About this experience

Churches in Corralejo is a guided walking tour of the town's Catholic places of worship, based in the northern resort of Fuerteventura. The route includes the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen, the main parish church, and the smaller Ermita de San José. Each stop provides historical context on the buildings' construction and their role in local fishing community life.

What to expect

  • Tour lasts 90 minutes and covers 4 churches and chapels within a 1.5 km radius of the town centre
  • Entry to the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen includes viewing its 19th-century wooden altarpiece and maritime-themed stained glass
  • Visitors see the restored Ermita de San José, which dates from 1768 and contains a single nave with a mudéjar ceiling
  • The guide explains the annual feast day processions, including the August celebration of the Virgen del Carmen, which carries the statue to the harbour
  • Suitable for history-focused adults and families with children aged 8 and over, as the walk involves standing inside unheated stone buildings
  • The tour ends at the Capilla del Puerto, a small chapel near the ferry terminal, where visitors can observe the original bell from 1902
