Jandía Natural Park, Natural park on Jandía Peninsula, Fuerteventura, Spain.
Description
Jandía Natural Park is a protected area on the peninsula featuring volcanic terrain with white sand beaches, rocky cliffs, and mountains. The landscape is defined by extensive dune systems that run along the coastline throughout the park.
History
The peninsula was once a separate volcanic island that later joined Fuerteventura through volcanic eruptions, which formed the La Pared isthmus. This geological process created the landform seen today.
Culture
The name reflects the ancient people who inhabited this territory, leaving behind stone structures and caves as traces of their daily lives. These remnants show how communities adapted to the harsh environment over time.
Practical
The area is accessible via the FV-2 coastal road from Puerto del Rosario or through the FV-605 route from Pájara. Both routes provide access to different sections of the park.
