Teguitar in Fuerteventura – Nature Trails and Culture

Nature and Trails

The trail from El Tequital runs through the Malpaís Grande natural area and is connected to the island-wide hiking network and Fuerteventura’s local hiking trails. In the surroundings of Teguitar, an unpaved track leads from the FV-2 to the Centro de Interpretación de La Atalayita. From Teguitar, several trails lead from the FV-2 to the geological site Cuchillos cuaternarios de Vigán. The Monumento Natural de Los Cuchillos de Vigán can be reached from Teguitar in the surrounding area. A paved track connects two settlement centres and runs through a zone with moderate use. The different types of routes, surfaces and destinations can be considered separately; a track is not automatically equivalent to a trail leading to a cultural or geological site.

Culture

Pilgrims use the trail from El Tequital for the Romería in honour of Hermano San Pedro as part of the El Tequital festivities. During the Romería, the route led from the Centro Cultural to the Cueva del Hermano Pedro. The 2023 programme was the XXII Semana Cultural de Tequital. The programme of the XXIII Semana Cultural de Tequital in 2024 included recreational, sporting, cultural and traditional activities. For planning purposes, you can treat the year, festival context and type of activity as separate points of reference.

Regional Products

Sabores Canarios Maritaty offers a tasting of various types of cheese in Teguitar, specialises in the island’s goat cheese and sells it alongside other products from Fuerteventura, including olive oil, confectionery, wines, tuno juices, mojos and jams. In terms of the culinary focus, you can consider the tasting as a separate topic alongside the broader range of regional products.
