On our first visit to Fuerteventura, we took one look at the main road into Corralejo and decided it was not a place we wanted to go .... the shops, the number of people.
This time round, we thought we would take a look.
I`m so glad we did.
Yes, there were a lot of touristy shops, but further down names like Desiguel, Bershka, United Colors of Benetton.
I have to say I couldn`t resist a peek into Desiguel.
Also lovely jewellery shops .... I treated myself to some turquoise earrings.
But the biggest surprise was the charming beach front, lined with vibrant themed bars, surf-related sports shops and delightful restaurants with engaging waiters drawing us in.
To our left .... the sea, bordered with volcanic rock, the sands drifted with seaweed ...
... sand artists (can they really earn a living?) ...
... and expanses of white sand.
Well we did get drawn into La Playita ....
... mainly by the charming frontman who drew our attention to the
woderful fresh fish display.
The red ones are deep sea fish hence the big eyes.
We were very glad to have got there early. As we were seated and ordering, the place gradually filled up until every place was taken.
It was very popular.
I loved the decor .... black tablecloths, a striking runner and velvet
napkins.
Tall patio heaters completed the look.
There were attentive, friendly waiters.
I had seabass with a creamy white wine and prawn sauce.
It was delicious.
Paula and Steve chose a paella to share .... the waiter served it with panache.
No room for naughty puds but we did get a rum digestif taken through a thick cream layer using a straw.
I highly recommend this restaurant but suggest you get there early.
It is just below the Music Square, right by the beach.
We wandered out to the harbour wall to find a bright moon reflected in the sea, then up into the Music Square to hear the live band playing.
An unforgettable evening.
