How do I get to Gran Tarajal by bus?

The Cabildo de Fuerteventura (the island government) is adding buses on lines 01 and 16. The extra service runs on both festival days.

Outbound buses leave Puerto del Rosario (line 16) and Morro Jable (line 01) at 20:00, 20:30, 22:00 and 22:30. Anyone travelling from the south of the island takes line 01.

Buses return from Gran Tarajal at 21:00, 21:30, 01:00, 02:00, 03:00, 04:00 and 04:30. These times apply to both lines, to Puerto del Rosario and to Morro Jable.

Departures after midnight fall on 7 and 8 November. Juan Magán and Lauta start only at 01:45, so the 01:00 bus leaves before they play.

Last year the late return buses left at 21:00, 21:30, 02:00, 02:30, 04:00 and 04:30. This year there are five departures after midnight, one more, while the outbound times are unchanged.

What do the buses cost, and what are the rules on board?

According to the announcement, the special runs add to the regular bus service. Normal tickets and the Bono ticket (transport credit) are valid too.

Suitcases, food and drink are not allowed on board. If you are staying at a hotel in the south, leave your luggage in the room.

The Cabildo gave no fares in euros. No Cabildo document with the times was available by Friday, so the details come from the announcement.

The regular timetables, including the stop at Gran Tarajal's central bus station, are on tiadhe.com. Check the departure times there before you travel.

What is on during the day on Saturday?

The daytime programme, Arena Negra de Día, features NIA, Kilombo Improvisado, Andrea Rodríguez y la Banda del Trópico, ContraVentura and Timbeque. The main evening stage stands on the dark sandy beach, right by the sea.

The organisers gave no individual set times. Last year the daytime programme ran from 12:00 to 18:00.

The festival's host is Mariam Hernández. The actress was born on Fuerteventura.

Where can festival-goers stay overnight?

There is a rest and camping zone at the Ciudad Deportiva de El Palmeral in Gran Tarajal. Minors may enter only with an adult.

Booking is through a link in the Cultura Fuerteventura profile description on social media. The announcement mentions 20 euros twice, once as the pitch price and once as a deposit refunded at the end.

The announcement contradicts itself on which of the two applies, so ask when you book. The rules for using the zone have not been published.

Who organises the festival, and what is still open?

The organiser is the culture department of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura, together with the Canary Islands government and the Ayuntamiento (town council) of Tuineje. Cajasiete and the La Gavia association are further partners.

At the launch on 21 August, Cabildo president Lola García called the festival “a tool for economic revival for Fuerteventura”. No budget was given.

Ticket prices, ticket sales and entry rules for the beach are not known. Traffic and parking measures in Gran Tarajal have not been published either.

The Cabildo has not yet given visitor numbers for 2026, and no date for them is set. In 2025 Miguel Ríos, Antonio Orozco, Guaynaa and Abraham Mateo played.
