Taxis are still available but we have reports that only one person is allowed in a taxi so if you are a couple wishing travel by...
The Fuerteventura Lockdown situation is beginning to unfold, the 15 day State of Alarm started at midnight on Saturday March 14th but it seems very likely that it will continue well past the 15 days as the virus spreads.

We are getting reports that take away food is available from some...

Ringed Plover in El Cotillo, Fuerteventura
Saw a Grey Plover in El Cotillo, I only one and it was hard to spot.
Saw some Kentish plovers on the rocks in El Cotillo, Fuerteventura. Very shy, fast moving and difficult to photograph.
