Most people will have seen the sad scenes in La Palma of the lava flows from the eruption destroying people's homes on its way to the sea. Obviously, it must be heartbreaking for the residents of the island.
A number of people who are due to visit Fuerteventura on holiday in the coming months have contacted me to ask if Fuerteventura is affected by the eruption and is it safe here. Frankly, the eruption on La Palma is causing absolutely no problems here at all.
La Palma is 240 miles away from Fuerteventura to the west. There have been three significant eruptions in La Palma in the past 70 years as it is still a relatively young island. Fuerteventura however is the oldest of the Canary Islands and there hasn't been any volcanic activity here for at least 7000 years (that's 4000-5000 BC).
The wind is blowing any smoke from the volcano away from Fuerteventura as the prevailing wind here is NE.
So if you have a holiday here then don't worry. Come and have a great time.

I have been holidaying in Gran Canaria since 20th September (our first holiday abroad in what has been two very long years) and if I had not seen the news about the La Palma volcanic eruption before my flight here, I don't think I would even have known that there had been an eruption. Gran Canaria is 150 miles from La Palma and as with Fuerteventura, the eruption does not appear to have had any effect on Gran Canaria that I can detect. The same cannot be said for the unfortunate La Palma residents of course.

@@JPinFuerteventura aim that question to the European arrivals outside of blighty my friend! The island will take in international travellers whether like it or not and thus the issues of anything coming onto the islands you personally just can't control!! Nor when they occur or they don't!!

@iankwhite 3 года назад

Hi JP, The update useful, however let's point out islanders were told 3 days before the eruption that there would be no eruption so that was misinformed based on scientific judgement, secondly the island had experienced over a 1000 tremor's up to 3 days before. The FCO in England issued a warning. Judgement to travel by them was refer to a tour operator. There have been tremor's off the coast of fuerteventura which you do know about. And they are a lot closer! And as always the islands are aware that a major eruption could and I only say could cause a undercurrent of water ie a tsuarmi. These are facts. And are within the scope of the islands...are they not?? Sea defences on the island are low as the coastal areas are in places sloped. And of course everyone sadly years ago lost lives with the tsuarmi from Japan Thailand etc with natural occurances. My remarks are a mere balance of your's when we both know that we are not qualified to state on nature and predict when things may or not occur... Thousands lost lives...and of course finally those that dismissed the issues of COVID and deaths were sadly wrong! And of course folk were told to evacuate the islands and repatriate back to blighty when the Madrid authority shut down the Canaries and I was one of them and the anxiety and eventually 8 months later achievement of the travel insurance claim and associated activity to get it!!! So on balance be wise to expert opinions!!

Is the sea a bit wavey at the south of fuertaventura? And the weather? 😄 would love to mail with you or something or WhatsApp. Or just here on RU-vid what you prefere 👍

The sea on the east coast is generally quite calm. You will find bigger waves elsewhere in the south (Cofete and La Pared for example). You can find my email in the About section or message via my JP in Fuerteventura Facebook page.
