Description
Corralejo is a family-friendly coastal town in the municipality of La Oliva, on the island of Fuerteventura.
The area gets an average of 9 hours of sunshine a day. Strong wind is common here, a well-known trait of the area (and a draw for kite/windsurf fans). Sea-salt exposure is high given the proximity to the ocean, so slightly more maintenance is worth budgeting for.
Fibre-optic broadband is already confirmed here, a real plus for remote workers.
For La Oliva we use a reference of €3.214/m², based on official Spanish government valuation data (MIVAU). For a typical home in the area, that works out to around €289.233 to buy, or roughly €1.085/month to rent.

What it's like to live in Corralejo
Corralejo lies on the northern slope of Fuerteventura, the one facing the trade winds head-on. It's the windward side: the Atlantic's moist air hits the relief and drops much of its humidity there, so there's more cloud cover at mid-altitude, more rain spread through the year, and a noticeably greener landscape than the south of the island. With an average of 9,0 hours of sunshine a day, it's worth expecting overcast days especially in winter, and higher ambient humidity than people expect when they arrive looking only for beach weather.
Corralejo belongs to the municipality of La Oliva, which has 30.022 residents across its whole area. It's a large municipality by Canary Islands standards, with full services, regular public transport and a housing market with constant activity, both for sale and rent.
In the immediate surroundings of Corralejo is Monumento al Marinero, La mujer del pescador, Art Gallery and Diving Center Mar y Mas, a useful landmark for getting your bearings before visiting the area.
Within walking distance of the area's centre, 12 schools, 3 health centres, 5 pharmacies, 10 supermarkets and 108 restaurants have been found, according to open OpenStreetMap data. This is an indicative and always conservative count: it reflects what's been mapped, which in smaller towns tends to fall short of what's actually there.

How to read these figures
Every figure on this page describes what living here is like all year round, not just on holiday. Here is what each one means:
- Sunshine hours
- Average daily sunshine. More sun means more natural light indoors, lower heating bills and better output if you fit solar panels.
- Wind
- The prevailing strength in the area. Light means comfortable terraces and outdoor living all year; strong is excellent for wind sports, but you feel it day to day.
- Salt air
- The influence of the sea. High means more upkeep for façades, windows, railings and vehicles. Low preserves the property better over time.
- Altitude
- The higher you go, the cooler the nights, the drier the air and the less salt. At coastal level temperatures are steadier and milder.
- Fibre optic
- Coverage recorded in the area. Decisive if you work remotely; worth confirming street by street before you sign.
- Reference price
- The official appraised value per m² applied to a reference-sized property. It is a statistical figure for the area so you can compare, NOT the price of any specific property.
