Honestly, the time difference in Fuerteventura is the easiest one you’ll ever deal with. It’s not like jetting off to New York, where you lose five hours and feel like a zombie. It’s not like Thailand, where you arrive at midnight local time but your body screams it’s 5pm. No, this is a gentle nudge, a friendly wink from the universe.
You can still watch the 9pm BBC News if you really want to (though why would you?). You can call your grandparents without waking them up. And when you come back to the UK, the hour shift going home barely registers. You’re tired from the holiday, not the time zone.
So next time you’re preparing for a trip to Fuerteventura, don’t stress about the clocks. Just remember: in winter, it’s your friend. In summer, it’s a cheeky one-hour tease. Embrace it, set an alarm for breakfast, and enjoy not having to do any complicated maths. Your brain will thank you – and so will your tan.
