Steve and Ron's holiday experience.

Fuerteventura is not known as a very gay resort. Gran Canaria, Tenerife are "better" places for that. But even on Fuerte there is something going on for the not straight holidaymakers.

Entertainment:

There is a drag bar in Corralejo, which puts on a great show.

Its called Sadie’s': Fuerteventura's ONLY dragbar. Ex Pat entertainer Kenny Webster has made the island his home after turning his back on his home town in the UK. He was driven out of the Old Country by bullying that didn’t stop, even culminating in assault that hospitalised him. Now he is doing a drag show, for gay and not so gay guests. Corralejo is the place to be. (Sadies also hosts an anual charity event in August, "Imagine a better world". Raising money for several charities.)

Afterwards we went off to Bubbles. Officially a gay-bar at the Atlantico Centre in Corralejo, but fortunately you will find a mix of people having a good time together. The bar located in the basement, is trendy, with friendly staff, and great music. If you go there say hello to Juan and the guys (mentioning sunnyfuerteventura.com of course). NOTE: Juan of Bubbles was chosen Corralejo's Best Barmanager 2004-2005.

After too may drinks hop down to the Waikiki BeachBar, where at about five- thirty in the morning Frank Sinatra's New York New York will remind you there will soon be daylight again.

Is it still possible for you to walk (after the Waikiki) than stroll down the beach back to your hotel/apartment, if not, take a cab! They are always available, clean and very cheap. And the cab-drivers will never try to rip you off. By the way: we did not experience any crime whatsoever in Corralejo, a far cry from Amsterdam where we live.

General: drinking, eating and smoking is very cheap (No taxes), so for those who are addicted already when booking the trip, they'll have to do even more counselling when back home again.

Please note that since this was written Sadie aka Kenny Webster has sold Sadies and is currently performing a drag act and also prerforms as Kenny- King of Swing with a very entertaining act. He is touring the England and Ireland soon!
