🔴SUBSCRIBE HERE / @ameliabolger
We are still in Phase 2, so show you around Playa Chica, Las Rotundas Shopping Centre, the city centre and provide information on how to visit for the day. We start at the bus station and let you know which bus to take from Caleta de Fuste or Corralejo.
Puerto del Rosario isn't really a tourist destination but there are several things to do and see here which make it worth a day trip. Even during lockdown de-escalation there is a lot of activity from locals and most of the shops, bars and restaurants are open.
Another update showing our life in Fuerteventura during lockdown in 2020. We live just outside Caleta de Fuste and retired early here 2 years ago.
On Monday 25th May 2020 Fuerteventura entered Phase 2 of lockdown de-escalation. There is a much larger list of things we can now do, with these being the ones that are most relevant to us-
Phase 2 allows small social gatherings of up to 15 people.
Restaurants can open their inside space to a maximum of 50% capacity
Beaches can open with 2m social distancing observed
Shopping Centres can reopen with shops allowed 40% capacity
Exercise time slots relaxed, with activity allowed anytime expect between 10am-12noon and 7-8pm which is reserved for over 70's.
Drop your questions in the comments and I'll do my best to answer them all 👍

Thanks for this update on Rosario. Whilst it isn't necessarily a tourist destination, its always been a favourite place of mine. Good to see a little of the normal hustle and bustle of the place beginning to return. Looking forward to the extra vlog next week. Good to see both of you looking so well.
Thanks Paul, we like it as much as you! 👍
Thanks once again girls I can't believe that I have not visited this part of Puerto del Rosario before !!!!!!. Next time we are back in our house we are going to check out the beach etc, it is so lovely. Look forward to your upcoming videos. Best wishes from Scotland x
It’s a great place to check out for something different to do. The beach is really fantastic ☀️
Vivo en Puerto del Rosario y Al pasar con mi coche por la zona De la Iglesia y las vi grabando varias escenas , me llamó la atención ver a dos turistas en estos tiempos del Covid19 y ahora que casualidad que me salga recomendado el vídeo en TH-cam (Jajajajajja) .... saludos 😉👍
😂 😀 vivimos en Triquivijate pero hacemos videos para monstrar a los turistas lo bonita que es la Isla. Gracias por ver 👍
😄✌️
Great getting these updates. Myself and my husband visited the island from Ireland last year and may be back in October. Knew about your vlogs from Facebook. Mind yourselves. Looking forward to the video from the south of the island.
Thanks Gillian, hope you’re doing ok in Ireland 👍
@@AmeliaBolger yes all good, just need a holiday !!
Loved the Video great work looking forward to Gran Tarajal Bernadette Ireland
Thanks Bernadette, we didn't have time to include Gran Tarajal on the latest video but we love going there so will definitely include it in a video soon
Great video and information keep safe and well 🏴
Thanks David, hope all is well in Wales 👍
I really like Puerto - there are normally some really good restaurants in the evening (full of locals) and lots of families out 'taking the air' along the seafront. It feels really 'Spanish' and not at all touristy. Great video - very informative - thank you ladies!
It's great isn't it! Our favourite restaurant there is La Jaira de Demian. Highly recommended if you've not been there before
Amelia Bolger - yes it’s a great place Amelia. We like it too.
