    It was a blowing a gale up there on the Mirador making this weeks video a challenge! We think we captured the beauty of Betancuria. Have you been and what was your favourite part?

    Brilliant video once again thanks you girls for this. I think this place is stunning its one if the very first outings we did in fueterventura about 18 years ago but sadly didn't do the lookout bit .... perhaps wasn't around then. But we went to the church and the area around and I just remember all the beautiful colour from the flowers. I woukd love to go back but nit on a bus trip it would have to be a car hire instead; you see more then. Looking forward to the next one. Stay safe take care Kirsty 🙂

    Hi Girls
    Thanks again for another great video.
    Yes we've been to Betancuria via stopping off for a coffee at the Mirador.
    My wife and I have been coming to the island once or twice a year since 2007 but due to the current situation we've not been since January 2019 so your videos are keeping us in touch with what we're missing.
    Please keep the videos coming as they are very much appreciated.
    Stay safe.
    David and Carole 😎👍

    Hi, another great film, thank you. We have been there on a organised island tour with TUI from the hotel we stayed in Jandia. It was an excellent tour, but a long day out. I would like to spend more time in Betencuria. We will visit again on our next trip to Fuerteventura. Thank you for all the films, it’s great to see the island especially while it’s so cold 🥶 here in the UK. I look forward to the next film, take care, regards, Chris.

    I love Betancuria, too. Thanks for the view from Mirador. I‘ll have to go there next time. That souvenir shop is great. I always try to buy souvenirs in support. Have you ever tried taking a walk on the Eremita de la Peña route? That was an easy, but beautiful walk. It was a challenge for couch potato me, but the rest of my family loved it.

    Thanks for the video. Betancuria is a beautiful place. We visited on a coach trip many years ago but your video shows it is well worth spending much more time there. Liked the "Vaccines" tee-shirt and it reminded me I get mine tomorrow (the vaccine, not a tee-shirt)! Hopefully, not too long before we can fly out to las Islas Bonitas again. Cheers.

    Thank you for taking the time to do these. X
    Have you done any vlogs on the Costa de Antigua area?
    We have stayed there couple times in Cocosol Apts as well as in Caleta de Fuste.
    Would be nice to see around the area , Crazy Goat and Stoners were always good for a night out.
    Love the Legends 60’ s bar and weekly “all you can eat” Chinese Buffet in Caleta too !
    Carry On your superb videos - much appreciated!

It is on my list at the top to visit all you both went to in this week vid. So pretty with all the flowers. I do hope we get to come this year . I am so longing to get back to beautiful fuerteventura 💗💗💗💗💗. Stay safe and well girls . Look forward to next week vid . Please make it a long one it's the only thing that's keeping us sane this end 😥xxxx

    Hi girls thanks for the video I'll watch it again tonight with sound as I'm at work. I'd read in a guidebook years ago about Betancuria and my friend and I said we should go. We missed the bus one year as we don't drive ai we went to the windmill in Antigua instead which we liked. Were going back to Fuerteventura on the 14th February. I watched a promo video for the town recently and it looked dull and turned me off it. Not that I'm expecting fireworks lol.
    But watching your far superior video has convinced me I need to go there. Hopefully if we're going by bus we get to see the Mirador too because I love photography and the views look spectacular. We stay in Caleta De Fuste I've and I've visited Corralejo. Any other must see suggestions from anyone would be great.

An amazing day out and well worth it. Defo visit again when we’re back on the island. Let’s hope it’s not long before we visit again. 👍

We enjoy it alot and always seem to have an ice cream in the shop at the bottom of the hill next to the bus stop while waiting for the aforementioned. The local bus only comes around periodically so you need to be ready for it!

    Great vlog ladies, I love Betancuria as well, visited twice during my first stay on the island. A word of caution for nervous drivers though, use the CV30 back to Cuesta del Valle (back the way you came) rather than continuing on towards Pajara, that is one scary road!! I think JP did a great vlog about that drive, alone, because his partner wouldn't accompany him having done it once 😶
