The Old Heart of Fuerteventura

This is Betancuria. Tucked into a valley surrounded by arid, scrubby hills, this tiny settlement was actually the island’s capital for over 400 years.

We didn’t have much time to explore the town, but it was really nice. Somewhere you must visit if you’re in Fuerteventura.

Betancuria After the Rains

The recent rains in Fuerteventura have transformed the island. If you look at this location in Betancuria on Google Maps you’ll see a dusty field, and the street view shows mostly bare ground with bushes planted here and there.

In the background is La Casa del Queso where we enjoyed some coffee and sandwiches. Locals at the next table were served seemingly never-ending portions of food that just came out again and again from the kitchen, to be finished off by fresh oranges for dessert.
