Ajuy, Fishing village in Pájara, Spain
Ajuy sits on the western shore of Fuerteventura, featuring a black sand beach bordered by steep limestone cliffs and natural caves.
Norman explorer Jean de Béthencourt selected this coastal area in 1402 as his landing point for the Spanish conquest of Fuerteventura.
The village maintains traditional fishing methods passed through generations, with local fishermen departing daily from the small harbor.
Visitors reach Ajuy via the FV-621 road, with regular bus services connecting to other parts of the island throughout the day.
The limestone extracted from Ajuy contained exceptional purity levels and was exported through its port until the late 19th century.
