HOW TO GET TO CORRALEJO

 

Many of the guests of Nomad Surf House, Aloha Surf House, Kaktus Beach House, Little Kaktus  y Hostel Moana ask us about the different ways to get to Corralejo and that is why I have written this blog that I hope will help you Help organize your arrival in the easiest and most economical way possible.

 

Corralejo is located to the northeast of the Island of Fuerteventura and is perfectly connected with the capital of the island Puerto del Rosario and with the International Airport of Fuerteventura, which are only 30-40 minutes away.

 

Corralejo has a very busy port where ferries arrive from the Island of Lanzarote, which is only 20 minutes away and also receives ferries from Gran Canaria.

 

 

HOW TO GET TO CORRALEJO BY CAR

​

If you move by car around the Island you should not worry too much because the roads are in very good condition and there is little volume of traffic which makes them quite safe.

 

If you have arrived by plane and have rented a car at the airport, you should take the road that goes to Puerto del Rosario and later to Corralejo, it takes about 35 minutes. Once past Puerto del Rosario, a few kilometers later you will find two alternatives as there are two roads that take you to Corralejo, the recently built highway that runs inland or the road that runs along the coast to Corralejo. It will take almost the same time in either of the two options, so there is no doubt that the best option is the one that runs along the coast, since you have the opportunity to see the beaches of the natural park of the dunes of Corralejo, some of the most beautiful beaches of the island are here and you can easily see them from the road, and if you have time you can access all of them from this same road, take photos, etc…

 

The Corralejo dunes are less than 1 kilometer from the town. There is not much more to comment because the trip does not have many alternatives and getting to Corralejo is very easy.

 

​

IN TAXI

 

At the airport there are a large number of taxis that will take you to Corralejo for an amount of approximately €50 and depending on whether the trip is made during the day or at night or on weekdays or holidays. The journey takes about 40 minutes. All the taxis on the island are strictly regulated with meters so as not to have surprises.

​

 

HOW TO ARRIVE BY SHUTTLE, PRIVATE BUS

 

This is a system that costs around €6 per person each way. It is a private airport pick up service in a shared bus that brings you to the Ohana Guesthouse. Its stop is 150 meters from our guesthouse, it is called Oasis papagayo. The best thing is that for little money you make the direct journey that is not possible with the public bus.

 

With this system you will need about 60 minutes but it leaves you very close and you will not have to suffer as currently happens  with the public bus that forces you  a take 2 buses since there are no a direct bus and you must change in Puerto del Rosario so you will never know if you will arrive on time to catch your flight since the journey can last 60 minutes or 2 hours.

IMPORTANT. It is necessary to book the shuttle online in advance and above all do it 48 hours in advance since places fill up quickly.

​

​

BY BUS

 

It is the cheapest option, but you should know that there is no direct bus to Corralejo from the Airport.  CAUTION IT IS NOT EASY TO ORGANIZE THIS TRIP AND YOU CAN LOSE A LOT OF TIME IN THE TRANSFER, SO WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU ORGANIZE IT AHEAD AND DO NOT RISK IF YOU GO ON RIGHT TIME BECAUSE YOU MAY MISS THE PLANE TO THE BACK FROM YOUR HOLIDAYS.

 

You must take the TIADHE company bus, line 03 that takes you from the airport to Puerto del Rosario. Line 03 will leave you at the bus terminal in Puerto del Rosario and right there you must take the bus line 06 that will take you to Corralejo.

Therefore, remember that you must change the bus at the Puerto del Rosario terminal.

 

Here is some information for you to check on the company's site  http://tiadhe.com/all-the-routes/

​

STOPS IN CORRALEJO

 

The bus arrives in Corralejo along the road that borders the beaches and has the first stop at the Riu hotels located in the natural park of the Corralejo dunes. Later  continue to the El Campanario shopping center where there is a bus terminal next to the Civil Guard. It has another stop on the main avenue and commercial artery of the city and then it goes to Avenida Juan Carlos I, to the port of Corralejo, it goes up again by Avenida Juan Carlos I where it arrives at the main bus stop of Corralejo and there it returns to Puerto de Rosario passing through the same stops but this time in the opposite direction.

 

​

IF YOU COME BY FERRY TO THE PORT OF CORRALEJO

 

The ferries from Lanzarote and Gran Canaria that arrive at the port of Corralejo leave you a short distance from the old town. You just have to check if your accommodation is in a more remote area since Corralejo is quite large, with residential areas that are very close by car but on foot and with suitcases they are not so accessible, so if you come without a car it is convenient to know that there is a bus stop near the port and with the bus you will get to your accommodation more easily.

 

 

IF YOU COME BY FERRY WITH ARRIVAL IN MORRO JABLE

 

There is a Ferry from the company FRED OLSEN that connects the island of Fuerteventura with the island of Gran Canaria, it is very fast as it makes the journey in just 2 hours. But it arrives at the port of Morro Jable, which is 1.5 hours from Corralejo by car. So if you are thinking of coming from Gran Canaria with this ferry you should take into account that apart from the ferry trip you will have to cross the entire island of Fuerteventura. However, the island is not very busy, so the trip by car is not difficult and also allows you to see the entire island and its landscapes, and you can make stops at places of interest.

There is another ferry from the ARMAS company that makes the journey from Gran Canaria to Fuerteventura but that takes you to Puerto del Rosario. It is a little slower but you will save an hour by car because only 40 kilometers will separate you from Corralejo, and if you come without a car you can take the bus line 06 that will take you directly to Corralejo.

 

 

CYCLING

Fuerteventura surprisingly has many paths for bicycles, it has many alternative tracks and little-traveled paths to pedal safely.
