Last week we took flight from Gatwick for a week in warmer climes - nothing lavish a small apartment in the resort of
Corralejo on the island of Fuerteventura (that means, I gather in Spanish something like 'Strong Winds').

Flight in to the destination airport was a good one leaving slightly earlier (from Gatwick) and arriving ahead of schedule - somewhat surprised to be reminded (after some years I suppose) that they're in the same time-zone as UK.
Loads going on with visitors from Germany, France and mainland Spain too - strength of the pound and the fact that it's a 'Duty-Free' zone meant we actually didn't spend all our cash.
Plenty of places to eat and drink many had UK TV generally sport - not sure how it works with the
satellite footprint and in case of Sky subscription.

| This restaurant had trees going through the roof. |

| Sadly Windy's was closed |
Temperatures were around 22- 24C and there was a fair amount of sun- one of the local specialities seemed to be the intricate works on the beach made from sand. (more on the holiday later)
 |
| There were 2 or 3 guys who made great sculptures each day on the beach - this one even had candles inside |
