid test to be taken in the U.K. beforehand.. we just can’t afford private testing costs of £160 each.. :(
Thanks Ladies, a lovely although very quiet walk around Caleta, sad to see it so empty. Hopefully tourism will pick up real soon. We are planning on coming over in March and it can’t come soon enough. Stay safe and take care of each other 😎🌞😎
Thanks again for info, sad to see Caleta so quiet, but hopefully more tourists will have arrived this weekend and places will get going again. Really hope so!
Thank you for all your updates. We are booked to come back in feb 2021 after a year away. Staying at the the playa Castillo bungalows. Keep up the great work keeping everybody informed. Mark
Thanks for the update ladies! We usually travel from Dublin at least a couple of times a year, but current work commitments don't allow for 2 weeks self isolation when we get home. Otherwise we'd be very comfortable visiting. Hopefully we'll manage to get there late December / January when we'll have more free time. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone is booked with aer lingus from Dublin this year or have they cancelled all Fuerteventura flights for 2020? Flights that were available seem to be 'booked out' but I suspect they've just cancelled the flights....... Thanks, Sue
Hi Amelia and Sarah. Great to get the walk around and see some very familiar spots. Unfortunately from Ireland travel is not really an option. The whole country is in level 5 lockdown again. So we can only move within 5km of your home. Stay safe and well 👍
So sad to see such a usually vibrant place so quiet. However, perhaps things will improve soon for everyone. Thankyou ladies for keeping us all informed. Take care lovelies 👍❤🙏
Missed my holiday to caleta this year but even with the news that flights are allowed with no isolation time when back I just can’t bring myself to sitting on a plane when our region has moved into tier 3, fingers crossed for next year
Hello girls Writing this a week late as abit late watching this vid. As always brilliant vid. Love watching all of them . But not a fan of Caleta but still nice to see new businesses opening up . Just heard last night that we are going into a lock down for a month 😪. So canaries open up for us a week ago and now we can't leave the country 🙄. When will it all end and we get to come to this beautiful country. !!!! . Thank you for the mention on buy my coffee link. Your both very welcome and deserving . Keep up the good work . Stay safe well and keep on videoing 😄😘
It's all a bit of a mess isn't it? One step forward and several back. We'll keep doing the videos though, it will hopefully be big contrast next summer when people are back enjoying their holidays again.
I had an email from the Barcelo Hotel to say that at present anyone booked in their hotel is being offered a change of reservation date or accommodation at the Castillo Beach. This is because of lack of numbers but also they can offer the self catering option, they are also upgrading guests who transfer from the Barcelo to superior rooms.
Hope Fuerteventura will be ok. Spoke to my Fuerteventura friends last night and a few have fled to Spain! Noticed my friends Chiringuitos on playa Grandes opposite Riu oliva beach hotel have been completely removed. Hearing oliva beach may not open again. So many jobs at risk. Very sad.
I think a lot of people forget that the island has had thousands of Spanish holiday makers here in the months of June, July and August. In that time the tourist areas haven’t been associated with cases. The hotels, bars and restaurants are well prepared here, they’ve had months and months of strict guidelines to follow. The island was probably at the point where the effects of the virus were becoming far more serious than the virus itself. I’m sure people will continue to be aware of the potential risks but life must go on
Hi ladies. Thanks again for an excellent video. Next time you visit there please would you pop into the Barcelo Thalasso Spa hotel & do a walk around. LOVE that place. We are hopefully going to get over in the New year. Keep up the great work & thank you. 👍
Hi we are arriving at Calete de fustie Wednesday 4th November , are things starting getting to get back to normal , do you know what the Euro exchange rate in Caleta , really enjoy your videos keep up the good work Dave
I’ve seen a few businesses that were closed say they are planning on reopening from 1st November, No idea on the exchange rate in resort but its never as good as the best cash rate in the UK. If you have a good bank account or something like a revolt travel card then use ATM’s that way you get the daily bank rate
Thanks again fir the videos girls they make my day ... reconnecting in anyway with fueterventura is a positive experience and just so great fir the mind and positive wellbeing! Woukd jump on a plane any school holiday but unless a ore booked one from times gone by my employees woukd not grant it at all and would not pay our isolation period if uk did a U-turn. So sadly still going to have to wait until August. Taie care Kirsty 😃
I have booked to come in just to the Oasis Dunes Corralejo in June next year, is it open at the moment do you know ? I’m hoping things settle down soon, stay safe ladies, new subscriber x
Hi Ladies, many people in the UK are concerned regarding hotels opening. They're ringing hotels directly to find they are closed (quite understandably) and not getting any answers. Do you expect most will open if booked to a healthy level?
Some have started to give reopening dates as a result of the travel corridor. Of course another week brings more news and testing is now a factor. Bookings have apparently increased hugely from UK and Germany so I think we will see a few more open in early December for the Christmas/New Year period. Unfortunately there’s nothing you can do other than phone direct to check, the tourist board here haven’t released any meaningful information since August!
well looks like the canarian goverment have thrown a spanner in the works,the new test before you fly will put many families off.family of seven £120.00 per person,so an extra £840.00,sadly we won't be paying that,some people maybe can afford that extra cost we can not.
Thx for your update! I was thinking about coming to Caleta in September but I decided to go to Turkey. It's so sad seeing the empty Caleta... again. We have to come back to normal life... Covid and not neccesery restrictions destroyed to many businesses so far. My friend lives in Caleta and I'm afraid about him and his job.
I’d like to bet there are so many Brits that would love to come to Corralejo but I maybe be wrong and really hope I am. I think with a lot of Brits and the Spanish coming over there, that they infection rate will rise again within a few weeks, I’d love to be wrong and truly hope I am, I know that JP will probably think the same. I should have been there at the beginning of September for a few weeks, but unfortunately we all knew what happened. I’ve personally been coming here for 20 years on and off, the island keeps changing and for the best, myself and my partner Tracey have always loved the place, we call it our second home as we both adore the weather, which is so different from Coventry and Birmingham as you’re well away. Corralejo is like a second home to us, give us a mention in your next video. We love travelling around the island but we normally travel by bus, which isn’t a bad thing as it puts money into the local economy which can only be a plus for the island. Anyway keep safe and we’ll keep watching x
