Simon, your backyard, unspoiled by man, is beautiful.
My decision to move to Fuerteventura came after a WT talk on how the speaker imagined "paradise earth" to be and the picture he was painting was not my idea of paradise at all. My idea of paradise was the golden sands and aqua seas of my recent holiday.
I decided I didn't want to wait for Armageddon and when I found out moving there I could be mortgage free and have a swimming pool and money for a brand new car and a whole year before i needed to find a job a For Sale sign was erected in our front garden and I car booted and ebayed everything we weren't taking in a suitcase.
9 weeks after my holiday we landed in El Matoral, me, 2 young children, 14 suitcases and a bike!
£750 worth of excess baggage. Lol
A decision I will never regret.
