Fuerteventura Tourism Guide - Pajara

Ajuy Pajara Fuerteventura

Ajuy on the west coast of Pajara is a not to be missed location on your Fuerteventura tour. Still little known, this pretty fishing village has an aesthetically pleasing black sandy beach framed by high rising cliffs on either side. Looking out to sea, to the right you can hook into the coastal path which leads all the way along the cliff tops to the spectacular Ajuy caves - certainly a highlight on Fuerteventura.

The Museo Canario in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has a selection of exhibits on the Ajuy Caves, with Guanche artefacts found here on display. You can move right into these caves via the footpath (care needs to be taken, and watch the tides - it's a walk that's perfectly doable, but best done in company and children will need to be supervised as the footpath is quite exposed).

More is currently being made of this spectacular historic site on Fuerteventura - looks like there is soon to be some explanatory guide boards, and the footpath has definitely been improved. ItÕs a must visit if you're touring Fuerteventura in your hire car.

Ajuy makes a very pleasant base too, with a pretty little bay beach, and a low key Canarian fishing village feel - peace and quiet guaranteed, and some superb coastal walking and birdwatching on the menu. There's a selection of excellent fish restaurants here too.
