20의 푸에르토 델 로사리오가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Church in the small village

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.

The Parque rural Castillo de Lara is located in the Barranco de los Charcos. A "charco" is a backwater, a very small one, as it can also mean "puddle". A riverbed can be seen to the south of the valley. In it lie the countless "charcos" that hold back rainwater and distribute it to the surrounding Gavias. When it rains on Fuerteventura, it rains heavily. The trick is to keep the water on the island and not let it flow unused into the Atlantic.

Unfortunately, there are not many pine trees left in the area.

Nice rest area 💪 Barbecue is possible

Very nice and easy route to drive.
