Fuerteventura's natural identity brings together landscape, biodiversity and ways of inhabiting a fragile island territory.
Wide horizons, worn volcanoes and endless beaches on an island shaped by the trade winds.
Among its main reference points are Historic Betancuria, Pastoral tradition, Open coasts, which connect landscape, memory and everyday life. Island nature is best understood as a relationship between ecosystems and human uses, not as scenery separated from history.
