Do you want to feel the strength of the elements? The bright sun, the dominant wind, the turquoise sea and the warm earth ... In Fuerteventura, the seasons are blurred to offer you a year-round climate and landscapes that are immobile in time. During this day trip you will find all the most varied pictures of the eastern islands of the archipelago. This will be enough to learn a little about the history of the islanders and their traditions, visit the main natural and cultural monuments, and ultimately spend a different day within your vacation period. Keep reading to know the details!
What will we get to know?
The aborigines of the island were organized into two large kingdoms to the north and south of the island: Maxorata and Jandía. We will visit both, appreciating each corner that they offer us. Thus, we will make a stop in the old capital, the city of Betancuria, founded by the French in the first expedition to the Canary Islands, in 1404. This place is protected by a mountainous environment difficult to find on an island as low as it is Fuerteventura. It dates from the same date of the foundation, the beautiful church of Santa María de Betancuria, a building that has endured stoically the passage of time. Finally, we can not miss the stop at the viewpoint of the city to take some photographs. There the statues of almost five meters that represent the leaders of the two great kingdoms await us: Ayose and Guise.
Although the island does not have exuberant vegetation, agriculture has remained thanks to the ingenious techniques that peasants apply to cultivate in the arid grounds. These efforts are worthy of admiration and the quality of the products made with the fruits of this land will surprise you pleasantly. That is why we will visit the towns of Antigua and Pájara. Then, in addition, we will enjoy the sunset at La Fortaleza restaurant. Following the coast we will take a break on the exotic white sand beach of Sotavento, where we can relax in its calm turquoise waters.
This part of the route is designed for lovers of the purest nature. We will visit the Natural Park of Corralejo, whose golden sand dunes create the perfect scenery to take incredible photographs. However, we will not forget the picturesque Valle de las Palmeras, a place that could have been the setting for Hollywood movies; or the mountain of Tindaya, the most sacred symbol of the island. It is not surprising that the island of Fuerteventura is often the cover of travel guides, because it offers really memorable spaces, unique in the world. You will have to come and see for yourself!
