Because variety is the spice of life!

Lewiston

Holiday 18 July - 1 August. Review of our accommodation is in the relevant accommodation section.

Our 6th visit to Caleta.

Caleta itself changes from year to year. Some things good, some not so. There's an increase in graffiti, especially along the seafront, which is a bit offputting. A missing manhole cover on the promenade remained un-repaired after two weeks, but then this is Spain - manana and all that.

I'd read somewhere on the internet that the main beach was due a facelift, including toilets, new sand and a kids play area. This would certainly be welcome. Whilst the beach is ok, it does suffer in comparison with others on the island as it is manmade.

The Saturday market is worth a visit. Always remember to haggle. I got a nice, but obviously fake, Omega watch for 11 euros. The guy wanted 30, but I stood my ground. One week later it's still working – LOL.


A few bars to mention:

El Capitan, opposite the front of the Barcelo Hotel. Happy hour 8.30 – 10.30pm. Two large beers for 2.40 euros!

Pieros – good, clean family entertainment.

The Beer Garden – great location opposite Pieros. Excellent hot chocolate for the kids!

Restaurant. El Camorote at the harbour. Had a lovely meal on our last night. Fabulous views, reasonably priced, and good food.

Barcelo Hotel. Anyone can wander in, enjoy the shows and have a drink in the evening. Well worth a visit. The in-house shows were much better this year than last.

Other good points were the new businesses springing up beneath the Geranios Suites. A new supermarket, bike hire, two shops and also a great Beach Café, which has fabulous views across the bay towards the harbour – just wonderful during the evening and just what Caleta has been missing. Also, just next door we must give a plug to JD's Family Bingo, being run by a lovely British guy trying to do something a bit different. We popped in a couple of evenings and spent a few euros to give him some support. I know bingo is perhaps something a bit different for Fuerteventura, but it was a bit of fun for half an hour!
Finally, the new beaches opposite the new Sheraton Hotel/Atlantico Centre are great and worth a visit.

The Island itself

We hired a car for 3 days. Drove down to Costa Calma and spent a day on the beach there. Fabulous. A few kilometres further on at Pasco del Risco (I think) the beach is even better, but there are less facilities.

Paid a visit to Correlejo, and the new Baku Water Park. It was enjoyable, but pricey. Having paid 20 euros or so to get in, I thought it was a bit of a cheek to charge a further 3 euros for a sunbed, but whatever, it's worth a visit and the kids will enjoy it.


Overall, a great holiday. Can't wait for summer 2008.
We are Derby, super Derby.
