I think this article in RTVAC is referring to Camper Vans rather than tents. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere years ago that tents are banned but I could well be wrong.

Cabildo, city councils and SEPRONA meet for the first time to solve the camping

· Fuerteventura is the only island in the Canary Islands where camping is not prohibited, increasing the number of campers on our coast.

· Free camping significantly damages the coastal coast of Fuerteventura, not respecting the environment.

· More than 80% of campers are not residents of Fuerteventura.

· Cabildo and city councils reject the prohibition of camping on the island, working with the advice of SEPRONA, to define the areas that in each municipality can be used for this purpose.

On the initiative of public institutions and the Nature Protection Service (SEPRONA) in Fuerteventura, a first meeting was held this Friday morning in the plenary hall of the City Hall of Antigua, to assess the situation on the island regarding camping areas, campers and incidents collected, in order to create a consensual arrangement between municipalities, Cabildo de Fuerteventura and environmental agents.

The meeting chaired by the mayor of Antigua, Matías Peña, has been assisted by the Insular Councilor for Infrastructure, Territorial Planning, Coordination with Municipalities and General Services, Sergio Lloret, the accidental head of the Puerto del Rosario company, the Lieutenant Mario Fornes, the Head of Patrols of SEPRONA in Fuerteventura, Juan Carlos García, the councilors and councilors of the town councils of Pájara, Dania Álvaro Soler, for Tuineje, Pedro Soler and Martín Cano, of Puerto del Rosario, Sonia Álamo, of La Oliva, David Fajardo, in addition to the councilors of Antigua, Juan Cabrera and Agustín Rodríguez.

During the meeting, the significant increase in the number of campers was assessed this year, as well as illegal camping on the island, with consequent damage to the coastal coast of Fuerteventura, which is the only island in the archipelago that does not totally prohibit the camping

All public representatives present at the meeting agreed to keep camping on the island, not prohibiting them, but defining the areas where they can be held in each Municipality.

The mayor of Antigua, Matías Peña, valued the meeting as the first meeting that can solve the combination of respecting a traditional activity on the island such as camping, taking care of the environment and respecting the law.

The counselor, Sergio LLoret, has invited to participate in a new and upcoming meeting in which all municipalities bring proposals for areas of camping interest, assessing which meet the necessary requirements and what legal procedures must be initiated.

In turn, the Chief of Patrol of the Nature Protection Service, stressed the importance of the meeting to regulate and order in consensus, the camping areas, avoiding sanctions and complaints to users and municipalities. We are part of this team, together with the town halls and the Cabildo de Fuerteventura, and we agree not to want to prohibit but to define the camping areas within the legal framework that they require, says Juan Carlos García.

I have to confess to be slightly confused by all this as each year the various ayuntamientos invite people to apply for permits to camp at various places on our coasts - Tamara.

Does anyone know why the bar cafe next to the church in La Oliva has not opened for at least 5 weeks across from the ayuntamiento

Article in El Pais today. 
No.12 is Playa Jarugo in Fuerteventura (headed in the article as being in Puerto del Rosario!) but is correctly described within the writeup as being accessed through Tindaya.

from RTVAC:

Tamara - still no decision to go ahead by Costas on the refurbishment of the hotel planned for autumn 2019!



The PP asks the PSOE that the Government of Pedro Sánchez of an immediate solution to the Hotel Oliva Beach

· "We demand the intermediation of the PSOE majorero in the Ministry of Ecological Transition to ensure that workers and their families are not affected by the lack of response from Costas", says Gutiérrez

· "The priority on the agenda of a Senator in Madrid was to fight for the rehabilitation of the Hotel and its workers and the senator for Fuerteventura has not done anything", regrets Fernando Enseñat

· Tony Pereira claims "forcefulness for once to the Mayor of La Oliva"

The PP of Fuerteventura regrets that three months after the election campaign and despite the promises of the Socialist Party campaign, "the project to rehabilitate Oliva Beach remains unanswered by the Government of Spain and workers will be affected by an ERE ", denounces the spokesman of the PP in the Cabildo of Fuerteventura, Claudio Gutiérrez that demands an immediate solution to the Central Executive. "We demand the intermediation of the PSOE majorero in the Ministry of Ecological Transition to ensure that workers and their families are not affected by the lack of response from Costas," says Gutiérrez.

We will be in Jandia late September, plan to explore the beaches hopefully up as far as Playa Esmeralda, are there any stretches of beach North of the lighthouse in Jandia to Playa Esmeralda that your expected to cover up?
Thanks

Just thought I'd post my experience as just home, wasn't sure what to expect numbers wise, not expecting to see much nudity due to the time of year, we were there July 11-18

The last couple of sets of sunbeds south of Riu Oliva Beach which in my experience is usually 100% nude in September were sparcly populated generally, a mix of families, couples, single male & single females nude, maybe occupying 30 sunbeds maximum. A similar number closeby on the beach itself plus those using the stone windbreaks further down the dunes beach so numbers wise I thought it was reasonable considering the time of year

Can't really comment on Flag beach as only went once & only as far as the first stone windbreak.

Weather wise it was cloudy most mornings until the cloud burnt off, sunny after that, it was windy though, wind speed of 30km/hr most days so other than the wind it was a good trip & I'd chance returning at this time of year, we stayed at Riu Tres Isla

I have read that the population of Caleta is 6,000.  Does anyone know more details?  Is this the figure for permanent residents, or does it include the tourist population or not as the case may be.

I meant to post this question 2 weeks ago - 

What are they doing widening the verge of the ring road, what is the point, will it be strong enough to take vehicles so you can pull over so other vehicles can overtake you as they do in some other countries or is it so cyclist don't have to use the main carriageway?

Bet I get a mix of responses to this query
