To all forumer's

If my posting regarding the rats in the bunkers/pots on the beaches has offended anyone, for this I apologise. I never intended my posting to be seen as a negative posting for Fuerteventura. We have been coming to this island now several times a year for well over 20 years and until the last 12 months or so we have never experienced them. It was meant purely as a health warning especially for parents with children.
I will ask admin to delete the posting.

Two persons.

It seems strange referring to you as Two persons when I personally know most of the people on this forum. I just wanted to point out the fact that your opinon is  as valid as the next persons is. I am sorry that you felt the need to delete it. That is not what Forums are about at all. We all need to be able to freely express our views  and be respected for doing so, and your post was  very educational and so be proud of it. It would be a boring world if everyone just conformed to what is expected and just posted good news.  Keep posting and enjoy the Forum.

Hope you enjoyed the vino tonight. I am having a nice chilled Chardonnay as I type.




.....we do love to have a good debate on here

   Dont delete it, it was an important post and needs to remain. People, especially, with kids do need to know these things, which are relevant to just about every beach everywhere in the world..Thanks

You put your "Brave Hat" on yesterday Glen!

[moonraker]

I have been following this thread and the Health warning/ Rats thread which has now been deleted.
I agree with you Voldermort and you Fifi this posting shouldn't have been deleted. It is a forum for both
the good and the bad aspects of Fuerteventura. If there is a problem then it should be addressed not brushed under the carpet. Rats are a major problem world wide for everyone. People with children should be warned of the dangers of using the stone pots on the beaches.

If you are reading this Two persons you should put your post back on again it is relevant!!

I´ve been here nearly 20 years and NEVER seen a Rat (Rodent) in a bunker. There, is that Positive 

I´ve seen a few rats around bins at the backs of certain Restaurants in Caleta though  (names withheld)

You don't expect to find one in a Surrey hospital, but..........

So let's get the "rat thing" in perspective!

[Two Persons]

Hi Woe,

So you have been here nearly 20 years and not seen a rat in the bunkers, maybe you should go to spec savers!! lol.......

Do you remember Arnie the German chap who used to live in a bunker on flag beach from late Sept through til late April early May, well a couple who used that bunker after it was cleaned out when he left in 2010 saw 2 rats living in there. We also saw the rats in there and they were not small ones.... Rats were also spotted in a couple of other bunkers on that same beach. In 2011 we were on the beach south of the Riu hotels where Reynaldo's beach cafe is and again rats were spotted in the bunkers there.  Again this year whilst back on the same beach talking to some friends a rat ran across the opening into their bunker. Friends have just returned from Corralejo and have seen rats in the bunkers on the dunes.  The small foot prints you see in the bunkers if you get to the beach early enough in the mornings are rats. We stupidly thought they were lizzards when we first started using the bunkers, couldn't believe our eye's when we saw rats!!!

Anyway yet again I originally posted this to warn people of the health implications, especially family's with small children.

I know that this is not a positive posting but people do need to be warned. Fuerteventura is a lovely place, warts and all and we will still visit as often as we can.....

I have been visiting Fuerteventura for about 11 years and have a house there and really love it, though I know it has negatives as well as positives. I like to read the forum everyday (sad I know) but lately there seem to be more negative postings. I'm really not getting at anyone but it just makes me a little sad.Two persons, I understand your warning and I agree with you but it did get added to a bit!!!! There are a lot of people who's livelihood depends on tourism and things are hard enough as it is.

God forgive us that people should add things on postings, whatever next will there be a landing on Mars soon

Unfortunately the negatives go with the positives Glenys .
Its only fair people see both sides for anything not just fuerty.
I actually think for one the advise about the rats were very important and needed saying.
Ive been going fuerty now for 20 years and i have to say its nowhere near what it was and that includes the "gimme your euros lot"  Personally im off elsewhere for holidays, to where the people who run businesses  are nicer , respectful and are grateful for your custom. 
IMO when the businesses in fuerty learn this the better fuerty will be once again.
But if I for one after 20 years take my euros elsewhere then there must be many more also .
In effect if this is the case then i only see poor old fuerty getting poorer and going downhill fast.
Lastly i know people who have bought and live there and understand the problems and wish you all the best but unfortunately the money men of fuerty want your euros but don't want you. In my book that's racism!!
Sorry but needed saying, freedom of speech and all that, you cant just post nice things just because it suits!!. All the best.

I seen a dirty rat in a bunker once in Fuerteventura. He kicked the ball out when he tought nobody was looking.

[ZappaRocks]

It must be a better idea to have someone to read the truth here and be forewarned than suffer from ignorance and do worse by word of mouth.

The number of times I've seen a business slagged off only to be defended by many more which then shows that the original poster might be the problem and not their experience, though granted some maybe just unlucky (eg a bad meal)

It's ironic that so-called money men here are highlighted when the real money men who stripped a whole economy are in the UK which have affected this island more than anyone here.

Well that stirred things up a bit didn't it......

I didn't refer to two persons posting at all and would like to say I quite agree it was a genuine warning and SHOULD have been posted on here. So Admin could you please re-post it. I always like a good debate and certainly got a good one going here. I am a great believer in free speech and do it all the time.
Butchbuildersinc, I'm sorry about your bad experiences in Fuerteventura but I hope you have a great holiday wherever you go. 
dagwood....loved your posting,it did make me chuckle.

Hi glenys
Its not bad experiences ive had in fuerty its a lovely tranquil place . Its the attitude of the spanish thats really done it for me. ie: smile for your euros and call you blind if you dont spend with them lol
Still its their loss and someone elses gain i guess .
I fancied a change anyway this year so im off to singapore and australia in october and november, and in 3 weeks im off to Skegness for a week in a 9 berth cartavan with kids and grandkids lol, in a funny way im looking forward to that most of all.

[glenys]

butchbuildersinc. That sounds like a fabulous holiday but I'm sure you will have a fantastic time with all your family too. Caravan holiday's are just the best.....have a lovely time.

I thought this was a forum about Fuerteventura, with all its good and bad points. Nowhere on earth is perfect.

[suendrob]

By lunchtime tomorrow we'll be at El Caleton for a week, before moving on to Infiniti for another week. When we get back we'll have plenty of positive postings to share.

If you see us on the beach, do come and say Hi. You can't miss us!!!

[Paddster]
