The Old Heart of Fuerteventura

February 17, 2026

·

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.
