About this experience

Churches in Costa Calma is a guided tour of the Catholic parish church of Nuestra Señora del Carmen, located in the centre of Costa Calma on Fuerteventura's Jandía peninsula. The visit covers the church's modern Canarian architecture, its simple whitewashed interior, and the wooden sculpture of the Virgen del Carmen carried in local processions. The tour lasts 45 minutes and includes a brief history of the parish's role in the fishing and tourism community since its consecration in 1995.

  • 45-minute guided walk through the church nave and side chapel, with seating available throughout

  • Access to the small side room displaying donated ex-votos and old photographs of the original 1970s chapel
