OK, it has been open again since just before Christmas but I would just like to remind people on here for those that are not aware of this restaurant.
This is our 'goto' place when we want a nice meal, which is nearly every week at the moment.
Not the biggest menu choice, but usually go for the fillet steak anyway as it is fabulous.
They do excellent pasta as well.

  On Street Car Parking
Posted by: windermeregolfer - 14-02-2025, 05:47 PM - Forum: Cars, cabs & roads - Replies (1)

Can anyone clarify the rule about on street parking, can you park anywhere even if it is blocking a persons car gate so they can't get on their own drive to park and charge their car?

  Any seabird rescue available in Fuerteventura?
Posted by: Bonbon1 - 04-02-2025, 03:06 PM - Forum: General Discussions - Replies (2)

Hi
Ive just come back from our annual 3 week hol in Caleta. 

I kept seeing a young seabird flying around the coastal area throughout the stay, around Salinas end and Antigua path - the poor thing was flying around with a big green fishing wire hooked or wrapped around its leg and on it, a stone fishing weight!!!.
 How it is managing, I don't know!! and its a youngster. I know a bit about wildlife rescue and it could be possible to catch it potentially but I don't know who to contact in Fuerteventura. 
I wondered if anyone knew anyone on the island who could potentially help? Those particular birds can live decades. 

It was awful and I keep thinking about it.  Cry
Thanks xx

  Question about customs tax
Posted by: Victor - 21-01-2025, 03:46 PM - Forum: General Discussions - Replies (2)

I am still trying to understand the Canary ways, and I must admit—it is harder than I expected. 

One thing: I am buying from Amazon Prime - EU vendors etc. 
I am often asked for the paperwork, and my parcels stay for a month in Gran Canary. 
Sometimes, they ask for custom tax (again, for EU products coming from the EU), and I usually pay a bit more than 25% of their value. 

Is this legal? I understand there is a small VAT here (7%); it makes no sense why I need to pay so much tax. 

Why is this happening, are the residents here happy with this?

Where is this Money going? (25% tax for most products consumed on the island is a huge, huge amount)

Did I read somewhere that there was going to be a discount of 0.14€ a litre from January and has it been implemented?

  Electricity price increase
Posted by: Johnrgby - 10-01-2025, 08:28 AM - Forum: General Discussions - Replies (4)

I have received the following email from my Electricity provider, what appears odd about it to me is despite it being a substantial increase, I have heard nothing about it previously, and I would have thought it would have been mentioned on social media before now, has anyone else received a similar communication?
"We would like to inform you about some important changes implemented by the government that will increase your electricity bill in 2025.

Please see below the government measures:

VAT increase: VAT on electricity to rise from 10% to 21% (More information here)
System charges: The government has proposed to increase bill charges by 33%. (More information here)
Energy Tolls: For some periods they have decreased but for others they have increased (more information here).


It is important to underline that Evergreen Eléctrica has no influence on these costs, which correspond only to the new charges imposed by the government"

  Ferries and rental cars - a few questions
Posted by: Bill - 06-01-2025, 04:39 PM - Forum: General Discussions - Replies (2)

Hi all,

We are hoping to fly to Tenerife in March but visit La Gomera and El Hierro. The easiest way to get around (and the cheapest as residents) is to hire a rental car for the 5-6 days.

3 questions:

1. Do CICAR/others allow you to take the car to different islands (I suspect yes?)
2. Are all ferry companies happy to take hire cars? (I suspect yes, again)
3. How can you book a ferry in advance if you don't have the registration/exact make of hire car in advance?

Thanks folks.
Bill
