About this experience

Churches in Ajuy is a self-guided tour of the historic religious buildings in the small fishing village of Ajuy, on the west coast of Fuerteventura. The activity focuses on the Ermita de Nuestra Señora de la Regla, a 17th-century chapel built from local volcanic stone, and the adjacent parish church. Visitors can view the simple whitewashed interiors and the carved wooden altarpieces that reflect the island's traditional Canarian architecture.

What to expect

The tour covers two churches within a 200-metre radius of Ajuy's main square, taking approximately 30 minutes to complete on foot.
The Ermita de Nuestra Señora de la Regla houses a 17th-century wooden statue of the Virgin, which is carried in the village's annual September procession.
Visitors can examine the exterior walls made of dark basalt blocks, a construction style unique to this coastal settlement.
The parish church, Iglesia de San José, contains a single nave with a timber roof and a small side chapel dedicated to local fishermen.
The activity suits history enthusiasts and independent travellers who prefer exploring at their own pace without a guide.
Entry to both churches is free, and the buildings are open daily from 9:00 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 19:00, except during Sunday mass.
