Churches in El Cotillo is a self-guided walking tour of the village's historic religious sites, located in the fishing town of El Cotillo on Fuerteventura's northwest coast. The route covers the 17th-century Ermita de Nuestra Señora del Buen Viaje and the modern Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Peña, both within a 15-minute walk of each other. Each church offers distinct architecture and local maritime heritage, with the ermita's whitewashed facade contrasting the newer stone-built parish church.
What to expect
- Tour duration is 1-2 hours on foot, covering two churches within a 1.5-kilometre radius of El Cotillo's main square
- View the 17th-century Ermita del Buen Viaje, a small whitewashed chapel with a wooden altarpiece and a statue of the Virgin of Good Voyage, patron of fishermen
- Enter the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Peña, built in 1999, featuring a modern bell tower and a stone interior with local basalt walls
- Read the Spanish-language information panels outside each church detailing their construction dates and restoration work
- Suitable for visitors interested in religious architecture, local history, or a quiet cultural stop between beach visits
- No entry fee is charged, and both churches are open daily from 9:00 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 19:00, except during mass services