Hi Ladies! Thanks for another great vid, look forward to next weeks plus the bonus one. Glad Sarah is on the mend (vodka indeed! Tut tut!) 😂
😄
Enjoying your videos! We have been coming to Fuerteventura for past 4 years and should have been back next month. Watching your videos will be the closest we get to seeing the beautiful island just now x
Thanks Jill for your lovely comment 😊
Top video Ladies really pleased that Spain and the Canary islands have seen no corid 19 related fatalities in the last few days and that the restrictions look like they will be lifted by the 3rd week of June We are looking forward to visiting Rosario in September
during our 10 day stay in Caletta really easy to get to on the number 3 bus. Lovely cafe on the corner facing the beach we enjoy visiting. Keep up the good work the both of you
Steve
Hi i was just wondering is any of yhe hotels open.. i booked to go to salou but i think il change my holiday to fuerta if all the quaretine are lifted in ireland.. fingers crossed.. great videos thanks for all the updates
@Anne not yet, I’m in the processing of finding out some dates and will include them in next weeks video. Each hotel is deciding individually and most want to have the flight arrival situation clarified before they announce anything
Great videos with lots of good info. Be good to hear more about you guys and living on the island. Keep up the good work
Thanks! I’m enjoying making the videos so plenty more to come 👍
Wind noise is 100% better, cant wait for next video
Thanks, that’s good to hear, my microphone hasn’t arrived yet so just doing what I can in the meantime. Hopefully it will be even better when it does 👍
Many thanks Amelia and Sarah for your very informative films on Fuerteventura our Paradise island! I so look forward to seeing them, we are missing our visits to our place at Fuerteventura Golf so these films keep us going until we can come again, goodness knows when that will be! Sarah take care of that collar bone hope it heals quickly. Thanks again and looking forward to the next episode. Regards Susanx
Thanks Susan, I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. It’s such a great island, I hope you’ll be able to come back soon to enjoy it again once it’s safe to travel again
Another gr8 vid . Thx for the updates from fuerteventura
Thank you, appreciate you watching and commenting 👍
Hi, thanks for the update and video. We always have half a day in Puerto del Rosario, it's a nice place to while away a few hours. I sometimes go on my own if the other half is too glued to the sun lounger, the buses are really good. Any female looking to visit Fuerteventura as a lone traveller ,,,go for it, it's a nice laid back island and it always feels pretty safe.
We are still waiting for things to settle down more in the U.K. and we won't be able to book a holiday as long as the "quarantine for two weeks when you are home" is in place due to work commitments. As soon as things ease off a little, we will be booking.
Many years ago I came on my own for a week in Caleta and completely agree, it’s a very safe and welcoming island for solo travellers. Thanks for sharing your experience 👍
Looks like a nice place for a visit, thanks girls for updates/// look forward to next video, keep safe
Thanks Alan 👍
Another good vlog Thanks Amelia & Sarah pleased you are feeling better. Cheers.
Thanks Les 👍
Thank you for another informative vlog. I'll post a link in my normal places and pass it on.
Thanks Sally, that’s kind of you 😀
Thanks for the updates, always nice to see other part of the island too 😎😎
Thanks Al 👍
Thanks both it sure has changed there for the better since my first visit in the early 90s ! 😎
I bet! I first came 19 years ago and there’s been a lot of improvements since then 👍
Thank you Amelia. When we are next in Caleta will get the bus and give it a try.
Go for it Susan, it’s really easy and the bus drivers are helpful 👍
Until the lock down came into force I would visit fuerteventura every 12 weeks love the place normally stay in caleta and all the times we visit never been the the capital of fuerteventura. So as soon as we travel again from the UK I am going to catch bus and see the capital looks lovely great beach.
That’s great Pete, I think you’ll like a walk around Puerto del Rosario. Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for another very well presented update. It’s really great to see things coming back to normal. Looking forward to your next vlog, 👏👏
Thanks Robin, we were saying this morning that we’ve come a long way since complete lockdown. It’s great that things are getting back on track here 👍
Thanks for the update Amelia hope your both well look forward to your next vid
Thanks Aaron, hope you’re good too 😀
Thanks girls for your excellent trip around the capital I’ll will definitely take your advice and give this a go the next time I’m staying in Cala de Fuste.
