Jandía, a natural park with a difference
The south of Fuerteventura features wild mountains and idyllic beaches

When Miguel de Unamuno arrived on Fuerteventura, exiled by the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, he remarked that the scorched land resembled a skeleton model of the mainland. After several months in his new home, Don Miguel learned to look at Fuerteventura with different eyes and began to acknowledge his deep seated affection for the moors that had reminded him so much of certain parts of Castile. In the south of the second largest Canary island, there is a natural park which shows the vivid and wild side of the island, coloured by the ochre tone that characterises the natural landscape of Maxorata (the ancient name of the island). Jandía, with its bare mountains and idyllic beaches, is a special place where it is easy to lose yourself among the wild beauty of this pure island

Cofete beach (Fuerteventura)
Behind the more touristy side of Fuerteventura lie some of the most spectacular beaches in the Canaries Islands. Cofete is one of the archipelago's largest beaches (officially 13.7 kilometres in length according to the official measurements given by Ministry of the Environment), and, in addition, is a unique area offering beautiful natural surroundings together with an air of mystery.

The podomorfos of the Tindaya Mountain: footsteps leading to heaven
The Tindaya Mountain has been traditionally associated with esoteric and ritualistic worship relating to witchcraft. The 'majoreros' (the people of Fuerteventura) still remember the old stories of rituals and faiths that were celebrated in times long gone. The footprints in the sacred stone speak of a past in which a proud race populated an inhospitable island.
