Betancuria - Cathedral de Santa Maria
Betancuria is a pretty litte village in the heart of Fuerteventura.
Unlike many of the interior villages, this one is particularly well geared up for tourists: the Cathedral de Santa Maria is a 17th century church re-built from Norman times, and unusually, has a number of altars. It sits in a pretty square, with palm trees to cool you down from the heat of the sun. Around it has sprung a host of opportunities to buy island souvenirs, eat a meal or have a cool drink. We spotted some very exclusive-looking restaurants, including a Michelin starred one around the square and plenty of others on the main road. Here, you can also buy products made on the island, such as lace, cheese and honey.
Its a really quaint, pretty spot, well worth a day trip. NEXT ->
