The Colorful History of Fuerteventura
Discovering Fuerteventura’s Rich Past
While many tourists flock to Fuerteventura for its stunning beaches and abundant sunshine, the island offers much more. It is believed to be the oldest of the Canary Islands, boasting a rich and vibrant history waiting to be explored on your next visit.
A Glimpse into the Island's Early Days
Fuerteventura, the closest Canary Island to the African coast, enjoys almost year-round sunshine. Its history dates back to around 200 BC when the first settlers arrived. Although shrouded in mystery, these early inhabitants are thought to have African, possibly Egyptian, roots. They wore goatskin shoes, and even today, islanders proudly call themselves "Mahorero" or "Maho," a nod to this ancient tradition.
Archaeological findings from island caves reveal the tools and pottery of these early settlers, highlighting a simple, pastoral lifestyle. Remarkably, they had not yet discovered the wheel.
The Spanish Invasion and Its Impact
Life on Fuerteventura remained unchanged until the early 15th century when the Spanish conquered the island. Despite local resistance, the Spanish prevailed, and Fuerteventura has remained under Spanish rule ever since.
Embracing Tranquility in Modern Times
Significant change did not reach the island until tourism began to grow about 20 years ago. Even now, Fuerteventura is less developed than Tenerife and Lanzarote. Its enduring tranquility is part of its charm, offering visitors a serene escape and a chance to delve into its fascinating history.
Explore and Enjoy
Today, Fuerteventura invites holidaymakers to explore its breathtaking landscapes and uncover the stories that shape its colorful past. Whether you're strolling along its pristine beaches or exploring ancient ruins, the island promises a unique and enriching experience.
