Pájara, Municipality in Fuerteventura, Spain
Pájara is a municipality located on the southwestern side of Fuerteventura island with diverse landscapes. The territory includes elevated terrain, valleys, and coastal zones that stretch from inland areas to beaches with white sand.
The territory was settled by Guanche people long before Spanish conquest arrived in the 15th century, as shown by archaeological finds. Traces of these early inhabitants remain visible in settlement remains scattered across the land.
The Church of Nuestra Señora de Regla stands at the town center with carved decorations showing suns, snakes, and panthers on its façade that visitors can see today. These designs reflect connections to distant cultures and become visible as you walk around the main square.
The area is best reached through Fuerteventura Airport with regular bus services connecting the main towns throughout the municipality. Consider exploring the southern coastal regions and northern elevated areas during separate visits depending on your interests.
The Jandía area in the southernmost part holds one of the last breeding grounds for the Canarian Egyptian vulture, a rare and endangered bird. Protected natural zones there safeguard these valuable habitats and allow visitors to witness the island's natural diversity.
