Corralejo

Has anyone been to Corralejo in Fuerteventura? If so can you tell me what it's like? I'm not into clubbing but am looking for enough pubs, restaurants and entertainment to keep me occupied for 7 days.

Thanks!

we stayed there a couple of years ago. We were more in the residential area, but it was only a short walk into the centre each evening. Like you we weren't into clubbing as we were a family group. We found plenty of restaurants and I think we ate in a different place each night. There seemed to be lots of bars, pubs etc too. The only gripe we had was in one of the restaurants in The plaza shopping centre (I think it was a pizza pasta place - son is a fussy eater!) we ordered a litre jug of sangria which obviously wasn't a litre as we only got 2 small glasses out of it and in the end walked out without paying for it (we paid for the meal not the drink) in sharp contrast the Slow Boat to China chinese restaurant was fantastic - food gorgeous and service and attention impeccable.

What time of your did you go Jules? And are the pubs open late(ish)?

we went peak season end July beginning August as we were tied to the school holidays, can't help with what time the pubs etc were open till as kids were not really old enough to be taken into them (not sure if they have an age limit, but didn't know what they might see or hear) so we tended to have a leisurely meal and then go back to our villa and have a drink on the patio and play games (cards etc) then kids we go to bed and we would stay sitting out. Actually thinking about it now although it seems like a couple of years ago, it must be nearer 5 years so it may have changed now - hope someone else can come on and give some answers too

My wife and I have been to Colalejo twice. The first time, just the wife and I...the apartments were great and just around the corner from the main street.
The second time we went to a villa with its own pool. We went with the daughter, son in law and three grandkids and again we were only just around the the corner from the main street.
There is also a wee train that takes you about for a pittance. We really loved the place and the grandkids still talk about it. As for entertainment and eating places, we were out most days and nights, often going into hotel and apartment places to enjoy their entertainments.

We will go back sometime


Enjoy