Thanks Peter 👍 Glad to hear you’ll give it a go
Thankyou ladies, love it there. We had to go for all the wrong reasons, I.e. to find a police station, however, there was a funny side, something got lost in translation and the taxi driver took us to the Bus Station instead of the Police Station! We had a lovely day there, not a tourist in sight, great bars and history. Would certainly recommend a visit. Keep up the good work girls. 🙂🌞🍸
Oh gosh! I’m glad there was a funny side and you still managed to enjoy your time there 😀
Me and my girlfriend hope to visit the island in August! Such a beautiful island. Love to watch these videos with updates
Thanks Miranda, there’s a lot of nice places to see here 😀
Great work Amelia👌😎
Thanks Nicky 👍
Thanks u both for updates 👍
No problem Tracy, thanks for watching 👍
thank you both for keeping us informed
Thanks for watching 😀
Still in lockdown in South Wales.Hoping to come to Fuerteventura in November.Was in Fuerteventura at the beginning of the
Lockdown in March managed to get the last rescue flight out back to the UK👍
Sounds like you did well to get on the last flight David, thanks for watching and see you in November 😀
Thanks ladies......glad that Sarah is feeling better. Stay safe. 😉
Thanks Steve 👍
Dont mind UK what about Ireland 😂🇮🇪🍀, Amelia, Sarah thank you both, we so look forward to your updates, rosario looking fab! Hope to be on the island soon 🙏💖
Opps, can’t forget our friends in Ireland 🇮🇪 Hope you’re doing ok over there
another great vlog thank you so much
Thanks Duncan 👍
We are sailing there tomorrow thanks for the guide.
Bon voyage! Thanks for watching and hope you have a great time 👍
Thanks again Amelia and Sarah for further update. My husband and I have been to Puerto del Rosario many times and never discovered the beach, only visited the shopping centre numerous times. We’re hoping to visit the zoo again in November, so can you let us know if and when this is opening. Looking forward to next weeks update. Take care and enjoy your Vodka. 😉😉
Thanks Cath, it’s a lovely beach. Definitely worth checking out. The zoo isn’t open yet but did a little piece on it that will be on Mondays video 👍
I visited rosario when i was in fuertaventura a few years ago and you summed the place up well.
Thanks, appreciate your comment 👍
Definitely a more relaxed environment, Very nice. speedy recovery, vodka lol, I am sure it will work lol. enjoy your vid's ladies
😄
Once again thankyou ladies, always so informative, we normaly do fuerta as an early one in march, then greek islands in june an sept, looks more chance you being open come sept, so what is say el coletio (excuse spelling) like in sept, went for the day about 8 years ago, but on more recent vlogs seems to have developed some what ???
Yes, slightly more developed than when you last went but still a lot quieter than the other resorts. Your hotel choice would be more limited but lots of self catering apartments/villas to rent. Some amazing beaches in El Cotillo and it’ll be very hot in September. If beaches are your thing then go for it, if you tend to stick to the hotel pool then maybe not so much.
Hi ameila. We are to come on holiday on the 9 th of July to furtaventura. Do u think many places be open
Shops, bars and some restaurants are already open in Caleta and Corralejo. Tourist activities and excursions are expecting to restart on or around 1st July. At the moment it’s just confirmation of flights and hotels that we’re waiting for. Hopefully you’ll get confirmation in the next week or so about what’s happening 🤞
Really liked this little town.
Another informative vlog Amelia. We haven’t been to Rosario yet, maybe next time. Hope the arm is on the mend Sarah. Stay safe Ladies 😉
It’s a nice place if you fancy an afternoon away from one of the resorts. Worth a try 👍
Great videos very informative. Visiting Corralejo next year in July. Are you able to recommend any hire company’s that hire out bicycles? Also any car hire company’s? Thankyou.
Look online for a good deal and get full cover insurance (additional cost) so you don't get any nasty surprises when you return the car. 1,500 euro for a scratch taken off your credit card.
Bikes are as cheap as chips in your resort.
