On the Fuerteventura peninsula called Jandia, a hiking route has been plotted. If you want to brave the 817 meter high mountain, you will get to see the most spectacular view of the entire island. (provided the weather is nice of course) You will have to walk for almost 3.5 hours so bring enough water and put on good and sturdy shoes. The walking route runs along beautiful vistas, so don't forget to bring your camera. (There is road sign on the route)

This typical Canarian fishing village is located on a bay on the west coast, enclosed by a few impressive cliffs and caves that have been carved into volcanic stone by the thunderous sea over the centuries.
In geological terms, this part of the island is special for more reasons: volcanic rock was found to be the oldest in the Canary Islands and even older than the island itself.
Take the footpath that goes up from the beach (north side).
This is the start of the hiking route to the caves.
Always keep left. There is a viewing platform just after the lime kilns.
If you walk further you can see the light and dark layers of the earth from different eras.
The further you walk, the calmer it becomes.
Further down the Caleta Negra the sea caves are coming into view. A slippery staircase descends to an impressive cave vault and a beach at the bottom of the steep rock face.
At low tide you can walk into the caves a bit, but keep an eye on the tide.
If you walk further, you will arrive at Pena Horadada, a rock gate formed by erosion.
Follow the same route on the way back, but then take the higher path from where you have a beautiful view of Ajuy and the beach.