Great informative video, thank you. Could you please do similar in Corralejo, we are due to come over Christmas. So pleased we are now allowed to travel again, and looking forward to supporting the community when we arrive best we can after such a terrible year. ❤️
Coming on holiday the week in December, cannot wait. Do you know if Lins cafe is open? Great videos and thanks for keeping us up to date with things over there.
Hi and thanks for the latest update on caleta. Yep some good positive news for the islands. Not so positive for us here on the isle of blighty sadly almost half of the population ie 30 million people currently going through levels of lockdown more becoming stringent to level tier 3...not the news I'm sure you wouldn't want to hear but the reality is very limited travel outside of a town county or region. I wish this wasn't so and I hate having to report it but it's the fact as of now. Speculative comments on whether these restrictions here will be before christmas and some suggestions not until march! Unfortunate for us that want to travel to the islands.😒.. I wish you both well and thankyou again for the updates they are very much appreciated.
I think many people who have experienced a true lockdown in Spain are looking on at the UK in disbelief. Tiers for fears! It’s not a lockdown in any sense of the word. The UK rules for Tier 3 permit travel to the airport. It may advise against travel but it is nothing more than an advisory. If I was in that position I’d have no hesitation in escaping. Vitamin D in abundance, and no constant media noise. Must be better for people’s mental and physical health I’m sure!
@@AmeliaBolger hiya Today the guardian reported and quoted the following.. Travelling outside or entering a tier3 area to be avoided unless for work education or as a carer. Residents of a tier3 area to avoid staying overnight in another part of the uk while people in tier1 or 2 avoid staying in tier3. As the outbreak is ongoing and growing regular updates reflect the current situation but will be subject to further change. All above from the guardian newspaper group dated and published today. In Scotland no border crossing in or out of the country same applies to Wales.. So the reality is maybe tier1 folk will be on the planes maybe tier1 but as I said it's getting worse and outside of the government stringent criteria is now being issued by the regional county councils..
@@iankwhite I don’t read newspapers Ian. The official document here says travel to the airport is allowed. It also uses the word ‘advise’ so it is not against the law to travel abroad from Tier 3. I think they’d have a hard time legally preventing anyone relocating themselves to a lower risk area, particularly if that person is vulnerable - www.gov.uk/guidance/local-covid-alert-level-very-high
@@AmeliaBolger understood thanks but friends can't travel unless in the same bubble as examples etc lol and whilst I am no fan of the media neither I travelled to lanzarote after checking with the fco by phone and reading their guidance notes arrived on the island and the following day was in lockdown there until eventually being repatriated etc so by the same token I have no faith in the government guidelines having been dropped in it so to speak lol if you get my drift on things lol..I'm still awaiting a response to the insurance company from that journey despite totally compliant to all terms..enjoy the sun and weather your end I'll crack on here with gale force winds rain and chaos lol..take care.
I've noticed that the "Gone fishing " is closed down. That is very sad! Aram's fishing tackle shop was a legend and first stop for hundreds of british fishermen coming to Fuerte since 2006. I hope Aram is OK. I bet you are not aware that hundreds of british fishermen are watching your videos with interest, hoping to catch a glimps of their favorite fishing spots when you show shots of the coastline. Fuerte is the best see fishing destination in the EU.
Great video! We are due to come out for Christmas and New year to club caleta dorada but heard rumours is closed and only reopening self catering and not all inclusive. Have you heard anything?
They’re currently closed Anne and haven’t given a reopening date. All of their Caleta hotels are closed and people were being moved to Corralejo on arrival unexpectedly. I’d save yourself the headache and look for an alternative
Amelia the UK Oxford university have developed a vaccine. Keep tuned. Seems like the NHS staff will get the 1st infussions. They are hoping to start giving it before Christmas. Regards. Steve & Bev.
You’re being duped by this jab thing, it’s a Trojan horse for the great reset which is a 10 year plan by the WEF and UN agenda 2030. Sorry to burst your bubble but the survival of Tourism for the masses is not included. Travel is Reserved for the private jet set only.
Super vlog. Coming out this Friday. Looking forward to a much needed holiday. Great to see some of our favourite haunts although a little sad at how quiet the area is.
What's you opinion on flying from the UK to fuerteventura with the 4.40hrs flight? I would love to come but not sure of being confined on a flight. Hand on heart what would you do in my situation?
I can only share our experience. We’ve been on 8 different aircraft since July and felt completely safe. The filters onboard are equivalent to those used in operating theatres. Mask compliance is excellent. The IATA published research this week showing that out of 1.2 billion passengers only 44 cases were associated with air travel. Flying is safe.
Hi Amelia, we are booked to go to the La Oliva in Corralejo in late November and are led to believe that it reopens on the 1st November, can you please show us a video of this hotel as we have never been before, there are hopefully 4 of us coming (covid permitting), keep up the good work with the videos they are really informational.....Keep safe.
The place will be back to "normal" in a week or two...as far as I'm aware the 14 day quarantine period has been scrapped in the U.K. if you visit the Canary Islands. I've been to Lanzarote and Tenerife a few times over the years (i prefer the north of Tenerife)...My question is... what is special about Fuerteventura?
Fuerteventura isn’t as developed as some of the other islands. The beaches are the big draw here. Beautiful and go on for miles, particularly in the South. We also enjoy hiking here. It seems everyone has their favourite island, they are all slightly different. We visited La Palma recently and thought that was great too!
Hi ladies looks as though we will be over at end of November bit of shock to hear that the Elba Sara is the only one open out of the three looks like your bottle of carva is on the cards at Beach Cafe see you soon D&H xx
@@AmeliaBolger Hi Amelia and Sara a bit late this week on seeing your latest video as usual it's full of interesting information but sadly England is going into lockdown from Thursday for 28 days so holiday are not looking good for us at the end of November so if we don't see you soon we put the carva on hold take care you two regards Donny and Hazel xx ❤
Booked a flight and hotel for next weekend. Hotel in Caleta de fuste Elba Carlota Beach & Convention Resort , very worried that you say its shut!! Lastminute.com say its open now.. I am Worried.com
Hey. Another very informative video guys. Do you know if Globales Tropical is open? Emailed but no reply. Coming over in December, hopefully it is open 👍 🌲🏴🌲
Seriously? 😂 Are you forgetting that the big orange thing in the sky gives off quite a glare all year round here. We wear them for the purpose they’re intended for.

