Parque Rural de Betancuria, Protected rural park in western Fuerteventura, Spain
Located across 16,544 hectares, Betancuria Rural Park encompasses mountains, ravines, and valleys featuring indigenous plants like tabaiba and palm trees.
Established in January 1987, this conservation area includes the Natural Monument of Ajuy, containing the oldest rock formations of the Canary Islands.
The park preserves traditional agricultural practices and local architecture within its boundaries, maintaining the connection between nature and human activities.
Visitors access the park via the FV-30 road, which connects multiple viewpoints and provides opportunities for hiking and nature observation.
The park houses a population of Barbary ground squirrels, introduced in the 1960s, which adapted to the sparse landscape.
