Betancuria, Fuerteventura: What to See in the Old Capital
Betancuria is Fuerteventura's tiny former capital, folded into an inland valley of ochre crags. Visit for the church of Santa María, the Guise viewpoint, a three-room archaeology museum and a long lunch of Canarian cooking.
Corralejo Dunes: Visiting Fuerteventura's Sand Dunes
The Corralejo dunes are the pale sand belt of the Parque Natural de Corralejo in north Fuerteventura, with more than 10 km of beach along its edge. Here is how to reach them by car or bus, which beaches to pick, what to bring and how to shoot the sand without damaging it.
Lobos Island, Fuerteventura: Ferry, Permit and What to See
Lobos Island is a small, uninhabited natural park two kilometres off northern Fuerteventura, reached by a short boat crossing from Corralejo. You need an access permit arranged ahead, and a few hours ashore covers the beach, the paths and the small village.
Montaña de Tindaya, Fuerteventura: What You Can and Can't Do
Montaña de Tindaya is a red-rock hill above the village of Tindaya in the municipality of La Oliva, protected for the foot-shaped petroglyphs carved into its rock. You cannot walk up it, so plan a short stop to see it from the approach road and pair it with Calderón Hondo or the Villaverde windmills.