Hi Amelia, That was me that asked regarding the Elba Sara Thank you both , great update and video as usual , hope to see you both out there soon.
Thanks Paul, I’m glad you got to see it. Very quiet but with the news this week I’m sure things will now start to pick up
@@AmeliaBolger I’m really grateful you found the time to both go thank you and what great news it’s starting to get back slowly to reality.

Thanks for the update - hopefully we’re visiting in Jan to Feb - looks as though there’s not much open in Caleta
Looks a cool place! Much more to see and do than i initially thought.
Cool walk around👍
Got my solo holiday booked in Caleta (Nov 2020) now that the quarantine has been lifted for the UK, thanks for the upload/info. New sub 🙏🌊🌵☀️😊
Thanks for this, I'm due to visit Fuerteventura in 2 weeks. Btw I like the Pretty Green!
Well spotted 😉❤️
Really enjoyed your trip around Caleta hopefully we can travel over in New year to enjoy all the wonderful sights
Hope Fuerteventura will be ok.
Spoke to my Fuerteventura friends last night and a few have fled to Spain!
Noticed my friends Chiringuitos on playa Grandes opposite Riu oliva beach hotel have been completely removed.
Hearing oliva beach may not open again. So many jobs at risk.
Very sad.
Unfortunately the Riu situation is one big mess. 400 jobs on the line so hopefully they can find a resolution!
Amelia.
Could you keep me posted regarding Oliva beach hotel please?
Thanks ladies hopefully the canaries will remain open for a while now, All the best.
Let's hope people are careful and things go OK. We are desperate to get to our house in Caleta in December. It's been a long year!!

