For solo travelers or those who don't want to rent a car, a pre-booked airport transfer to your resort can be the easiest and cheapest option.

A transfer from the airport to Jandia can be obtained from € 15, a saving of around € 85 compared to the same taxi trip.

Internet network

The presence of ultra-fast internet has only spread in recent years, Corralejo, Puerto del Rosario and Morro Jable were among the first to receive fiber up to 600 MB.
