The Church of San José is a 20th-century Catholic parish church in the centre of Gran Tarajal, Fuerteventura. It serves as the principal place of worship for the town's fishing community and features a simple whitewashed exterior with a single bell tower. The interior houses a wooden altar and religious icons reflecting the island's Canarian heritage.
