Nice little Spanish restaurant right on the seafront in this sleepy little village. Reasonable prices and lovely setting. Sorry it's a short review but it was a while ago when we went.

Been here a few times as we like the setting. However last time we went it was not long after the rains and the place was inundated with flies - we had a drink and moved on - see windermeregolfers review of the bar at Caldereta.
The problem with Diferente is they don't have a lot of choice on the menu. Not overly cheap because of the setting and lack of competition, but what they do have is nice enough.

Analyzing the data of  INE for the last decade for Fuerteventura, from 2008 to 2018, it is observed that the population has grown every year, except on January 1, 2014, when there was a sharp decrease of 2,244  people, (2.2% less). All of the other start of the years have shown increases, the largest of them in 2008, with 6,543 more inhabitants (+ 6.9%); 2018, with 2,976 more inhabitants (+ 2.7%), and 2017, with 2,778 more inhabitants (+ 2.58%). In the years of the crisis there were smaller increases - in 2010, 325 more inhabitants (+ 0.32%), and 2011, with 580 more (+ 0.56%). 
Unemployment rise
Population growth could be indicative that, despite the improvement in the economic situation experienced in recent years, unemployment data on the island remains high. In fact, last year 2018 unemployment increased on the island by 114 people to stand at 8,691, which represents a rise of 1.3%.

Is this path for cycling only, or can you walk it? I've always wanted to walk to Salinas from Caleta, but the rough ground put me off...

Happy New Year all, for those of you not on Facebook my FB Live videos from last nights celebrations   

Just wondering if there are any sunloungers used by naturists on the stretch of beach between the Riu Palace Jandia & the Hotel Iberostar Fuerteventura Palace?

I gather that most head towards Morro Jable Lighthouse before stripping off?

Think the beach is Playa del Matorral, any other information that may be helpful is much appreciated

Thanks

All you ever wanted  to know!
