Location:  Antigua   Antigua


The island's taxi service is a government enterprise, therefore each driver can only operate within his own municipal. If, for example, you wanted to take a taxi from Caleta de Fuste to Corralejo in the north of the island then the driver would take you there but would not bring you back. You would then need to take a Corralejo taxi back to Caleta de Fuste.

Compared to the prices in the UK, taxis in Fuerteventura are cheap. It costs approximately;

12 € to take a taxi from the airport to Caleta de Fuste

17 € from Caleta de Fuste to the island's capital Puerto del Rosario

60 € from Caleta de Fuste to Corralejo

When you see a green light displayed on the top of the car then the taxi is empty and available.

Antigua Taxis is located in Antigua, Fuerteventura.

The town of Antigua is situated inland in the centre of Fuerteventura, Extensive plains with farmhouses and mills, and basaltic-coloured landscapes are the main characteristics of its surroundings. There's a lot of vegetation here compared with most of Fuerteventura in its large valleys and gullies, where you will experience a feeling of pure peace and calm. There are three protected natural spaces: Mapaís Grande Natural Monument, Cuchillos de Vigán Natural Monument and Caldera de Gairía Natural Monument, which prove the volcanic origin of the island.The town of Antigua is situated inland in the centre of Fuerteventura, Extensive plains with farmhouses and mills, and basaltic-coloured landscapes are the main characteristics of its surroundings.

Antigua is known as the centre of Fuerteventura handicrafts, where we can find traditional activities, such as embroidery, basketwork, ceramics, pottery, wood carving etc.
The Insular Handicrafts Fair ( Feria Insular de Artesania) is one of the most important events in the area. This fair takes place during the first fortnight of May, where many artisans from all over the archipelago come to show the variety of their products.
Many of this town's tranditions are still preserved, such as peculiar dances and a wide repertoire of traditional folklore.
Most of the festivals take place in summer, when each village honours the patron saint. Some of the most famous festivals are the Carnival in February and the Festivity of Our Lady of Antigua on September 8th.
Among the popular traditions local sports are very important, such as Canary Wrestling, still in practice and characterised by its ability and nobility.

Have used the taxis on a number of occasions. The staff are always friendly and know exactly where they are going to. Not yet had any problem with the taxi service in Caleta de Fuste.
