What to do and see in Pajara, Canary Islands: The Best Things to do
Pajara, on Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, has several beautiful beaches. Head to the eastern side of the island for white-sand beaches with calm waters; on the west coast, you’ll find black volcanic sand and rougher surf. The church of Nuestra Señora de Regla is worth a visit—the designs on its façade show Aztec influence, according to some experts.

Getting there is an adventure in its self A unsurfaced rough track with a few hairpin bends and big drops thrown in Did it in my people carrier so any vehicle can do it Check your hire car allows off-road use as some track you and charge! The beach and views when there amazing There is a restaurant in Cofete so you can get away with taking food and drinks with you My only advice is get back before it gets dark !

The southern end of this beach was just a couple of minutes from our hotel, and we loved being able to go down to the beach most days. The water is colder in February than say October, but there is plenty of sand and room for everyone. Facilities are limited on the beach but there are plenty of cafes etc nearby.

It's a long sandy beach, more then 4 km, with a huge Laguna, which is empty at low tide. So, at low tide you can have fantastic hikes over the sandbanks. This area is luckely protect for nature. So no hotels or houses in this unique landscape shaped by the ocean and the wind. During summer time the wind can be very hard. So, not so nice for a hike, but fantastic for windsurfing and kiting.

Wednesday 11th November and we drove the 100 or so kilometres from our hotel, Riu Palace Tres Islas to the outskirts of the Park. From there we drove 18 kilometres more along a twisty, undulating and unsurfaced road, that it's own right was an experience. This took us through some incredible scenery, mountainous terrain and colourful rock formations. We ended up at the most south western tip of the Park, where the road came to an end and is where the Faro de Jandia is located along the rugged coastline. It is a working Lighthouse, but not open to the public, however it was possible to walk around the outside an explore the rugged coast. We also drove an additional 8 kilometres, from the Cofete junction, to the western side of the Park to visit the village of Cofete, enjoying the amazing scenery on the way. Once there we walked along a small part of the stunning beach of Cofete and visited the small and rather unique beach cemetery of Cofete. Amazing experience.

Wednesday 11th November and we drove the 140 kilometres from our hotel, Riu Place in Corralejo to visit here. Our route took us via Morro Jable, the final 19 kilometres were on a twisty and undulating unsurfaced road which twisted and turned through the spectacular Natural Park of Jandia. The lighthouse is situated at the very end of the Jandía peninsula. Apart from the lighthouse building, tower and a restaurant there is nothing here apart from beautiful wild and rugged terrain with spectacular scenery. The restaurant was closed and looked as if it had not been open for some considerable time. A lighthouse was first build on this site in 1864. The current lighthouse is still in use today. It's dark stone tower, with the light at the top, measures 19 metres (62 feet). Our visit here was intended as a quick trip, as it turns out we stayed here for a good while. We walked across the headland just enjoying the wild landscape and it's lava formations. There were very few people here so we just wondered freely around loving the freedom and fresh air.

Please leave a donation for the family when you enter. Open 10-1400 and 1400-1700. We were lucky enough to meet the owner Pedro and he gave us a guided tour of the out of bounds areas to tourists. Such a bizarre underground chamber with striking similarities to the architecture of Auschvitz. No natural daylight downstairs, tunnels and cells. Please read up on all the conspiracy theories before you go. We went in our little rental car and got there unscathed and full of adventure. This was the highlight of our trip for me. The beach came a close second
