The access to caves when the tide is low is quite something. The beach is good and the sunsets are awesome. Getting there by car is not a problem.

Friday 13th November and we came across this is a scenic view point, on the top of Morro de la Cruz, while driving from Valle de Santa Ines to Betancuria. The road leading up to the Mirador is blocked with a barrier across it, however, there is limited parking in front of the barrier. Ignore the opening times displayed, they are wrong, sadly the Mirador is permanently closed. It is possible to walk up the road to where the Mirador is. It is a good 20 minute walk up steep road to the top. Previously the building was boarded up, but this has been removed, ripped down, so it was possible to walk around the Mirador and its verandas and experience the incredible views From here we got amazing views of the northern area of the island with an artist's palette of colour. We also could see the dunes as far as Corralejo along with the villages of el Cotillo, La Oliva and Antigua. We did walk a few extra metres to the top of the mountain, Morro de la, Cruz, which is at 676 metres above sea level It is disappointing that the mirador building is closed, however, it is still possible to enjoy the views, so definitely worth the effort of the walk up After our visit checked out the meaning of mirador, which is a turret or tower attached to a building and providing an extensive view.

Pajara is a lovely little town full of trees which makes it stand out from the other towns in the area. Also the church which is built in the simple local style is very different as it has an amazing door and surround, decorated in Aztec symbols and also the interior is stunning. Allow time for your eyes to accustom to the darkness! The highly ornate back wall with lots of gold leaf and the black virgin is beautiful.

Friday 13th November and we visited the historic and old capital of Fuerteventura. No visit to the Town Betancuria is complete without a visit to the beautiful old church. From the moment we entered the church we were captivated. Walking along the old stone floor, which led us to the magnificent main altar screen (reredos) at the rear of the Church. It reaches high up to the wooden beamed ceiling, it is ornately carved, painted gold and red, adorned with religious images and statues with a large crucifixion image at the top, stunning. To the left of the main altar is another altar which is equally as amazing. Make sure to visit the sacristy on the left hand side of the altar. Where old vestments, statues and regalia are on display. The ornate ceiling, with its red and gold paint, is astoundingly beautiful, has to be seen. The ceiling tops the walls that have colourful religious images painted on them. There are a number of statues dotted around the Church. Towards the rear of the Church take a look up at intricate woodwork in the ceiling. There is an entrance fee of €1.50 per person to the enter the Church. Photography is permitted but no flash. The Church does need a bit of restoration work in places, this does not detract from how beautiful it is here. In July 2019 the Church was declared to be an Asset of Cultural Interest by the government of the Canary Islands.

Maintaining the most ingrained customs, the sea foam of this natural environment is transformed as before in the salt offered by the museum shop. Get to know this old salt exploitation and discover the importance of salt in Fuerteventura.

Lovely little museum which tells the story of salt production and it’s importance. Knowledgeable friendly staff and very interesting! You may even get chance to spot some lizards and chipmunks. 6€ entry too which is a bargain!

Some information beforehand: the hermitage can't be visited on your own, and singly, but is part of a complex, the so called "complejo cultural y patrimonial de La Ampuyenta". This complex consists of - the hospital de San Conrado y San Gaspar - the church "Ermita de San Pedro Alcántara" - la casa Dr. Mena, the doctor's house, and - la casa de fray Anfresito, a locally famous Francescan monk who was born here. The hospital is open and can be toured on your own (not much to see there, anyway), and houses the reception desk. The other buildings are scattered over the village, are closed, and can only be visited on a guided tour. There are no entry or tour fees. My wife and I saw this complex mentioned in our guidebook and decided to visit in on a Saturday, in time for the advertised guided tour on 11:30 pm. We were a little early and met a friendly lady at the reception desk in the hosptal, The conversation was a little halting, because my Spanish is not so hot, and she didn't speak either English or German. Asked for the tour, she took her bunch of keys and motioned us to follow. First we saw the church, with a really wonderful interior. Looks like stucco, but is just painted! As we could not have followed explanatiions in Spanish, we made do with our guidebook. Next stage was the doctor's house, down the street, with interesting local architecture, and completely furnished. Last came Fray Andresito's birthplace, a one-room-house with the story of the life of Fray Andresito. There, our friendly guide left us, and wouldn't even accept a tip. My conclusion: it's definitely worth a visit, but be prepared for surprises, like the other visitors described. When nobody shows up for some time, the sole attendant may be guiding some visitors
