Here are 10 unforgettable plans that will allow you to discover Fuerteventura beyond its beaches:
1. Explore the Ajuy Caves
Ajuy is a small charming fishing village known for its spectacular caves and black sand beach. The path leading to the caves offers incredible views of the ocean and volcanic landscape. It’s a unique experience on the island.
2. Visit Betancuria, the oldest town in Fuerteventura
Located in the heart of the island, Betancuria was its former capital and retains a charming colonial atmosphere. Strolling through its cobbled streets, visiting the church of Santa María, or dining on a terrace with views is an ideal plan for a peaceful morning.
3. Hike up the Calderón Hondo Volcano
