Fuerteventura West Coast Tour with Betancuria and Tiscamanita Windmill
Fuerteventura's deserted west is the star of this full day excursion. Discover a remote fishing village, visit historic Betancuria and drop into a traditional windmill for a gofio tasting session. Fran, one of our local guides, says, “Gofio has been part of our diet for centuries. Made from toasted grains and ground using traditional methods, it's still a staple in many Canarian kitchens today – simple, nourishing and deeply rooted in our culture.”The first stop is in Ajuy, where the waves almost lap against the homes of fishermen. It's got a black volcanic beach and there's a scenic walk along chalk cliffs to sea caves. Drive inland next through arid landscapes and traditional villages centred on colonial churches – it's like stepping back in time. We'll stop in Valle de Santa Inés to visit a family-run restaurant for a typical Canarian lunch made from locally sourced ingredients.In the afternoon, head deep into the western hills, stopping at Las Peñitas viewpoint along the way, before reaching Betancuria. Founded as the island's capital by Jean de Béthencourt, it's now a peaceful village. Admire the historic Church of Santa Maria, a fine example of colonial religious architecture. Our final stop is at the windmill in Tiscamanita, where you'll discover how gofio is traditionally made – and enjoy a tasting of this much-loved local staple.
