Winter in Fuerteventura despite Corona

Social distancing in Fuerteventura
Fuerteventura's deserted beaches

Even in the new year, the Corona is making everyday life difficult everywhere in Fuerteventura. How is winter in Fuerteventura in times of Corona? Can you go on vacation to Fuerteventura despite Corona?

Hello surfer,
the new year has started, but we are still in the middle of the corona pandemic.
You can hear everywhere that there is now light to be seen at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately, one also has to face the uncomfortable reality that the length of time until this light is reached and the associated relief is not insignificant. This means that there is still a long way to go before everything starts to get "normal" again.

In the last few weeks and months we have all learned how naturally we used to enjoy things that today seem unattainable luxuries. We also learned to appreciate the personal freedoms we had, such as travel, culture, meeting friends.

We enjoyed some of these freedoms, which were possible again last summer, more consciously and were more sincerely happy about them than we would have in the past.
I am convinced that we can completely regain this little personal luxury of freedom and then enjoy it much more.
 

There are comparatively few corona-related restrictions in Fuerteventura

Compared to many major European cities, there are relatively few corona-related restrictions here on Fuerteventura. One can look normal
Many shops and restaurants are open. Some with shorter opening times, because the lack of tourists also means significantly less sales. I think when there are more tourists again, the last shops and restaurants will open again.

Masks are compulsory in shops, indoor areas of restaurants and on the streets in built-up areas. You don't have to put on a mask on the beach and / or during sports.

Since the weather is always nice here, all restaurants have outside areas where the distance between the tables has now been increased. If you sit at the table in the outside area of ​​the restaurant, you don't need to put on a mask as a guest.

This means that hardly anything has changed in the implementation of our surf courses on the mask requirement in the car (not on the beach!).
 

Winter is the season with the best waves in Fuerteventura

The surf trip to Indonesia or Central America is canceled this winter, but it is still possible to make more regional surf trips.
In the last few weeks and months I have explored my neighboring islands of Gran Canaria and Lanzarote a little, but I have also been on the road a lot in Fuerteventura and have noticed time and again with astonishment how spoiled you actually are when you often take it for granted clean waves Having to share at most with a handful of other surfers.

Of course I can't tell you where the empty surf spots are on Fuerteventura, because the joy of discovery belongs to hidden paradises as well as the secrets associated with them :)
 

Conclusion

Even if the epic surf trips to other hemispheres are canceled this winter, on a surf trip to Fuerteventura in winter, besides sun and warmth, you can enjoy little "normality" and freedom. If you are looking you will also find one or the other empty line up, if you don't have time to search, come surfing with us;)