Good luck
@Daniel there are lots of places along the Main Street in Corralejo and down by Town Beach that do bike rentals. They’re all a similar price and bikes are in good condition. As for car hire, I do plan on doing a video on it soon. Short summary- don’t rent from Goldcar, they are notorious here for ripping people off. Do rent from a company with an office at the airport- Payless, AutoReisen and Cicar are companies well regarded here and won’t rip you off. Reserve a car online in advance for the best rate
Does Puerto del Rosaio belong to Africa or is it a colony island?
Thanks a lot Amelia and Sarah, its always good to have ideas of where to go for a change of scenery. Do you think its a good idea (availability of buses there and back) to take a day trip from Jandia as this is the resort we usually holiday at.
It’s certainly possible Mark, the number 1 bus serves Morro Jable to Puerto Del Rosario and stops in Jandia. It would be a long journey though, probably around 1 hour each way. That bus also stops at Gran Tarajal which is a nice beach town with some shops and local cafe bars. That would probably be around 30mins each way if you don’t want to go as far. I’m sure I’ll feature Gran Tarajal at some point in the future as Sarah and I do like to visit there every so often
Great info girls
Thanks Steve 😎
Nice vid.
So do you live on the island?
I seen the other day that some of the UK Airports published a list of which Airlines will be flying where when they start up again and some places they will start flying to from July but from what I have read it doesn't look like the flights to Fuerteventura will start until at least August at the moment with the likes of Jet2 etc
I think some of the airlines are willing but need the green light before making announcements. It will be an interesting couple of weeks as I imagine there is a fair amount of work for the airlines to do behind the scenes getting aircraft and crew ready to fly again.
Yeah things could change between now and July 1st but like I say from what I have read I would guess August at the earliest as it is now, Hopefully things get a lot better between now and when they resume and everyone can get back there as soon as possible
Thanks again girls for your updates. I watched a carnival outside the Barcelo Cala de Fuste 2014 and it was amazing, could you find out if they will be coming back as hopefully I will be returning to the Barcelo ASAP. Kind Regards
Hi Peter, there are several events throughout the year that have parades. The main Caleta Carnival is usually in February. One of my viewers runs the website caletafuerteventura.com that has that sort of info 👍
Thanks for sharing ladies
Thanks guys i like having my contacts on the ground🤣🤣 dont not whats happening our end due to come out 2nd of july heard nothing from jet2 yet if they do cancel little villa in coralejo we always use free 6th of August so might get a second chance.take care of yourselves.
Thanks Gary, at least you have a plan b ready to go 👍 Hopefully it won’t be long until we know what’s happening
Sadly with all the protests going on in U.K. and lack of social distancing we will be lucky to be allowed anywhere. Due out to Corralejo 1st September for 3 weeks.....fingers crossed.
Let’s hope the situation improves with the UK figures 🤞3 weeks sounds great. Is it all holiday or are you training out here? We see a lot of cyclists out on the roads
Amelia Bolger I will be support vehicle if required. My son and his coach/mate both competitive triathletes. Coach was a pro last year but as no races this year he’s having a break from the pro scene. He did Lanzarote 70.3 last year and was planning the same this year. Having said that he came off his TT bike on Thursday at 31mph and is pretty well scraped up and battered. We should be staying at Tamaragua and if all is well they will use swimming at Oasis Papagayo.
Ouch, sounds painful just thinking about it. Triathletes seem pretty tough though so I’m sure he’ll back on the bike soon enough.
Thank you
Thanks for watching Steven 😀
@@AmeliaBolger welcome x
I was there last month not many English people about lovely place though
Hi
I rent one room in Fuerteventura (gran tarajal) for holidays or month
Er.... Retired! Much to young, you get bored stiff, start alittle business.
Any good antique rastros out there?
Is it a big expat commune or is it
More the Germans.
Leaving the corporate rat race for a completely different lifestyle was the best thing we’ve ever done. Certainly no time to be bored 👍 Not seen any antique shops on the island. Plenty of arts and crafts. There are some expat areas with British, Irish, German and Italians. We live in a mainly Spanish village and love it. Thanks for watching