It was open back in July/August but I’m not sure if it temporarily closed again. I’ll try and remember to have a look the next time we are down there

we was meant to be in caleta but our hotel has closed so we have been moved to corralejo we just hope its as nice as caleta
Corralejo is better anyway so you've landed lucky. You'll love it! The beaches and dunes are stunning.

You’re being duped by this jab thing, it’s a Trojan horse for the great reset which is a 10 year plan by the WEF and UN agenda 2030. Sorry to burst your bubble but the survival of Tourism for the masses is not included. Travel is Reserved for the private jet set only.
Super vlog. Coming out this Friday. Looking forward to a much needed holiday. Great to see some of our favourite haunts although a little sad at how quiet the area is.
I wondered where Cool runnings went....... Another quality vlog..... Thank you
It’s a catch 22 situation with hotels and travel companies, they need to get the balance right. I wouldn’t like that job.
All very difficult again now.
Hi girls, I’m due to land on the 5th December for 8 nights 😬 If I see you around town, I will buy you both lunch, even if it is a liquid one 😉
What's you opinion on flying from the UK to fuerteventura with the 4.40hrs flight? I would love to come but not sure of being confined on a flight. Hand on heart what would you do in my situation?
I can only share our experience. We’ve been on 8 different aircraft since July and felt completely safe. The filters onboard are equivalent to those used in operating theatres. Mask compliance is excellent. The IATA published research this week showing that out of 1.2 billion passengers only 44 cases were associated with air travel. Flying is safe.
@@AmeliaBolger thank you for that. Obviously flying isn't full proof but minimum risk. 👍
Great vlog Ladies as always x
Unfortunately the tourists will not be back. For France, tour operators have canceled trips to the Canaries for the holidays, Germany too.
Great info as usual.
Hi Amelia, we are booked to go to the La Oliva in Corralejo in late November and are led to believe that it reopens on the 1st November, can you please show us a video of this hotel as we have never been before, there are hopefully 4 of us coming (covid permitting), keep up the good work with the videos they are really informational.....Keep safe.
Great work thanks 👍
I will be there on saturday its sad to see it a ghost town but then i thought.. island to myself for a week... erm ... ok lol
The place will be back to "normal" in a week or two...as far as I'm aware the 14 day quarantine period has been scrapped in the U.K. if you visit the Canary Islands. I've been to Lanzarote and Tenerife a few times over the years (i prefer the north of Tenerife)...My question is... what is special about Fuerteventura?
Fuerteventura isn’t as developed as some of the other islands. The beaches are the big draw here. Beautiful and go on for miles, particularly in the South. We also enjoy hiking here. It seems everyone has their favourite island, they are all slightly different. We visited La Palma recently and thought that was great too!
Hi ladies looks as though we will be over at end of November bit of shock to hear that the Elba Sara is the only one open out of the three looks like your bottle of carva is on the cards at Beach Cafe see you soon D&H xx
I think lot of places are now able to make plans to reopen so it probably won’t be long until things improve again. See you soon!
@@AmeliaBolger Hi Amelia and Sara a bit late this week on seeing your latest video as usual it's full of interesting information but sadly England is going into lockdown from Thursday for 28 days so holiday are not looking good for us at the end of November so if we don't see you soon we put the carva on hold take care you two regards Donny and Hazel xx ❤
Booked a flight and hotel for next weekend. Hotel in Caleta de fuste Elba Carlota Beach & Convention Resort , very worried that you say its shut!! Lastminute.com say its open now.. I am Worried.com

See you at Christmas :)

Brilliant vlog
Why do people wear sunglasses when on video? Dodgy to me, what are you hiding?
Seriously? 😂 Are you forgetting that the big orange thing in the sky gives off quite a glare all year round here. We wear them for the purpose they’re intended for.
Well said Amelia! 'Twas me who asked about the Elba Sara btw, appreciate the quick look, great vid as always x
