Discover Lajita: Holiday Apartment, Coast and Culture

Traditionally, La Lajita was shaped by agriculture, livestock farming and artisanal fishing; at the same time, the structure of the old houses has been preserved. Anyone who wants to take the appearance of the town into account when planning their trip, rather than focusing only on individual activities, can consider both aspects as separate points of reference.

A holiday apartment in La Lajita can be assessed based on travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions. This information relates to the accommodation, while the townscape, paths, coast and market remain separate topics for planning the trip.

Culture

An agro-artisanal market takes place in La Lajita every Sunday, bringing together local artisans and farmers. This recurring event complements the town’s historical and architectural points of reference with a dedicated market day that you can take into account when planning your schedule. The presence of these two groups also gives the market a clearly recognisable connection between artisanal work and agriculture.

Paths and History

The Ruta de La Lajita begins at Plaza de La Lajita. The Ruta de La Lajita includes the Matas Blancas casemates, former artillery positions built during the Second World War, and leads to a fossil site. On the Ruta de Cardón, after the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Fátima, the path continues through the Barranco de Tarajal de Sanco to La Lajita.

The different starting points and routes can serve as points of comparison when planning your individual day. You can consider the two routes separately and focus your attention on a different thematic emphasis each time. Such a comparison keeps the planning open without prescribing a fixed order or a specific programme. You can also weigh the route-related themes independently of the other town, coastal and nature-related topics. Different interests can be taken into account side by side without creating a binding sequence for your days.

Coast

Playa de La Lajita has black sand and calm water; it is also used as an anchorage. Playa de La Lajita is accessible by bus.

The coast, the history of the town and the paths each place different emphasis. You can weigh these topics independently and shape your own plans according to the type of discovery you want to put at the centre. The topics can be considered alongside one another without having to combine them into a single sequence or uniform daily programme. Individual interests can take priority, while other topics are added as supplementary elements. Such a comparison remains open and prescribes neither an order nor a particular focus.

Anyone wishing to consider additional destinations besides La Lajita can also include Costa Calma, Pared and Morro Del Jable.

Nature

Wildlife is another area to consider when planning your trip. Alongside the coast, culture and hiking routes, it can be viewed as a separate focus in addition to the town information, without creating a fixed order for your days.

Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura is home to more than 3,000 animals from 250 different species. One of the main attractions is a camel ride along the park’s savannah route. Wildlife and activities can be considered as different topics within this nature-related area.
