Lastly, you can explore the history of prehistoric Fuerteventura in the exhibits of the Betancuria Museum.

Just a short drive away is the Molino de Antigua, a restored windmill near the village of Antigua which boats remarkable gardens that you could spend hours traversing. When you’re trying to make up your mind about what to do in Fuerteventura, you’ll find that there are more than enough attractions to keep you busy throughout your Fuerteventura holidays.
