Contigo Tuineje proposes Christmas campaign to support local shops and producers

Contigo Tuineje has formally asked Tuineje council to launch a Christmas shopping campaign. It would support shops, restaurants and local producers across the council area on Fuerteventura.

The proposed campaign, «Yo compro productos de Tuineje», would encourage residents to shop locally. It would also aim to attract shoppers from elsewhere on the island. It would cover Gran Tarajal, Tuineje village and the other villages in the council area.

The campaign is not yet confirmed. As reported on 5 November 2026, it remains a proposal submitted to the council’s governing group. Whether it goes ahead depends on the council’s response and any decisions that follow.

Proposed link with island shopping vouchers

Contigo Tuineje wants the campaign to start soon. It would run alongside the fifth edition of «Yo Compro en Fuerteventura – Bono Consumo 2026». Voucher sales for that island-wide scheme are due to begin on 10 November 2026.

The group wants shoppers to use the vouchers at businesses taking part in the island scheme. It also aims to draw more attention to local shops and restaurants.

Local cheese, meat, fish, fruit and vegetables would also feature. The campaign would promote these products through neighbourhood shops, direct sales and council markets. This would involve farmers, livestock producers and the fishing sector.

What shoppers could see if it goes ahead

The proposal has three main parts. Videos and digital content would introduce local businesses and producers. Signs would identify businesses taking part and products sourced locally. Open-air shopping areas would host events during the busiest weekends. These would include cultural activities, live music and children’s entertainment.

Contigo Tuineje says it is willing to help design and develop the campaign. It has asked the council for a swift response. This would allow businesses and producers to benefit before the busiest part of the Christmas shopping season.
