Churches in Betancuria is a guided walking tour of the historic religious buildings in Betancuria, the former capital of Fuerteventura. The route includes the 17th-century Iglesia de Santa María de Betancuria and the smaller Ermita de San Diego, set within the island's oldest settlement. Visitors see restored altarpieces, carved wooden statues, and colonial-era architecture that survived pirate raids in 1593.
What to expect
- 90-minute guided walk covering four churches and chapels within the 500-metre historic centre
- Entry to the Iglesia de Santa María de Betancuria, including its gilded main altarpiece and the carved image of Nuestra Señora de la Peña
- View of the Ermita de San Diego, a 17th-century chapel with a plain whitewashed facade and a single bell tower
- Stops at the ruins of the Convento de San Buenaventura, where the original stone arches and courtyard walls remain
