Crashing out in Corralejo

Advantages: Peaceful, tranquility at it's best
Disadvantages: not much for teenagers

If you're looking for a a nice relaxing holiday, look no further. Fuerteventura is now firmly established as a tourist retreat. So what can this island offer you?. Why bother taking a four hour flight? The landscape of this island is to be frank, quite baron, Fuerteventura itself is a volcano, or rather it was, erupting some 10, 000 years ago, forming the island as it now is. Looking around at the lanscape you can clearly see where rivers of malten larva once ran down it's slopes. Over the years it's inhabitants have slowly brought life to this island and have now turned it into a growing tourist destination. The main town on this island is Corralejo, situated on the northern coast. The town is fairly small but there you will find an array of shops, bars and restaurants. Due to it's size Corralejo is easy to get around on foot ...

Review of Fuerteventura (Spain)

A winter break in Corralejo

Advantages: Warmer than the British winter, Gibson's restaurant, Mirak health spa
Disadvantages: Cold winds, cold swimming pools

Review of Fuerteventura (Spain)

FRESH AND FUN?

Advantages: nice enough sandwiches, healthy, part of meal deal, fresh, variety
Disadvantages: not overly great, expensive, unappealing packaing, availibility

Normally when I go into boots, I?m in there for one of their meal deals where you can get a sandwich, a drink, and a side such as a chocolate bar, crisps, fruit or a cereal bar for a smashing £2.99. Usually I?ll opt for one of Boot?s own wraps or sandwiches however on a couple of occasions I have been tempted by something else sitting on the shelf, and these come in the form of Fresh Organic Sandwiches. ?Fresh Organics? (FO) produce a wide range of products including sandwiches, wraps, toasties, salads and rolls. In Boots, there are always sandwiches and wraps, usually salads and occasionally yoghurts and rolls however I have only ever seen the latter in one boots and that was a large one in London. The sandwiches are always in the food section, alongside the other sandwiches which are in the fridge. The FO sandwiches are normally ...
