Pico de la Zarza, Mountain summit in Las Palmas, Spain.

Pico de la Zarza, also called Pico de Jandía, is the highest mountain on Fuerteventura, rising to 814 metres on the Jandía peninsula in the municipality of Pájara. It is the remnant of a layered volcano that emerged from the sea 21 million years ago; its north-northwest flank drops steeply toward the Cofete coastal plain, while the southwest slope is gentler. The summit area is fenced to keep goats out and protect endemic plants.

The mountain is the remnant of a layered volcano that rose from the sea about 21 million years ago. Its northwest crater rim collapsed roughly 12 to 14 million years ago, leaving the crescent-shaped Jandía massif. The peak consists of olivine and olivine-pyroxene basalt flows from the middle and upper Miocene.

The name la zarza refers to the blackberry bush Rubus ulmifolius, which on Fuerteventura grows only on the summits of the Jandía peninsula. The trail is part of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura's network of signposted paths, and the walk from Jandía Playa takes a little over two and a half hours.

The marked trail PR FV 54 starts at the beach promenade of Jandía Playa, a district of Morro Jable, and passes just below the Talahijas (243 m) before reaching the summit after 7.5 km. The climb on foot takes a little over two and a half hours. The path is signposted and maintained as part of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura trail network.

The summit area is fenced off to keep goats out and protect endemic plants such as the Jandía bugloss (Echium handiense) and Winter's marguerite (Argyranthemum winteri). The name Zarza comes from the bramble Rubus ulmifolius, which on Fuerteventura grows only on the Jandía peaks.
