20의 안티구아가지 명소 & 주요 장소

The caves are among the oldest geological formations in the Canary Islands and served as a hideout for pirates in earlier times.

The church was built in 1410. The Iglesia de Santa María de Betancuria is often mistakenly considered the cathedral and thus the first bishopric in the Canary Islands. Antipope Benedict XIII was so impressed by a small chapel near Playa de los Papagayos on Lanzarote that he promptly declared it a cathedral, or bishopric, in 1404. Santa Maria de Bethancuria was burned down in 1593. It was not rebuilt until 1691, and it has survived in this form to this day.

Betancuria was founded in 1404 and served as the island's capital from then until 1834. Surrounded by mountains, this picturesque town lies in a valley in the interior of Fuerteventura, along the wonderful FV-30 mountain road. Beautiful white houses, several great restaurants and bars, and the Church of Santa Maria de Betancuria invite you to a pleasant stay. It's an absolute must-see when visiting the island.

A path leads from the beach to Caleta Negra (Black Bay), from where a steep staircase leads down to the caves. Tip: Wear sturdy shoes!

Stingrays and angel sharks, for example, live inside the caves. An overview of the cave formations can be obtained along a path up to the cliff.

The beach at Ajuy (“Playa de los Muertos”, translated as “Beach of the Dead”) once served as a landing place for pirate ships. The somewhat strange name of the bay can be traced back to the past pirate attacks that often took place along this coastal region. These were usually terrible massacres in which many locals lost their lives. Source: https://www.voucherwonderland.com/reisemagazin/fuerteventura-sehenswuerdigkeiten/

Wonderful beach. It's a great sight when the mostly high waves hit the deep black sand. However, caution is advised when swimming, as the surf is strong!
