In the book I am reading currently (la reina del sur), I often come across expressions such as requetelejos, requetelindo, and I assume this means very far, very beautiful. Am I correct? The dictionaries do not help much in this case.

Sí, correcto. Re, reque, and requete are prefixes that mean very, or extremely. - gr8rubs, DIC 26, 2015

re-/reque-/requete- are prefixes that mean very or extremely. Caro means expensive so recaro, or requecaro, or requetecaro mean very or extremely expensive.

The word requires a hyphen and is "requete-". It is more of a prefix. 1,000,000 is super bigger than 0. I used the dictionary on this web site. La palabra require un guion y es requete-. Es más de un prefixio. 1,000,000 es requetegrande de 0. ¡Usé el dictionado de SpanishDict.com!

Is there any more context you could give? Like maybe a sentence or phrase where you found this word? Just a thought to help and also have you tried the translator and/or dictionary on this site? It almost looks like a derivative of the verb "requerir" meaning "to require" or "to demand" but I don't know the context.
