Norman explorer <strong>Jean de B\u00e9thencourt<\/strong> founded it in <strong>1404<\/strong>, choosing an inland valley shielded by mountains to protect it from pirate raids on the coast. This is why the town bears its founder's name, and it was for centuries the capital of all <strong>Fuerteventura<\/strong> \u2014 and of <strong>Canary Islands<\/strong> \u2014 until <strong>1834<\/strong>. Today it is one of the most historic towns in the archipelago and is on the list of <strong>The Most Beautiful Villages of Spain<\/strong>. In addition, the <strong>91% of its territory<\/strong> is within <strong>Parque Rural de Betancuria<\/strong>, making it one of the best-protected natural environments in the islands. Check the <a href=\"https:\/\/canariaslife.com\/en\/webcams-of-fuerteventura\/\">live cameras of Fuerteventura<\/a> and check the weather in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-2ecc9880 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canariaslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/betancuria-fuerteventura-casco-historico-iglesia.jpg\" alt=\"Betancuria Fuerteventura, historic centre with the Iglesia de Santa Mar\u00eda and white houses\" class=\"uag-image-172472\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2048\" title=\"Betancuria (Fuerteventura, Spain), Iglesia de Santa Mar\u00eda\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-la-iglesia-de-santa-maria-y-el-casco-historico\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Iglesia de Santa Mar\u00eda and the historic centre<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Iglesia de Santa Mar\u00eda de Betancuria<\/strong> is the municipality's most important building and one of the oldest in <strong>Canary Islands<\/strong>. Its origins go back to <strong>1410<\/strong>, when <strong>Jean de B\u00e9thencourt<\/strong> ordered the temple built in French Gothic style. In <strong>1593<\/strong>, Berber pirates under the arr\u00e1ez Xab\u00e1n razed the town and destroyed the church. The rebuilding took several decades and gave it the appearance it has today. Inside it holds a Baroque altarpiece, murals of great value, several 17th-century religious images and the banners captured during the pirate invasion. For all this, it was declared a <strong>Cultural Heritage of Interest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The historic centre surrounding the church was declared a <strong>Historical Ensemble<\/strong> in <strong>1979<\/strong>. Its cobbled streets, white houses with wooden doors and main square form one of the best-preserved historic centres in the archipelago. On the outskirts of the centre are also the ruins of the <strong>Convento de San Buenaventura<\/strong>, founded in <strong>1416<\/strong> by the Franciscan friars who accompanied the conquerors. Only the stone structure remains, but the atmosphere it creates among the ravines of the rural park is very evocative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-el-museo-arqueologico-y-etnografico\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Museo Arqueol\u00f3gico y Etnogr\u00e1fico<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Museo Arqueol\u00f3gico y Etnogr\u00e1fico de Betancuria<\/strong> is a must-stop for understanding the history of <strong>Fuerteventura<\/strong> before and after the conquest. Its rooms hold ceramics, tools and objects of the <strong>mahos<\/strong> \u2014 the island's indigenous people \u2014 alongside panels explaining their social organisation, culture and relationship with the land. The museum also devotes space to majorero ethnography after the conquest, with everyday objects, costumes and farming tools. The visit is short but very thorough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-el-mirador-de-morro-velosa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Mirador de Morro Velosa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Mirador de Morro Velosa<\/strong>, designed by <strong>C\u00e9sar Manrique<\/strong>, is one of the viewpoints with the best views in all of <strong>Fuerteventura<\/strong>. It sits at almost <strong>700 meters high<\/strong> above the <strong>Parque Rural de Betancuria<\/strong>. From there you can see mountains, valleys and much of the north of the island in a single glance. The viewpoint is presided over by two large bronze statues of <strong>Guise y Ayose<\/strong>, the last two indigenous kings of <strong>Fuerteventura<\/strong>, the work of Lanzarote-born sculptor <strong>Emiliano Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>. It is therefore a stop of cultural as well as scenic value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-e0c8cd03 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canariaslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/betancuria-fuerteventura-mirador-morro-velosa-estatuas.webp\" alt=\"Betancuria Fuerteventura, statues of Guise y Ayose at the Mirador de Morro Velosa\" class=\"uag-image-172473\" width=\"1200\" height=\"840\" title=\"betancuria-fuerteventura-mirador-morro-velosa-estatuas\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-vega-de-rio-palmas-y-la-virgen-de-la-pena\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vega de R\u00edo Palmas and the Virgen de la Pe\u00f1a<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Vega de R\u00edo Palmas<\/strong> is the municipality's greenest settlement and one of the most photogenic in the interior of <strong>Fuerteventura<\/strong>. Its palm trees, small reservoir and the red rock walls of the <strong>Barranco de las Pe\u00f1itas<\/strong> create a landscape very different from the arid coast. In the village stands the <strong>Ermita de Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de la Pe\u00f1a<\/strong>, which holds the image of the patron saint of <strong>Fuerteventura<\/strong>: an alabaster carving barely 23 centimetres tall. According to legend, friar Juan de Santorcaz found it hidden in the Barranco de Malpaso during the conquest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every year, on the third Saturday of September, pilgrims from across the island descend to <strong>Vega de R\u00edo Palmas<\/strong> in a romer\u00eda to honour the Virgin. It is one of the most popular and participatory religious celebrations in <strong>Fuerteventura<\/strong>. Trails also set off from the village towards the Barranco de las Pe\u00f1itas, one of the most spectacular in the municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-senderismo-y-parque-rural-de-betancuria\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiking and the Parque Rural de Betancuria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Parque Rural de Betancuria<\/strong> covers more than 90% of the municipal area and offers a landscape of mountains, ravines and native vegetation very different from the coast of <strong>Fuerteventura<\/strong>. Its trails are among the least crowded on the island, letting you walk peacefully among cardones, tabaibas and pines. The route to the <strong>Barranco de las Pe\u00f1itas<\/strong>, with its reddish walls and reservoir, is the most popular. Meanwhile, the route to the <strong>Mirador de Guise y Ayose<\/strong> draws cyclists and hikers every day who climb up from the valley for altitude and views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-gastronomia-en-betancuria\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gastronomy in Betancuria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The municipality's restaurants serve traditional majorero cuisine with ingredients from the island's interior. The <strong>majorero cheese<\/strong> with <strong>Appellation of Origin<\/strong> is the star product: made from majorero goat's milk, it can be tasted fresh, semi-cured or cured at the village's tascas. In addition, around Betancuria there are farms where you can watch the cheese being made live. The <strong>wrinkled potatoes<\/strong> with <strong>mojo<\/strong>, the <strong>baifo<\/strong> kid goat, <strong>watercress stew<\/strong> and traditional pastries round out an honest, locally sourced gastronomic offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-42ea1247 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/canariaslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/betancuria-fuerteventura-vega-rio-palmas-ermita.jpg\" alt=\"Betancuria Fuerteventura, Vega de R\u00edo Palmas with the Ermita de la Virgen de la Pe\u00f1a\" class=\"uag-image-172474\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1514\" title=\"Central Fuerteventura, Barranco de las Pe\u00f1itas\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-como-llegar-a-betancuria\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get to Betancuria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Betancuria<\/strong> is in the central-west of <strong>Fuerteventura<\/strong>, about 25 kilometres from <strong>Puerto del Rosario<\/strong> via the FV-30 (approximately 30 minutes by car).

The municipality is inland with no motorway access, so the road is a winding mountain one. A private car is recommended, as public transport is very limited.
