HOW TO GET AROUND CORRALEJO

​

Most of the guests of our www.ohanaguesthouse.com and Fuerteventura Surf Camp arrive by public transport from the airport or port of Corralejo.

 

The public transport network is sufficient to move around the island, although with some limitations typical of a small island. That is why if you are thinking of getting to know the whole island and therefore want to travel it from north to south, I recommend the public transport network but only in case you have many days of vacation since if your visit to the island is short it would be It is convenient to assess the possibility of renting a car that will allow you to make the long journeys of the longest island of the Canary Islands with greater comfort. You should also know that there are many places that are not accessible by public transport because the bus network reaches the main towns on the island but does not reach all points of interest. Public transport is cheap but if you have a few days and want to visit all the interesting places, I would recommend renting a car and even more so when the prices are much cheaper than anywhere in Europe, check the prices and you will see.

If you cannot rent a car and you want to move around Corralejo

 

and visit some interesting places nearby the public transport will bring you to El Cotillo, Lajares, of course it takes you to Puerto del Rosario and from there to the airport.

 

The detail that you should consider is that Corralejo is a small but quite long town. This is a problem because from end to end there are more than 35 minutes walking.

If you do not have a car, you should consider whether it is worth walking all day because there really is a lot of distance between the places of most interest. You can live in the center and visit a beach in the same center, go shopping in the same center, etc, but if from there you want to go to the wonderful beaches of the Dunas de Corralejo, the walk is

very long.

 

​

let's look for solutions

​

You can always rent a bike or a motorcycle. The difference is very big if you really want to take advantage of all that Corralejo offers if you do all the paths on foot or if you do them by bicycle or motorcycle. But if you have decided to make all your visits on foot, you should take advantage of the small and simple public transport network that consists of only two lines that cross Corralejo. Thus, to cross Corralejo del Puerto or the old town to any area, you can take the 06 bus that runs through Corralejo and leaves on the road that crosses the dunes of Corralejo. Using this line you can avoid walking throughout the entire town from north to south. However, if the distance is not very considerable, you should know that the cost of the buses is around € 2.5, so it will be expensive to use this means only to travel a few kilometers

.

If you are thinking of visiting the beaches of the Dunas de Corralejo

 

It is a good option to take bus 06 and get off at the Riu hotels. The bus leaves you in a place closer to the most beautiful beaches of the dunes. The bus leaves you about 2.5 kilometers away from Corralejo, that is, you have saved yourself walking there and from this point you can travel the route in the opposite direction to Corralejo, which is one of the most beautiful of the beaches of the dunes of corralejo. From the Riu hotels you still have about 6 kilometers of beaches in the opposite direction to Corralejo, in the direction of Puerto del Rosario, so if you have arrived by bus you will arrive rested and that will allow you to have the strength to discover these wonderful beaches that are always deserted.

 

In short, I wanted to make you think about the suitability of renting a car as it is very cheap here, but if it were not possible I would recommend renting a bike or motorcycle which will help you to reach all corners of Corralejo more easily but if you want to travel by bus You can take advantage of them but you have to know perfectly their lines and operation as well as schedules because the network is very small and has nothing to do with the public transport networks in cities where you can reach any corner very easily.
