If you fancy a taste of the authentic Fuerteventura, then this day out is for you. Pretty villages, smugglers' caves and beautiful scenery are all on the menu, along with an aloe vera plantation. To top it off, you'll get to sample some of the island's best delicacies at a goat farm. Yurena, one of our local guides, says, "We're very proud of our majorero goat cheese, it's a staple in our kitchens. Learn how it's pressed with woven palm leaves and rubbed with paprika or gofio flour for flavour."
Kick off at the aloe vera plantation and learn all about its reputed health benefits. Then discover the village of Pajara, famed for its unusual church façade and its wooden balconies. Fran says, "The inspiration behind the parish church's Aztec-themed portico remains a mystery. Just above the door, you'll see symbols of suns, serpents, lions and doves. And if you stop and take a closer look, you'll find many more."
Plus, there's free time in Ajuy, a fishing village that meets the ocean at a black volcanic sand beach. There's a lovely, scenic walk on chalk cliffs to limestone caves where smugglers once hid their contraband. Nestled in a valley dotted with palm trees is Betancuria, the island's first capital. Here, you'll have free time to explore the cobbled streets and its church – the oldest in the Canaries. After lunch in a family-run restaurant in Valle de Santa Ines, there's a visit to a farm. Sample majorero goat cheese, jams and other local specialities. A tasty way to round off the day.
