Guise and Ayose, Bronze statue in Betancuria, Spain.

Two bronze figures stand 4.8 meters tall at the scenic viewpoint between Santa Ines Valley and Betancuria, representing ancient indigenous rulers of Fuerteventura.

Created by sculptor Emiliano Hernandez in 2008, these statues commemorate the two kings who governed the divided territories of Maxorata and Jandia until 1402.

The sculptures depict Guise and Ayose holding their command staffs, symbolizing their roles as the last native monarchs before the Norman conquest of Fuerteventura.

Located along road FV-30 near Morro Velosa, the monument features dedicated parking areas on both sides of the road for visitors to stop and observe.

The statues mark the exact location where historians believe an ancient defensive wall once separated the two kingdoms of prehistoric Fuerteventura.
