Santa Maria de Betancuria, Gothic Catholic church in Betancuria, Spain.
The Santa Maria de Betancuria church features three naves, a white stone exterior, and a wooden ceiling with traditional Mudejar influences.
Founded in 1410 by Jean de Bethencourt, the original structure endured a pirate attack in 1593, leading to reconstruction at the end of the 17th century.
The church houses religious artifacts, including a baroque altarpiece from the 17th century depicting Nuestra Señora de la Concepción and various Franciscan images.
Visitors can purchase a combination ticket that grants access to both the church interior and the Museo de Arte Sacro's collection of religious paintings.
The church contains a stone floor, carved wooden ceiling decorated in gold and red tones, and displays numerous religious vestments in its sacristy.

Fuerteventura, the second largest island in the Canary Islands, is characterized by its diverse landscapes and notable geological features. The island houses spectacular formations such as the white dunes of Corralejo Natural Park, extending over more than 10 kilometers, the 70-million-year-old Ajuy caves, and accessible volcanoes like Calderon Hondo with its 70-meter-deep crater. The coastline offers expansive beaches like the one in Cofete, 12 kilometers long and backed by the Jandía mountains, as well as Lobos Island, a volcanic nature reserve with black sand beaches. Beyond its natural assets, Fuerteventura offers cultural experiences such as the Grain Museum, which traces the island's agricultural history, and activities suitable for all ages with Oasis Park with 3,000 animals or Aqua Water Park in Corralejo. The island's climate allows visits year-round, with mild temperatures and ample sunshine promoting exploration of its natural parks, historical sites, and preserved coastline.
