This isn’t in El Cotillo, of course, but the Corralejo Carnival is worth going to see if you are staying in El Cotillo. The main carnival procession happens in evening of the last Saturday 3rd March. It takes some time to pass down the high street, perhaps 2 hours. It is reminiscent of the carnivals that used to take place in the UK during the 1960s.
The theme this year is “Retro Vintage”.
There are also many other entertainments that take place near the harbour in Corralejo during the week leading up to the procession.

We will publish the timetable of events when it is available.
I have been holidaying in Fuerteventura for over 30 years and first came to El Cotillo 17 years ago. I owned an apartment in El Cotillo for 10 years and now live with my wife, Sue, and dog, Jenson, just 5 miles away. El Cotillo is my favourite place in Fuerteventura.
