After living and working on Fuerteventura for 19 years, I returned to England in May and we are going to buy a narrowboat next week. We'll travel the canals and rivers of England and continue working online as English teachers for Spanish students.

I’m Canice, nearly 62, from Ireland. I bought my first place in Fuerteventura 17 years ago as an investment, sold it at a loss but in between I bought my place in Esmeralda which is our family only holiday home. We me and Mrs C visit about 4-5 times a year, kids, nieces nephews brother come out at other times. Plan will be to retire part time out there and here in Ireland. My hobby is music, I have played bagpipes from 7 years old into my mid 40’s when I fell out with the whole pipe band scene because of the Scots changing the competition rules. A-year and 1/2 ago I took up playing the concertina and really enjoying myself playing it. 

I was part of the old Fuerteventura forum where a number of us managed to meet up in Caleta on a few occasions, sadly only Captain Sensible is the only other member still active on the forum and he’s no longer living here anymore ???

Would love to see something like this again, meet-ups of members. I have met Nottingham Red in Caleta last March.  

Enough about me now let’s hear what others say and think.

Hi Russ I first joined this site at the beginning of the pandemic, must admit it kept me sane during lockdown etc. But from what I can see now most of the people have homes out there, we only come once a year for a month feb/March and have been back once since pandemic, still love it and back next year. If we were younger would have considered buying a place out there, but too late now. We are a couple in our 70s but still active,living in Leicestershire. I wish you all the best looking for a new lifestyle and buying a home out there, and thanks to all the other members who acknowledged me during the last year's of uncertainty due to covid. We are fully vacinanted with another booster scheduled for 17th September, so will be there next year middle of February ?

I'm Andy from Nottingham as my user name suggests!

Been a regular visitor to caleta since 1999. Certainly seen many changes to the place since then especially how the resort has expanded. On my first visit there was no Atlantico centre or properties on chipmunk hill and the barcelo was just being built!!

Stayed at most of the hotels and several privately owned apartments/villas. Prefer self catering due to the large number of great restaurants/bars to go to. Certainty spoilt for choice.

Back in the uk I'm a self employed tiler and spend most of my spare time watching sport, dog walking and gardening.
