Clothing
In the dining rooms of the best hotels and finest restaurants require a dress code, ie long pants and shirt for men and stylish apparel for women. A practical clothing and casual is accepted almost everywhere else, and since tourism is such an important role in Fuerteventura, this applies not only to the seaside resorts, but also for the rest of the island. The only exceptions are the churches, which require a certain composure, even if you ultimately begin to tolerate even the shorts and sleeveless shirts. ln general, summer clothing is good throughout the year, although in the cooler months (October to June) should bring at least a pair of long pants, a sweater and a lightweight waterproof jacket for the wind. Very rarely you'll need an umbrella or rainwear.
Drinking water
The tap water comes from the plant and desalination, as it often remains for a while 'in the tanks, not' and considered safe from the hygienic point of view. For this reason, hotels undergoes intense chemical treatment and then it can certainly be used to brush your teeth, but for food is certainly better to use mineral water imported, available in supermarkets in 5 liter containers, even if these latter are rather uncomfortable to carry.
Account at the restaurant
When you go to a restaurant with family and friends, including the Spanish tend to ask for a single account. For this reason, if you travel in a group and you want to pay every man for himself, separate accounts should be requested from the moment of ordination, especially in places frequented mostly by locals. Only in this way you can be sure that the individual amounts will be calculated at the counter, otherwise it is assumed that there will come a single account, certainly more complicated to manage.
Duty-free
The Canary Islands still remain within the European Union, the status of a free trade area. For this reason in many windows of Jandia Playa and Corralejo you see advertisements for special offers duty-free. the proposed products ranging from electronics to cameras, from cosmetics to perfumes. lVla attention! Not everything is really cheaper, and, quealt), you should already have an idea of prices. In addition, many goods are not covered by warranty and especially electronic items do not always meet safety standards.
Time zone
The Canary Islands are located in the Western European Time, which is one hour behind the Central dell'Eutopa countries, both in summer (here it is in use daylight saving) and winter.
Hygiene
There is no reason to go overboard with the precautions you can eat at the table and calmly fruit and raw vegetables. The ice is usually served with drinks produced by the rules of food hygiene. If the terrible "Montezuma's revenge" were to befall you, however, there may be useful to have a glass of Coca Cola at room temperature conmolto sugar and a bit 'of salt, some saltine or a banana (plantain).
