About this experience

Churches in Playa de Sotavento is a self-guided tour of the Catholic chapels and hermitages scattered along the coastal strip of Sotavento, Fuerteventura. The route focuses on small whitewashed buildings, many dating from the 18th century, that serve the local fishing and farming communities. Visitors walk between sites, observing simple altars, wooden statues, and the annual fiesta decorations that remain in place year-round.

What to expect

Walking route of 3 to 4 kilometres between four chapels, taking roughly 90 minutes at a leisurely pace
Entry to each chapel is free, with doors open during daylight hours except during private services
See the 18th-century Ermita de Nuestra Señora de la Peña, with its plain stone facade and single bell gable
Observe the interior of the Ermita de San José, which contains a carved wooden Christ figure from the 19th century
Suitable for visitors interested in rural Canarian religious architecture, not for those seeking ornate cathedrals or guided commentary
The route includes short unpaved sandy paths, so sturdy footwear is required, and no refreshment stops are on the way
