Fuerteventura-Rural-Agrotourism-Workaway

Kiteboarding training I 've to admit, its not like wakeboarding, it involves loads more of control. U should be able to control many motions, kite-motion, board-motion, leg position. All at the same time... Some photos of our 3 h training with -after some time -  exhausted and frozen  - international participants...

Diving in Corralejo near Isla Lobos The 15 th of April, Scuba and kiteboarding was the shedule. Only scuba was the outcome!  Nevertheless, we spotted shrimps, nudibranches, beautiful ray and usual biodiversity ! Punta Amanay is organised and run by Kristof (Belgian) and some Spanish instructors. Quality of service was incredible ! Material was working quite well. I liked their phylosophy to put all yellow regulators from right to left. What did we encounter ?

Kitesurfing rehearsal I learned kitimg once, now it is a rehearsal of skills. Bodydrag, land coordinating and waterstart. You see the other participants on the beach. It's near to the famous FLAG BEACH ( Corralejo area).

Hiking and market visit - Las Playitas To change the shedule of all the time going to Tarajal for snorkeling and gym by bus, after the work on masonry,  I went to Las Playitas to figure out the place. It has beautiful views and not to forget, amazing animal creatures under the water ! One of the first things I did it was visiting a traditional market form a friend of Jose. Different bracelets and armrings were sold. Not to forget, it has also a surprise: - possibillity to make a hike to Gran Tarajal  I love this goats ! They are more fit then me.  View on Gran Tarrajal....

Corralejo - Cotillo - Isla del Lobos The island has many particular snorkeling spots, kitespots and windsurfspots to discover. Water temperature is about 18 ° C, ( April), my bodywarmer is sufficient ( wetsuit not nessecary and also annoying for freediving), my swimming wear and camera are the remaining things of my equipment. 1) Corralejo Absolutely difficult to enter the water because of rocks, currents and waves. Only biking/walking down to Playa Bayo Negro or at least this direction offers one of the only possibilities.  Never I've seen that many seaslugs ( Gastropoda ) and sea-cucumber ( Holothuria ) in one 'snorkel-survey'. 2) Playa de Majanicho-Punta del Rincon - Caleta del Beatriz - Punta Aguda ( bike trip to Cotillo) All other spots were down in a coastline from Corralejo to El Cotillo.
